MICHEL * To complete the Decree No. 164 issued by the Legislature XLIII H. Congress of State for which elections were declared valid conducted the first of July 1973, the Municipal Committee of the PRI to my office helped organize a popular place to preach by Bando Solemn declaration of Governor-Elect Prof . Antonio Barbosa Heldt.
For instructions de la dirigencia estatal del P.R.I., por mi conducto, fueron invitados a participar los aspirantes a la candidatura del partido a la Presidencia Municipal. En ese contexto de unidad e inclusión asistieron José Antonio Covarrubias Rodríguez, Jorge Pérez Ochoa, Salvador Mora Nolasco, Isaac Ramírez Delgado, Lino Corona Pérez y Rafael Aguilar Villalvazo.
Así, ese domingo 22 de julio, la comitiva inició a las diez de la mañana en el ya demolido edificio sede del Cabildo y recorrió los cuatro puntos cardinales del jardín principal y en cada esquina, el Secretario del Ayuntamiento Gustavo Sotomayor de la Mora dio lectura al referido Decreto. El acompañamiento en el que también participaron la mayoría local leaders of social and productive sectors was headed by Prof. J. Mayor Felix Delgado Velázquez.
for things that happened, the month of September 1973 was a period of extreme contrasts. Let's recall of some of them: The first day prior to the third report of President Luis Echeverria Alvarez was installed XLIX Federal Legislature that were part of our state, Daniel A. Members Moreno Diaz for the first district and Jorge Armando Gaitan Gudiño per second.
As we approached the sixth report of government of Don Pablo Silva García no one imagined the tragic events in the coming days. Indeed, local and national news, from less to more, they began to realize the polarization of Chilean society, which ended on September 11 with the coup of Augusto Pinochet and the tragic death of President Salvador Allende who committed suicide after the bombing that stood at the Mint. In particular, struck me what happened and I had the pleasure of knowing him personally at a meeting with young people held in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, on December 2, 1972.
On top of all evils, on the eve of the definitions of the candidates for mayor, September 18, 1973, which began at noon as a rumor, later confirmed in "a bullet is deprived of life, the governor-elect Antonio Barbosa Heldt. The next day, the press published a letter addressed to Mr. Mario Moya Palencia, Secretary of the Interior, which literally said
"... All my desire to serve Colima, which became apparent during the political campaign that I took reach out to the governorship of that organization have been frustrated due to my health began to deteriorate in recent weeks, the way you composed when I asked permission to leave the country and taken to a hospital.
Nothing has been giving the kidney infection and as a result my morale has suffered a sharp decline to the point that I have more than two months without sleep.
What to do with problems as serious as my health and lack of proven almost impossible to rescue her. Colima need a ruler healthy and for that reason the dynamism needed to undertake major actions recommended to the undersigned by the President Echeverria and already included in my next government program started. So I think the only solution to this situation as a crossroads that is presented by circumstances beyond my desire is my voluntary elimination, in order to make room for who in the prime of their health Colima can do what the state requires for its progress. Thank
licensed by the support and encouragement at all times received from you and your concerns so he could regain my health. Failed. I apologize for the harm caused to the momentary political situation in Colima and tranquility, but it is better that this happened sooner than later. His friend and server much appreciated. Antonio Barbosa Heldt ... "(concludes the appointment of newspaper clippings made by the author of this column.)
On September 19 we attended the funeral ceremony which took place in the Chamber of H. State Congress that was located in the ground floor of the Government Palace, after which the funeral procession went to the municipal cemetery. The funeral of Don Antonio Barbosa Heldt were led by Governor Pablo Silva García and Secretary of Education Don Victor Bravo Ahuja attended the representation of President Echeverría.
Parallel to the facts outlined here, on Sunday 23 September, laid the foundation stone of the new "Film Armory, which was located in front of the garden in what is now the multipurpose room. There I met Waldo Viramontes, manager of the "Circuito Montes" and the designer of the work, engineer Leopoldo Jimenez Morfin.
On Monday 24, following a whirlwind visit to Mexico City Governor Pablo Silva García was verified a meeting at the offices of the steering committee of the PRI state where they were presented as the new CEO of CEN Senator Agustín Soto Ruiz and Prof subdelegado . Lorenzo Silva Chacón. That afternoon the news broke that the mayor of Colima licensed Noriega Arturo Pizano be the candidate for Governor and the first of November would take over as Acting Governor Leonel Ramírez García.
