A sani- tarium near Cienfuegos will cost $150,000 and a children's hospital in Havana $100,000. Bridges will be constructed at needed points, and a great sum will go to the con- struction and completion of aqueducts throughout the island. The beautiful Male- con promenade along the gulf of Havana will be greatly extended. New postoffice buildings are planned for Santiago de Cuba, Camaguey, Santa Clara, Matanzas, Pinar del Rio, Guines, Manza- nillo, Cienfuegos, Cardenas, Nueva Gerona, Isle of Pines, Sagna la Grande and Bata- bano, at a cost of $340,000, allowing $22,000 for each building. Their Contract Extended The Havana City Council, on June 20th, extended the city contract for gas and electric service to the Gas and Electric Company of Havana for fifteen years from the termina- tion of its present agreement on January 1, 1912. The contract totals about $200,000 per an- num and includes all the boroughs. The extension will be valid for the pe- riod stated, unless a new gas and electric light company should be established in the interval, in which case a call for bids will be made by the city council, and the serv- ice contracted with the company making the most advantageous proposition.
