VERBATIM installation acta + Figueroa's long installation DISCOURSE (1 May 1834) — 'una era nueva se dibuja… la aurora de la libertad… California, este pueblo naciente arrancado de las cadenas en que yacía bajo la dura servidumbre de los descendientes de Cortés se eleva… bajo el sistema federativo.' Surveys the state of the territory: public education (only Monterey/Sta Bárbara/LA have primary schools, badly funded; Hartnell's efforts); land/colonization — attacks the 'decretos coactivos de Sola y Echeandía' limiting cattle, 'abrí las puertas de la industria adjudicando los terrenos' under the 1824 colonization law & 1828 reglamento; secularization — 'de hecho se formaron tres pueblos nuevos San Dieguito, las Flores y San Juan Capistrano… la gran diferencia entre los emancipados y los neófitos… sin el aniquilamiento que se palpa en las misiones,' the 17 Aug 1833 law mandating total secularization; public works — Monterey wharf & topographic plan (Zamorano), and ⭐⭐⭐ 'El supremo gobierno tiene ordenado la fundación de un fuerte destacamento al otro lado de la Bahía de San Francisco, aproximado al de Ros [Ross]… estoy resuelto á llevarlo al cabo' (the Sonoma-founding / anti-Russian rationale). Ends with the list of Diputación commissions & their named vocales
