The new INCORPORATION ACT.
A Suggestion to The Business Men OF

Let's Advance.
To the Editor Of the New Mexican.

To the Editor Of the New Mexican.
SANTA FIX, N. M, Feb IL fifth sign,
do not fail, the legislative councils bi.
providing for very simple method of cit,
incorporation, will pass the house within
q day or two. and my object in thus ad
dressing you is to suggest to the people o.
Santa Fe the propriety, aye, the necessi
ty, OF taking advantage Of tins new Law
and Incorporating under it's limited pro.
visions. This new act affords ample op.
poriunity for US 10 make a start. 1t au-
thorizes the election only OF three trustees
and town marshal, and the trustees
may appoint town clerk. Justices
OF the peace are given jurisdiction
to enforce the town ordinances,
and a feature OF special
concern to those who have heretofore on
posed incorporation here lies in the fs..t
That the tax for municipal purposes is
limited to one half Of per cent In view
OF The many benefits that can not but ac.
crue 10 the town at larye: to every foot
OF property hereabouts, and to the good
name of santa Fs abroad, there ought
not to be citizen in ont midst but who
would be glad to pay this extremely
small increased tax, or so muci, thereof
as is necessary, for the privilege of
enjoying town government Another
good idea about this new act is that it
dues not appeal to the professional poltl
cian. There is nothing III It to enticp
this class; it is purely business
mans enterprise, 1t cohtemplates paying
no salary to officers other than the town
marshal and the city clerk, and the latter
mtist serve Tor the muni6cent sunl OF $25
per month.
VIII the business men af Santa Fe take
hold and push this matter to conclu.
sion? Can not a public meeting be held, |
say Ut the court house on March 28, |
where every citizen, even the hum lest
may have al opportunity to discuss freel, |
the merits of incorporation under this
proposed law? l would suggest the
tier ailpS bs e t.aasse!irg. and let vote
not those in attendance will pledge them
selves to 20 out among the people |
explain and work for such move. In |
tact, should majority so decide, divide |
the city into half dozen districts and
name committee of citizens to further
the interests of the enterprise by calling
upon ami securing the views of aud, if
possible, the signature OF every resident
When n msj rity Of the people will have
signed, then it is made, under this new
act, the duty Of the county board to issue
3 proclamation calling an election and the
trustees and town marshal can be chosen.
