COUNCIL.


Hyland, of Kingston, was sworn in as
clerk and Jimmie Wilmington, of Los
Lunas, as page.
/ Mr.. Hubbell, of Bernalillo, called up
| joint resolution No 8 fixing salaries of
employees, which was read a first time in
! full. On motion of Mr.. Hubbell the rules
we're suspended and the resolution read
the second time.
Mr.. Fall moved to amend the resolution
by striking out the So extra compensa-
ton for the chief clerk, and the 81 for
the sergeant-at-arms, and quoted from
the revised statutes to show that terrific
res were absolutely prohibited from in
creasing the salaries of any United States
employees.
| Mr.. Falls motion gave rise to very
spirited debate in which party lines were
broken. Mr.. Sanchez made an eloquent
protest against its passage and was ably
assisted by Mr.. Burns, of Rio Arrlba,
while Mr. Martinez urged its passage,
saying that the chief clerk was the brains
of the clerical force and was well desery-
ing of this little extra compensation.
The discussion was also participated in
prominently by Messrs. Saint, Veeder and
Hubbell.
On a viva voce vote this amendment
was adopted; but Mr.. Hubbell moved to
reconsider, and Mr.. Fall moved to table
that motion. The latter was lost; and the
question required on the motion to re-
consider. On a yea and nay vote the
motion was carried.
Mr.. Fall then moved to re-refer the
resolution to the conference committee
This was defeated, and under suspension
of the rules the resolution was adopted by
a vote of 7 to 5. Messrs. Martinez and
Valverde voted for the resolution, and
Messrs Burns and Sanchez against it.
At this point a message was received
from the house stating that the house had
concurred in the joint resolution just
passed; and also that it had passed sub.
stitute for II. B. Nos. 1, 2, 5 and 10, relat
ing to the poll tax law, and asked con
currence therein.
Mr.. Hubbell moved that the rules be
suspended and that the bill reported by
the conference committee and passed by
the house in lieu of the bills above men
toned be substituted for G. B. No. 6
This motion prevailed, and the bill under
suspension Of the rules was read first
time in full and a second time by title.
Mr.. Fall then offered an amendment to
section 3, striking out the words THAT
all laws or parts of laws in conflict with
this act are repealed" which was unaui-
mously carried.
Upon motion of Mr.. Hubbell the bill
then passed to its third reading; and on
motion of the same gentleman, the bill
with the amendment passed the council
and was sent to the house for its consid-
Grafton and concurrence in the passage
of the amended bill.
On motion of Mr.. Hubbell the council
