The interest and welfare of these barrios demand that they be. organized as. in former times into one independent municipality. These barrios are very far from the municipalities of Surigao and Placer and the only means of communication is by sea, which is often times perilous. Due to their distance from either the municipality of Surigao or Placer the said barrios ha.ve neglected and its was rare that the same were given any amount for publie works by the mother municipalities. It is for these reasons that the inhabitants of the above named barrios have always been clamoring for separation from the municipalities of Placer and Surigao and for their organiza¡tion into one independent municipality in order to be able to attend properly to their own aft'airs and interests and 'to do ali the improvements possible within their own territory. The proposed municiPa1ity·of Tagana-an has a population of four thousand peopte and counts with sufficient income :e:~in~l°p:e~:n~uf6eº1!ut:i~i;:ttl;i~!1":~0!~!i~::l b~ird~ with a plaza of one hectare in front, a concrete school building likewise with its corresponding plaza of one hectare, a muniCipal cemetery and a site near the bank of the river especially appropriate for a market, all of which are owned by the barrios of Tagana-an.
