Since newspapers do not live on bad news alone, the writer of the ?Que se dice? (?What?s Being Said?) column says that it was a true pleasure to hear the news from the District Attorney for Santo Domingo that fourteen metallurgical and hardware businessmen had been arraigned on charges of stealing and selling electricity and telephone transmission lines. The columnist says that this is the only way to counteract this form of vandalism, which has, for some time now, become a problem of public safety, as if the thieves do not find buyers for their ?merchandise? they will stop stealing it. The writer congratulates the National Police and the District Attorney for their initiative, which should be taken all the way ? since public ridicule is a good deterrent ? and reveal the names of the people and businesses involved in this illegal practice.
