Ii. B. No. IS, introduced by Mr.. Read,
to provide that sureties on the bonds of
county officers shall be freeholders of the
county, was read.
Mr.. Frampton said he had looked over
the bill very carefully and found that IN
the poorer counties it would be absolute
y impossible for the sheriff or treasurer
to furnish bond. The bill was good in
theory but very bad in practice.
Mr.. Read said he would strike out the
objectional words by striking out the
words "of the county," making it read
"freeholder of the territory of New Mex
ico," which passed.
Mr.. Bowman moved to amend so as to
make the provisions of the bill applica-
BILE to territorial as well as county Off
GERS, which was adopted.
Mr.. Hinkle asked how the county com
missloners could pass on territorial bonds
as was provided by this amended bill.
Mr.. Hinkle moved to lay the bill on the
table; Mr.. Read moved to lay that motion
on the table; both motions were with
drawn to allow Mr.. Frampton to move to
reconsider Mr.. Bowman's motion, which
was ordered and the amendment then re-
jected, leaving the bill with only Mr..
Reads amendment.
The bill then on motion of Mr.. Mon
toya passed the house as amended and the
