Miguel Chavez MICHEL *
In my previous collaboration (Sunday February 24 this year), I play the first part of the speech by Juan Oseguera Velázquez at the solemn session of H. State Congress which took place on April 29, 1975 in the then "Cinema Armory," said the official exhibition to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the elevation to the people of the hamlet of Armory and then today, in its report, lines down, share the second and last part:
"... The foundation of a people, represents a compromise and requires the collaboration of their inhabitants. It is understood and managed con creces aquí. Muchos de ustedes, sus progenitores y algunos ciudadanos distinguidos que ya rindieron su tributo a la tierra que hicieron fructificar, trabajaron con entusiasmo ejemplar a través de la junta de mejoras materiales. Nos merece especial mención lo realizado inicialmente, pues a pesar de que fueron obras modestas, en esos años significaban una importante inversión, tanto para los vecinos que vivían en condiciones económicas difíciles, como para las autoridades que ejercían exiguos presupuestos.
Así se construyó la primera escuela en (1937), en la cual trabajaron los educadores colimenses Ricardo Guzmán Nava, Horacio Díaz Virgen y José Juárez Martínez, con el enthusiastic teachers who once terrorized rural, working morning, noon and night, dedicating Saturday to social work in the community. Followed by the introduction of the green pond water (1939), the installation of a small plant of light and the arrangement of the garden (1942), paved streets and urbanization, building for municipal offices and many classrooms for schoolchildren.
Later, with the help of state and federal government work continued, telling the time with most utilities, except major drainage. Noted for their spirit of collaboration: Jesus Covarrubias, Eduardo Michel, Luis Gomez, Leonardo Jaramillo, Felipe Ramirez, Primitivo Guerra, Crispin Campos, Apolonio Maravilla, Manuel Muñoz, Maria Villalvazo and Daniel Silva, both deceased.
In 1958, in my capacity XXXVIII played the Legislature, I was pleased to present an initiative aimed at elevating the status of municipality in this area Armory. To support this motion, figures showed its economic and concluded by stating that unlike other parts of the state, who owe their progress especially to investors from around the country, the rise of Armory, is the product of effort ejido groups and some farmers, who have fought tenaciously from For many years, opening new lands for cultivation in inhospitable places, and building a people and a heritage for Colima and Mexico. They have joined forces to overcome the harsh environment and make the Armory, one of the most important areas of economic life of the State, grant it, the condition of municipality, not an act funny or sympathetic, is smooth and simply a right action, which will benefit the region and public services in general, as can be seen with greater efficiency and breadth, to be given the opportunity to the natives, manage and lead with enthusiasm and collaborative spirit that characterized.
This project became a reality, with the issuance of the decree 119 of May 26, 1967, and thus the youngest of the municipalities of Colima, from the first of January 1968, began its institutional life. We will not have been wrong, since the objectives are being met, as their limited budgets allow for their multiple needs. Since then have been elected as mayor of DC. Rosalio González Espinosa, Prof. Felix Delgado Velazquez and Mr. Salvador Mora current Nolasco.
The small property, who has worked in harmony with the ejido, is represented by a select group of farmers, with long-established and affection in this area. Among them for their spirit of enterprise, agricultural and industrial branches Don Pascual Moreno Barreto, who in this year, will the nursing service "Maria Luisa Barreto de Moreno, with an investment of two and a half million pesos , to be a gas station attached, in order to ensure its future revenue performance.
prospects of this city are encouraging, their agricultural production is expanding and technologically advanced farms, in the cultural aspect, in addition to three high schools, one agricultural technique in Brotherhood of Juárez, will soon realize the presidential building and offer establish school. Tourism continues to drive, thanks to the exceptional beaches and Cuyutlán Paradise. Complement the facilities provided there will be an interesting project consisting of a trailer ejido-park, community center, hotel, boats and boat tours along the canal, between the two resorts, for which Indeco-Colima, and has authorized initially six million pesos.
The Federal Delegation Management and Tourism, is planning the refurbishment of a camping area, with services in an organized, popular tourism camp, but what definitely will encourage the development of this important industry in this area, the road will coast, which is programmed with vision Mr. Noriega Governor Arturo Pizano, with an area of \u200b\u200b32 km between Cuyutlán and Campos. These projects bring as a logical consequence of the spas remodeling and expansion of tourist services, in accordance with a program of state and regional work.
We are outlining a chronic and making an assessment of a people who in their forty years of existence, it points the way of material progress and transmitted to us because it's in the atmosphere, the desire to overcome his studious youth. This time of analysis, of its institutional life, it is desirable to externalize some views and become somewhat repetitive, the repeated statements of Mr. President Luis Echeverria, inviting us to dialogue and constructive criticism, and stressing the need to raise awareness and to operate a change of mindset in Mexico, to we are men and women of our time.
