The President proposed
that it would be convenient that in addition
to the delegation destined to congratulate
His Excellency the President of the Government
and Captain General according to the resolution
in the file for the installation of this
Town Council, a formal communication should
be also sent by this corporation, offering
him our most heartfelt thanks for his
profitable measures in the creation of
this Villa
and having the Town Council been instructed
of the President's proposal, it was resolved
to send to His Excellency a communication
according to the terms so stated and that
for posterity, his image should be placed
in the Meeting Hall of this Council, and
also the one of Commissioner Judge Don
Juan Ignacio Rendón for his wise
advice and accurate decisions with which
this neighborhood has achieved this project,
started more than thirty five years ago.
It was proposed by the Representative
of the Solicitor General Don Antonio Moreno
that it would be convenient to send a
communication to the Royal Tribunal of
the District and the Most Illustrious
Town Council of the City of Havana and
others of its jurisdiction as well as
the Royal Consulate Tribunal notifying
them of the creation of this Council,
and the Town Council having been aware
of the proposal from the Representative
of the Solicitor General, it was resolved:
That the Commissioners prepare and send
the necessary communications to the territorial
Royal Tribunal, to the Most Illustrious
Town Council of the Capital and others
within its jurisdiction as well as to
the Royal Consulate Tribunal, for whatever
could be more convenient to serve the
public.
After discussion of the need of this Town
Council for a Counselor in those cases
in which his opinion would be necessary,
it was resolved to appoint as Counselor
of this Town Council the Honorable Judge
of the Royal Tribunal of this district
Don Juan Ignacio Rendón, and he
will be notified through a communication
sent to him by the Commissioners, the
Town Council hoping that with his well
known honesty and intelligence he will
cooperate with us for the betterment of
the public service.
After also discussing appointment of a
General Attorney-in-Fact for this Town
Council for litigations, causes and businesses
that may be offered, unanimously and in
agreement it was resolved by the gentlemen
to appoint as in effect it was appointed
Don Juan Saavedra, Officer of the Post
Office of the City of Havana and a resident
of the same as General Attorney-in-Fact
of this Town Council for litigations and
other matters that may occur, the Supervisor
of Taxes and Collections being commissioned
to notify him and being so notified, to
send to him the corresponding power-of-attorney
as soon as possible.
This Town Council, considering the lack
of funds in which it finds itself because
there are no taxes for now to pay the
necessary expenses that have been incurred
upon and to satisfy the debts due to expenses
incurred during the Commission of the
Honorable Judge Don Juan Ignacio Rendón
for the installation of this Town Council,
it was resolved that each of the gentlemen
in attendance will contribute six ounces
of gold that should be delivered to the
Supervisor of Taxes and Collections so
he can make the necessary payments after
the Commissioners take into account the
individuals that have collected voluntary
contributions from the neighbors, and
their investment is known, paying at the
same time the costs of the power-of-attorney
and pictures of His Excellency and the
Commissioner Judge delivering any difference
to Deputy Don Francisco María Ector
as the person in charge of receiving and
collecting the amounts necessary to verify
the payment by the Town Hall.
The meeting was adjourned and it was signed
by the Mayor President, and the other
officers of which I hereby faithfully
list.-(signed).-Gavilán.-Pedro
de Prado.-Francisco Vizarrón.-Juan
Francisco Fernández.- Manuel Cabrera.-
Pedro Oliva.- Santiago Travieso.- Miguel
Martínez.- Antonio Moreno.- Before
me: José Ramón Sánchez.”
And to print copies of these minutes and
to distribute them among the neighbors
on the day of the centennial of the Founding
Meeting of this Town Council, by order
of the Municipal Mayor I issue the document
herein in Güines on May nineteen,
nineteen hundred and fifteen. (Signed)
Francisco Valls Jiménez.
