File No. 812.512/1291
Special Representative Rodgers to the Secretary of State
222. Discussed mining taxes matter with Cabrera this morning. Secured extension time for payment taxes current tercio without penalty until September 1. Informed no action in relation to confiscation, fines or other penalties for nonpayment taxes last tercio had been ordered as desire is to investigate conditions as to operation mines and probabilities as to the surrender of mineral lands hinted at, a general question which will be considered by Department Fomento. Think no drastic action will be undertaken and any fine ordered will be small.
