I read No. 1,353.-Santiago, August 20, 1900. For the National Congress has given its approval to the following LEI Project: " Single article.-Authorize the President of the Republic to invest up to the amount of two hundred thousand pesos in the opening of roads in those portions of the national territory to be enabled for colonization, i in the acquisition of the necessary elements for the navigation of the rivers i lakes of those rejions.
