SummaryResumen

The Key West Citizen reported that the Dominican government announced plans to construct a $1,000,000 factory to manufacture newsprint from bagasse, the fibrous waste of sugarcane. With imported paper costing $240 per ton, domestic production was projected to lower newsprint costs for local publishers to approximately $160 per ton. The article also discussed tests conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Standards validating a similar bagasse paper-making process developed by engineer Joaquin de la Roza.

El *Key West Citizen* informó que el gobierno dominicano anunció planes para construir una fábrica de 1 000 000 de dólares destinada a manufacturar papel de periódico a partir del bagazo, el residuo fibroso de la caña de azúcar. Frente al costo del papel importado de 240 dólares por tonelada, se proyectaba que la producción nacional reduciría los costos de papel prensa para las editoras locales a aproximadamente 160 dólares por tonelada. El artículo abordó también ensayos realizados por la Oficina de Normas de EE. UU. que validaban un método similar de elaboración de papel de bagazo desarrollado por el ingeniero Joaquín de la Roza.
