DRAGO VLAHOVIĆ, THE ESTATE OWNER FROM SENJ

Mira KOLAR

Sažetak

On the example of family Vlahović from Senj, specially Drago Vlahović, the (woman) author of this article wants to emphasize that for the research-work of characteristics known from the economic and political life of a single person is rather important to know the history of his whole family. It is, perhaps, the only way for better elucidating and explaining the activities of such distinguished persons. Drago Vlahović, respectable salesman and good organizer from Senj, incorporated in the beginning of this century all the available material and spiritual forces to prevent the failure of Senj and its economy. He was the Mayor of the city until 1924, then the member of the Croatian Parliament, representing Senj, and also the member and last president of the Chamber of Commerce and Crafts trying to save his beloved city and the whole Croatian Coast region. As a member of Croatian Parliament, he was remarkable for his brilliantly prepared speeches. He was also trying to do his best as regards the problem of railways and highways through Lika. He coped also with the problem of raising funds for the survival of Senj, as a president of Chamber of Commerce and Crafts he exerted great efforts to prevent the impoverishing of Senj and was therefore fighting against the Hungarian economic politics towards the city of Senj.
