Los Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos expresaron ya hace algunos años su vivo deseo de tener, a
semejanza de los Cuerpos similares,
Figura 13. Placa de la Orden Circular del patronazgo
Civiles y Militares, un Patrón de los Servicios de Obras Públicas, que pudiera
ser Santo Domingo de la Calzada, varón
pío y activo que dedicó gran parte de su
vida a facilitar, mediante la construcción
de caminos y puentes, la comunicación
de la tumba del Apóstol Santiago con
apartadas regiones de nuestro territorio.
Las circunstancias adversas, que
para el logro de tal propósito han imperado en los últimos tiempos, impidieron
la realización de tan justo designo, habiéndose tenido que limitar a la constitución, en 1932, de una Cofradía de
Santo Domingo de la Calzada de carácter exclusivamente confesional, y que
ha venido celebrando anualmente el 12
de mayo de cada año cultos religiosos
en diferentes puntos de España y pracWLFDQGR DOJXQDV REUDV EHQpÀFDV SDUD
auxilio de las familias de los compañeros fallecidos.
Liberada España por la Gloriosa
Cruzada Nacional y garantizada la expresión de nobles ideas y sus conse-
cuencias prácticas, ha llegado el momento de satisfacer aquellos deseos.
Y a tal efecto, este Ministerio se ha
servido disponer lo siguiente:
1º Se declara a Santo Domingo de la
&DO]DGD3DWURQRRÀFLDOGHORV&XHUpos que integran los diferentes Servicios de Obras Públicas.
2º El día que se conmemora el Santo,
12 de mayo, será festivo para los
Cuerpos Facultativo, Técnico-Administrativo y Auxiliares dependientes
de este Ministerio.
Lo digo a V. I. para su conocimiento
y efectos.
Dios guarde a V. I. muchos años.