After publishing the notice, at six o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday October 11, 1973 leading a spirited contingent concur the offices of the PRI state sectors and on behalf of the party in Armory I had the honor to request the registration of Salvador Mora Nolasco as our candidate for the Presidency Council. That same night, at a meeting chaired by the CEO and President of the party Senator Soto and Jaime Ruiz Agustin Casillas attended Salvador Enriquez Mora Nolasco and the reporter of this column. The purpose was to integrate the formula of candidates for City Council.
no major problems the return was composed as follows: Mayor candidate Salvador Nolasco Mora, deputy Celedonio Alvarez Torres. Rulers: the ejido "El Pelillo" Zachary Amador Torres substitute Lino Pérez Corona, second munícipe J. Jesus Vaca Farías, leader of the tenants of the municipal market, deputy J. Manzo Félix Llorente, General Secretary of the Armory Student Cultural Association (Acea), third José Negrete Sanchez, president of the Brotherhood of Juarez curator, deputy Pedro González Santacruz, secretary general of the union of the CROM-affiliated shippers and fourth Palos Sebastián Rodríguez , a leader of the copreros, affiliated to the CTM and substitute Eduardo Hernández Meraz, bricklayers union leader (CTM).
In the following days developed very stressful days, because, well concurrent political campaigns for governor and council, in a span of five weeks, we checked two elections. Elections for city councils were held on Sunday November 18 and overtime for governor on December 23.
The State Election Commission was responsible for the preparation and conduct of special election was presided by the licensed Isidoro Morales and Secretary Conrado Fernández Rubio Cárdenas. The Municipal Election Commission Armory was built in the following order: President Miguel Juárez Alcantar, Registrar J. Jesus Munguia Galindo; Vocal: Ignacio Gonzalez Diego. Substitutes: Jose Luis Cardenas Zamora, Antonio Bustos Ivonne Araujo and Efrain Perez Ochoa.
The ten municipalities of the State took possession on 31 December and the Governor Noriega on January Pizano. For the second time the Club de Leones Armory is located at Calle Chihuahua No. 16, was the setting for the swearing-in and installation of the third City Hall. A solemn session attended by graduates Salvador Alcaraz Ortega and Mario Rivera Valdez, the former acting governor representing Dr. Leonel Ramírez García and the second governor-elect Mr. Noriega Arturo Pizano.
On January 2, 1974, President Salvador Mora Municipal Nolasco, with the approval of Cabildo reported the following appointments: City Clerk Miguel Chavez Michel, Treasurer, Honorato Ramirez Cervantes, Director of Public Works and Services architect Juan Jose Reyes Araujo, Director of Civic Action, Social, Cultural and Sports, Professor Ruben Tinoco Alcantara Commander Arnold Police Cobián Andrade, manager of the Civil Registry office Eduardo Michel Fontana, Municipal Market Management Carlota Alvarez Mendez won Inspector Sergio Perez Ochoa, head of the Office of Recruitment and Federal Register of Electors Miguel Alcantar Juarez, Chairperson of the H. Municipal Board Cuyutlán Ochoa Ignacio de la Madrid.
In this as in the previous decade, all taxes including property taxes and business income charged by the state and federal governments and their municipalities received only minor shares. In addition, the State Legislature approved its annual budget expenditures. After then, the economic resources of the communes were scarce and many times not even enough to cover payroll. In this context, the majority of the public work was carried out by federal or state governments. Thus, all local governments who wanted to transcend had to contrive to encourage citizen participation and / or other government agencies to manage works and public services demanded by society.
Thus, in this triennium, with the participation of beneficiaries, among other works include the construction of taps and cobbled street in the town of Puerto Angel Cuyutlán and arteries throughout the first frame of the municipal including Avenue Sonora Mexico and then. Also be extended in two central medians blocks national highway in eastern and western ends up where they arrive today. Also, thanks to the efforts of the Mayor was authorized and built the Guild Technical High Juárez. For its part, the state government completed the paving Brotherhood of the road - Juarez Lopez corner.
With the central aim of reviving the economy Cuyutlán and based on the old road (gap) that connected to the spa with Manzanillo and that since the late nineteenth century was passing lateral to the railroad tracks, passing through other , for the settlements of The Plum, Tepalcates y Campos, the Governor proposed to Pizano Noriega was built by the dune a road to which a short denominábamos Cuyutlán way to Manzanillo. This project, largely supported by Deputy Armin Meza Núñez was approved by the head of the executive and work began immediately. The current highway to Manzanillo, on the stretch of the toll booth Cuyutlán the road overpass that is located before the bridge of sherds, was built on the road that built the Governor Noriega Pizano.
In my humble opinion, the most important work of Salvador Mora Nolasco is the construction of the road to Coalatilla Armory. I know, that was started with his own pocket, then got machinery Plan "Benito Juárez" and Congress authorized a fee basis for workers and payment of fuel from the Town Hall. Finally, Governor Arturo Noriega agreed that the Local Roads Board placed the dirt. Many years later he achieved the desired paving.
It is worthwhile to mention that during this administration were in the cabinet the following changes: in the first months, Pedro Guardado replaced in the Police Cobián Don Arnold Andrade.
In the second year, the resignation of the Director of Public Works and Services was appointed Alderman J. Jesus Vaca Farias. Without delay, Mr. Vaca asked to separate from the license fee of communes and once it was approved, his deputy, Mr. J. Manzo Félix Llorente became part of the Cabildo.
In the last third, Mariano Michel Ortega was supplied in the Treasury to Honorato Ramirez Cervantes and myself, gave the City Secretary Don Sergio Arias Luna.
