President Roosevelt has considered both Secretary of War Taft’s recent letter, as well as a letter from Secretary of State Elihu Root, on the history of construction contracts made arranging for the construction of sewers and paving of roads in Havana, Cuba. Roosevelt agrees with the conclusions that Taft and Root came to, and is glad that there appears to be a clear way to move forward in these areas.
