DEPARTMENT OF" COMMERCE BUREAU OF THE CENSUS WASHINGTON ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING THIRTEENTH CENSUS REPORTS. SEPTEMBER 11, 1913. Of the final census reports listed on page 3, Volumes II, VI, VII, VIII, and IX have thus far been issued. The volumes numbered I to XI, constituting the complete reports of the census, a,re bejng issued in a very limited edition, intended chiefly for libraries, institutions, and special students of statistics. A condensed report, entitled Abstract of the Census, has been printed in fl, much larger edition, intended for more general distribution, and prepared in such a way as to meet the need of most pel'sons desiTing information concerning the results of the census. It contains in tabular form all important census statistics for the United States as 11 whole and for each state and principal city, together with a brief text explaining the figures and their meaning. The Abstract therefore is a condensation of the complet.e census reports, both tables and text, 11lld not merely a compilation of tables. The Abstract is issued in special editions for each of the several states, each edition containing a supplement giving the dotailed statistics for counties, cities, and other civil divisions of the state to which it relates, designed to meet the needs of persons resident in that state or especially interested in it. The supplement contains also both tables and text. As a compact reference work of general and local interest the Abstract is more convenient for most persons than the voluminous final reports.

    FEMA Recovery Efforts Continue on the Island with Funding Obligations for 155 Projects Release Date: April 21, 2020 GUAYNABO, Puerto Rico – FEMA and the Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction and Resilience, or COR3, have obligated nearly $20.8 million in funds for 155 projects related to the recovery and reconstruction of Puerto Rico due to Hurricane María. These funds were obligated between April 10 and April 16 and represent the largest number of projects obligated in a given week this year. “Our commitment to the island’s recovery is not only evident in the unprecedent number of projects we are obligating each week, but in our staff’s dedication to the mission during the ongoing situation. We are determined to continue working to help rebuild a stronger, more resilient island, one project a time,” said Alex Amparo, Federal Disaster Recovery Coordinator for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. As the island continues to safeguard its residents with social distancing and self- quarantine measures, FEMA and COR3 remain focused on prioritizing obligations of funds to municipalities for eligible expenses to help communities recover. To date, over $6.6 billion has been approved for Puerto Rico under FEMA's Public Assistance program. The latest grants obligated are as follows: Nearly $7.6 million for repairs to parks and recreational facilities. Nearly $7.3 million for repairs to roads and bridges. Over $3.1 million for repairs to public buildings and equipment.

  • Sitios Arqueológicos De Ponce
    Sitios Arqueológicos de Ponce RESUMEN ARQUEOLÓGICO DEL MUNICIPIO DE PONCE La Perla del Sur o Ciudad Señorial, como popularmente se le conoce a Ponce, tiene un área de aproximadamente 115 kilómetros cuadrados. Colinda por el oeste con Peñuelas, por el este con Juana Díaz, al noroeste con Adjuntas y Utuado, y al norte con Jayuya. Pertenece al Llano Costanero del Sur y su norte a la Cordillera Central. Ponce cuenta con treinta y un barrios, de los cuales doce componen su zona urbana: Canas Urbano, Machuelo Abajo, Magueyes Urbano, Playa, Portugués Urbano, San Antón, Primero, Segundo, Tercero, Cuarto, Quinto y Sexto, estos últimos seis barrios son parte del casco histórico de Ponce. Por esta zona urbana corren los ríos Bucaná, Portugués, Canas, Pastillo y Matilde. En su zona rural, los barrios que la componen son: Anón, Bucaná, Canas, Capitanejo, Cerrillos, Coto Laurel, Guaraguao, Machuelo Arriba, Magueyes, Maragüez, Marueño, Monte Llanos, Portugués, Quebrada Limón, Real, Sabanetas, San Patricio, Tibes y Vallas. Ponce cuenta con un rico ajuar arquitectónico, que se debe en parte al asentamiento de extranjeros en la época en que se formaba la ciudad y la influencia que aportaron a la construcción de las estructuras del casco urbano. Su arquitectura junto con los yacimientos arqueológicos que se han descubierto en el municipio, son parte del Inventario de Recursos Culturales de Ponce. Esta arquitectura se puede apreciar en las casas que fueron parte de personajes importantes de la historia de Ponce como la Casa Paoli (PO-180), Casa Salazar (PO-182) y Casa Rosaly (PO-183), entre otras. Se puede ver también en las escuelas construidas a principios del siglo XX: Ponce High School (PO-128), Escuela McKinley (PO-131), José Celso Barbosa (PO-129) y la escuela Federico Degetau (PO-130), en sus iglesias, la Iglesia Metodista Unida (PO-126) y la Catedral Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (PO-127) construida en el siglo XIX.