If you look at the picture of the municipal government, we see that positive result the effort made by HH. Councils in the body, comprising individuals wishing to make a positive mark on their performance. It is also significant that most of the Secretaries of those communities, are young and capable professionals.
believe that the role of mayors gentlemen, should be primarily promotional, trying to coordinate all actions within their municipality, in this moment the federal government in a special way, is channeling larger resources to promote rural development and prevent further flow of migrants to the citizens, causing serious problems and so-called shantytowns. So we read with pleasure the news of the initiative launched in this regard, the dynamic mayor tecomense J. Concepción Rodríguez Ramírez. So we also see with sympathy, as local gentlemen have implemented a new way to serve their constituents, going to communities and imbued with their problems.
should serve as an example, the new national trend that has been established in the public and is necessary to interpret the thinking and system dynamics. We live in difficult times, which require adequate and timely solutions. As people of limited financial resources, we need to prioritize our needs and that public investments are channeled mainly to solve the problems of life, further expanding the basic infrastructure that fosters the creation of new jobs to combat under-employment. As part of the dynamics of the system, implementing reform management, including decentralization, creation of new agencies, modernize and streamline work procedures, trying to fight the bureaucracy. But that requires a spirit of service and a humanistic attitude. To complement this reform and to improve the technical, cultural and professional public servants, we have initiated in Colima, a series of activities sponsored by the Division of cultural action and ISSSTE, waiting for the understanding and encouragement of workers and owners of premises , so that these benefits are fully exploited, which gives the federal government bureaucracy in general.
Finally we must consider that this conclusion is not just a meeting to remember historical facts and make a gloss on what has been achieved, but we all make an order to mimic the positive experiences and work with greater vigor, to this county and all municipalities Colima, go forward at the pace of national development. Armory is a village now, but it deserves as a city, this is a stimulus to His Excellency the Governor Mr. Noriega Pizano and XLIV deputies in the constitutional legislature can and should give. This we say, certain that the people of this county, redouble their efforts to place between the cities, where urban planning at the service of man and present a pleasant appearance and strangers.
Citizens, to the joy that overwhelms us today as we celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the young people, shook the feelings that unite us, lavishing our effort and our action, to be fruitful and lead to progress Armory, Colima and Mexico .... "(concludes the transcript of the document read by the author). Marginal note: "With affection for the young and noble gentleman friend Miguel Chavez Michel. Armory, Col. April 29, 1975. " Category. Juan Oseguera Velázquez.
As you can see, in life, the master Juan Oseguera Velázquez was one of the painstaking researchers who studied and wrote about our local history. In addition to personally meet and interact with most of the framers of our people, identified with them and guided in their struggle to Armory was elevated to the status of municipality.
Indeed, the September 5, 1958, the master Juan Oseguera Velázquez, in his capacity as first deputy for the local district (Colima) filed with the H. State Congress the first initiative aimed at elevating the city to the then village of Armory. This proposal, duly supported and substantiated by circumstantial events (last days of the legislature) did not reach the consensus needed to achieve the aforementioned purpose. At that time, was governor of the state architect engineer Rodolfo Chavez Carrillo (1955 - 1961) and Mayor of Manzanillo Don Javier Mata Vargas (1956-1958). The XXXVIII Legislature (1955-1958) was composed, in addition to Professor Juan Oseguera Velázquez, Ramón Serrano by Members García, Adolfo Cárdenas Cortés, Carlos Anzar García, Pedro Cueva Chavez, Jose Macias Mejia and Málaga Herminio Rojas. Chief Clerk of the Congress: Professor Antonio Cárdenas Sandoval.
Before this event, our elders, folded away with renewed enthusiasm continued to work until the cherished aim of achieving a municipality. Aspiration that came true, as noted above lines, on May 26, 1967, issued the decree number 119. Among the principal architects of this commendable effort, always assisted and advised by the teacher Oseguera Velázquez, I remember with gratitude, as Fr. Juan Hernández León, presidents of the Municipal Board of Armory, Valente Delgado Jiménez, Francisco Andrade Colmenares, Crispin Campos Enciso, J. Jesus Vaca Michel Farias and Eusebio Rincon. Similarly, among other farmers and traders, farm leaders participated Rafael Aguilar Villalvazo, Rosalio Gonzalez Espinosa Corona Lino Perez, Isaac Jaramillo Messina, Eleno Amador Andrade, Emilio Pérez Sandoval, Mauricio Rodriguez and Simón Contreras Leal Sanchez.
