During Mirelis's mayoral administration, on 25 September 1880, a fire took place destroying most of the older civil records (births, baptisms, marriages, etc.) of the Ponce parish.[7] Also, on 17 June 1880, the trainway from Ponce to La Playa was inaugurated, with service to the public starting the following 23 October 1880, both under the administration of mayor Mirelis.[8]
