THE TERRITORIAL DEPOSITORY.
meeting of the COVE rnor, auditor and
treasurer was held this morning to per
form various duties required by law. The
first was the cancellation and burning OF
the, certificates of indebtedness of the
Socorro school of mines. The board then
took up the consideration of the bond OF
100000 presented by the Albuquerque
National bank as a territorial depository
The last Legislature required from all
other banks holding territorial funds q
bond from parties owning unencumbered
real estate in the territory worth three
times the penalty of the bond. This
stringent requirement was not applied
to the Albuquerque National bank by the
legislature, but the commission felt that
at all events they should exercise great
care in the approval of any bond pre-.
scented, as otherwise the whole amount OF
territorial taxation would be jeopardlzed
In addition to this, the governor has felt
considerable delicacy as to acting in the
matter in view of the early arrival of his
successor, unless the bond was unques-
tionably sufficient and would surely
be satisfactory to Gov. Thornton under
whose administration it would be in force
The commission therefore has proceed
ed with much care, first having an inves-
tigation made of the tax returns of the
bOndsmen and afterward obtaining all
possible information as to their financial
standing. The result was that the bond
was returned to-day with request that
$4,000 of additional security be OBJ
tanned. The investigation showed sin
gular disproportion between the esti-
mated value of real estate in Albuquer-
que and the value at which it is returned
for taxation. In one case property
counted at over $4,000 in estimating the
security was returned for taxation at
only $4,000, and the surety claiming to
own over $4,000 of real estate In the
c;tv raturned lors than @1 6OO inv tava.
