Abstract
Este artículo pone en relación la capacidad financiera de la Hacienda de la ciudad de Alicante para satisfacer la provisión del alumbrado público, entre 1815 y 1874, y sus repercusiones sobre el proceso industrializador. El trabajo recoge las normas reguladoras de este servicio, sus modalidades de gestión y el impacto tecnológico de la industrialización. Concluye, con evidencias empíricas, que el insuficiente nivel financiero de este demandante institucional, que derivó en un elevado grado de endeudamiento, tuvo un notable grado de responsabilidad en la descapitalización de los individuos y empresas oferentes de este servicio, sobre todo de las fábricas productoras de gas y, por tanto, pudo influir en el retraso del proceso industrializador.
This article connects the financial capacity of the public finance of the city of Alicante in order to provide street lightening, between 1815 and 1874, with its repercussions on the process of industrialization. The work deals with the rules that regulate this service, forms of management and the technological impact of the industrialization. It comes to the conclusion that the insufficient financial level of this institutional consumer caused a high debt. It was responsible, to a large extent, for the loss of capital of the individuals and the enterprises offering that service, especially the gas producing factories and therefore, could have an influence in the delay of the industrialization process.