  • (A) PUERTO RICO - Large Scale Characteristics
    (a) PUERTO RICO - Large scale characteristics Although corals grow around much of Puerto Rico, physical conditions result in only localized reef formation. On the north coast, reef development is almost non-existent along the western two-thirds possibly as a result of one or more of the following factors: high rainfall; high run-off rates causing erosion and silt-laden river waters; intense wave action which removes suitable substrate for coral growth; and long shore currents moving material westward along the coast. This coast is steep, with most of the island's land area draining through it. Reef growth increases towards the east. On the wide insular shelf of the south coast, small reefs are found in abundance where rainfall is low and river influx is small, greatest development and diversity occurring in the southwest where waves and currents are strong. There are also a number of submerged reefs fringing a large proportion of the shelf edge in the south and west with high coral cover and diversity; these appear to have been emergent reefs 8000-9000 years ago which failed to keep pace with rising sea levels (Goenaga in litt. 7.3.86). Reefs on the west coast are limited to small patch reefs or offshore bank reefs and may be dying due to increased sediment influx, water turbidity and lack of strong wave action (Almy and Carrión-Torres, 1963; Kaye, 1959). Goenaga and Cintrón (1979) provide an inventory of mainland Puerto Rican coral reefs and the following is a brief summary of their findings. On the basis of topographical, ecological and socioeconomic characteristics, Puerto Rico's coastal perimeter can be divided into eight coastal sectors -- north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, and offshore islands.

  • R. C. Del S. 297 14 De Septiembre De 2018 Presentada Por El Señor Nazario Quiñones Referida a La Comisión De Desarrollo De La Región Sur Central
    TEXTO APROBADO EN VOTACION FINAL POR EL SENADO (8 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2018) GOBIERNO DE PUERTO RICO 18va. Asamblea 4ta. Sesión Legislativa Ordinaria SENADO DE PUERTO RICO R. C. del S. 297 14 de septiembre de 2018 Presentada por el señor Nazario Quiñones Referida a la Comisión de Desarrollo de la Región Sur Central RESOLUCIÓN CONJUNTA Para ordenarle a la Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados de Puerto Rico (AAA) efectuar un análisis de costos dentro de su presupuesto para construir el acueducto rural del Noroeste de Ponce; y evaluar las alternativas de fondos estatales y federales disponibles para estos propósitos. EXPOSICIÓN DE MOTIVOS La construcción del acueducto rural del Noroeste de Ponce ha sido objeto de discusión pública por años. Según los reportajes más recientes, la construcción de este acueducto tiene un costo de aproximadamente 30 millones de dólares. El proyecto se detuvo luego de dos años de intensa lucha en defensa de fondos federales que se perdieron tras la quiebra del Banco Gubernamental de Fomento (BGF), en el año 2014. Ante esto, al presente la Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados de Puerto Rico (AAA) y el Municipio de Ponce están uniendo esfuerzos para allegar fondos y se construya el acueducto. De materializarse este proyecto, se beneficiarían diversas comunidades, entre ellas Tibes, Montes Llanos, Monte Verde, Pastillo, La Cuchilla y los vecinos de las carreteras PR-123, PR-504 y PR-505. De igual manera, la capacidad del sistema de 2 bombeo de Guaraguao mejoraría, el cual sirve a los sectores Corral Viejo y Santas Pascuas. Algunos de estos sectores se suplen de sistemas comunitarios y, mediante este proyecto, podrían conectarse al sistema de la AAA.
