THE CUBA REVIEW 



hi-cause it will gin- to thr country a conipK'te system extended all ovt-r it. carrying with it 

 wealth and prosperity to all the inhabitants of the Republic. 



One of the principal mea.sures taken by the jircsent administration was to order the re- 

 measuring of the highways as well as their cla.s.sification. as it wa.s noticed that during the 

 second "Intervencion." and also during the past administration, some distances of repaired 

 road and several approaches to isolated bridges were matle to appear as highways: also there 

 were some highways of greater length and others less, for example: in the district of Matanzas 

 there was the highway from Matanzas to Madruga. which appeared as having 2o kilometers 

 and which in reality is of 2.") kilometers, and in Sjinta Clara there was the road from Trinidad 

 to Casilda as having 12,800 kilometers, which in reality measures only 10,10.3 kilometers. 



The re-measurement of roads by the Department having been verified, and corresponding 

 classifications made, it was found that the length of same as stated in the last Report, to which 

 reference is made, had varied notably, as some works that figured as highways were found to 

 be repaired roads and others appear now as approaches to isolated bridges.
