The fact that some government officials according to Mr. Dacanay, use Baguio for the summer capital is proving very expensive to the in- sular treasury. He said:

This is being spent in the form of tran- sportation, subsistence and quar ters which are provided for them during their stay in the summer capital of this country.

In fact, the Governor-general, educational officials, provincial fiscais, auditors, Justices of the Supreme Court, and other govern. ment officials are at present Authorized directly or indirectly to go to Baguio where they stay for educational courses or ferences and to perform a part of their official duties in this health

There are also several other reasons why Baguio should become the national capital of the Philip pine Islands, In the first place, Baguio should be selected because of its strategic position, having been located, in one mile above the sea level. And a plateau about in the second place, Baguio be cause of its high altitude has a. very invigorating climate which is indispensable to the health of government employees who are required to stay indoors in con- nection with the performance of their official duties.".
