Acting Governor of the Philippines Wright urges Governor Joven to exercise his authority as provincial governor and investigate the complaint that has been filed against the Municipal Council of San Luis. The council is alleged to have refused to allow the assessment of buildings and land belonging to the Catholic Church, and to have ejected the parish priest from possession of those properties. If the municipal council has acted illegally, and if the parties refuse to restore the properties to the church, Joven must enforce the law.
