be it,
Resolved, That all warrants drawn by

tation to the treasurer of the school board

date of such presentation presented and
not paid for want of funds.' And he
shall register such warrants in the order
of their presentation and they shall be
taken up and paid in the order of their
registration, together with accrued in
terest thereon. Provided further, that
such treasurer shall keep posted up in his
Office list of the warrants SO registered
by him and a notice hereunder of the
amount of funds on hand to meet the
same from time to time as such funds
may come into his hands, and such war.
rants shall cease to bear interest from the
time that there is sufficient money or

THE PENITENTIARY.
Commissioners Decline to Confirm AS
sistant Labadic-Excellent Con-
ditiOn of the Institution.

The board of penitentiary commits
sioners resumed its session at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, there being present
President H. Il. Belts, of Grant county;
Secretary N. B. Laughlin, of Santa Fe
county, and Messrs. R. A. Baca, Of Valencia
county; Thomas McQuistion, Rio Arriba;
J. L. Lopez, San Miguel; W. E. Dame, Santa
Fe. Ex-Governor Hadley, of Mora county,
was absent. The condition of the territor-
ial finances, owing to the public funds tied
up in the defunct Albuquerque National
bank, was discussed at length. 1t appears
that there are no funds with which to pay
the penitentiary bills, and resolution
was adopted providing that all, vouchers
shall bear interest at the rate of y per
cent per annum until paid, such interest
to run from the date of approval of the
account by the board.
resolution was adopted substituting
trial lot of Taos county flour for the
Colorado product-this in the interest Of
home industry.
The board confirmed Supt Bergmanf
nominations asfollows: Y.
Day cell Eeapsr, Nestor Montoya; night
cell keeper, J. Tapia; captain day-guard,
G. V. Chaplin; captain night guard, David
Jefferson; guards, j. j. Chandler, j. j.
Davis, q. Gonzales, l.. CONSTANT, R. Mu-
nez, Cosme Herrera; O. l.. Merrill, assist
ant cell keeper.
The nomination of Tranquilino Laba-
die, of Las Vegas, to be assistant super
intendent, the board declined to confirm
by vote of 5 to l, only Mr.. Baca voting
aye. 1t is understood that this was the
result of personal appeal made to mem
bers of the board by Mr.. Lopez, the San
Miguel county member, who appeared to
regard Mr.. Labadie's nomination some
what in the light of a personal and polit-
ical affront. The position of assistant
superintendent will therefore remain va
cant for the time being at least.
. The members of the board made a
thorough inspection of the buildings and
grounds and found everything in apple
pie order. The records show that it costs
but 1926 cents per day per capita to feed
the inmates at present. The cellars are
full of vegetables raised on the grounds
and SO head of hogs will be slaughtered
next month, 50 thst the running of the
penitentiary oh tvery economical scale
throughout the winter is assured.
