Abstract
After five years of local administration under the presidency of the Marquis of Casablanca, none of the city's modernization projects had begun. The mayor-president refused to request loans from banks. After his resignation, a new City Council chaired by the lawyer Mariano Fernández Sánchez-Puerta, was co-opted by the Civil Directorate to execute the projects. The priorities were the sewage system and drinking water, the city's urban expansion and the construction of a ring road. The cost of the modernization was estimated at thirty-two and a half million pesetas, including the sixteen-and-a-half of the priority project for sewerage and drinking water. Both in the operation of the loan and in the award of the contract, the cheapest offer was accepted, which soon proved unfeasible. The authoritarian modernization promoted by the City Council did not achieve any of its initial objectives and was a complete failure
