TEACHERS SALARIES
The Superintendent of Public In.
struction Asks for Informa-
tiOn and Gets 1t.
The following is explanatory:

The following is self-explanatory:
Hon. Amado Chayes, SUI leriutendent Public
Istruc ion:
Dear Sir: Your favor of yesterday, re-
questing my opinion as to whether a
county superintendent should approve a
warrant for teachers wages for three
months service, when no provision is or
ia likely to be made by the district to
keep the school open six months as re-
quired by section %, of the school law of
1891, has had my attention, and in reply
would say that section % of the act,
makes 1T the duty of the school board to
make an estimate for the tax levy on or
before the third Monday in July in each
year for the amount of money necessary
for teachers wages for at least six
months, and for other necessary pur-
poses, this tax levy to be voted upon
by the voters of said district. Section
81 of the same act provides for a terri
toria1 levy not exceeding 5 mills on the
dollar for the purpose, among other
things, Of paying school teachers. You
state that the directors of the school
district mentioned had contracted with
the teacher for four months of school;
that he actually taught three months and
then closed the school, for what reason is
not stated You further state that there are
no funds available by the district to pay
more than two months of the contracted
salary. Now under these circumstances
it is perfectly clear to me that such
money as the district has on hand for
that purpose should be applied to the
payment of the school teacher, the gen
eral levy of mills on the dollar made by
the auditor being for that purpose and
should be used in that direction as far as
it can go. Section % must be construed
with section 21 which precedes it, and in
some cases, in fact, in many cases, it will
not be necessary to levy the tax contem-
plated in those sections. The failure of
the former county superintendent to en-
dorse the warrant as required by section
20 would not preclude the present
superintendent from performing this
duty. The only limitation upon a
school district receiving its share of the
regular mill school levy is found in
section IS of the act which provides that
no district shall receive any portion OF
such fund unless common school has
been taught at least three months there
in, during the preceding twelve months.
which in this case appears to have been
done. Very truly,
EDWARD L. BARTLETT.
Solicitor General of New Mexico.

IMPROVEMENTS AT EDDY
A New School House, New Dams, New
Residences, Water Works and
Other New Things.
To the vditor of the New Mexican

To the Fditor of the New Mexican
EDDY, N. NJ, Jan. 8 1893.-This new town
is humming. A contract has just been
let for a new school house, to cost $12,.
900. 1t is to be built of brick, stone and
iron, two stories high, with walls 1s
inches thick, and will be the in form of a
Greek cross. It will have rooms, six OF
which will average 25 feet square; the
other two being 25x42. In addition to
these there will be an assembly room,
25x50 feet, with broad spacious halls,
easy stairways, closets, furnace room,
etc. The building will contain, in ell,
over 5000 square feet of flooring. The
heating and ventilating arrangements.
of the best and newest designs. AS swia
as the building is completed school Of
eight grades will be opened, under the
supervision of one of the best educators
in the United States.
The Hagerman dam and water power
plant are progressing as rapidly as men
and money can push them. The reser-
voir, on the hill, which is to hold 1.5OO,-
600 gallons of water, is nearly finished.
The turbine wheels, centrifugal force
pumps, and other machinery are being
made in Springfield, Ohio. A main will
be laid from the reservoir into town and
fire plugs put in. With fall of 20 feet,
there will be sufficient pressure to throw
water on the roofs of the highest build
ings.
Seventy-f five men and fifty teams are at
work on the new reservoir, at Seven
Rivers. An immense amount of work has
already been done and great deal res
mains to be done in order to store the
4,OO0,OO0,OOO cubic feet of water which it
Is designed to hold. This work will cost
when finished. $1S0,0O0. >
| The Hondo reservoir, designed to store
2.0O0,000,000 cubic feet of water, and to
cost $4,000, is also being pushed and
will be finished early next spring.
Mr.. Hagerman's $4,000 residence, at
Eddy, is completed and will soon be oc-
cupied. Men are now at work planting
on the adjacent grounds 30 acres of fruit
trees, an6 so acres of grape vines. The
alfalfa planted in October, $50 acres, is
growing finely.
An electric street railway and lighting
plant are projected and it is believed
that the contracts will be closed during
the present month. An ice factory, a
beet sugar factory and several other i'm
portant industries are in prospect for the
near future.
Several residences, costing $4,000 to
$4,000 each, with many cheaper, ones,
are under way, and more are being
planned.
Our court house, recently completed, at
a cost of $4,000, would do honor to any
city of $4,000 people.
We have lately voted to incorporate and
are soon to elect city officers. y ~
Eddy is here to stay and will have 10, ,oOC
people within three years. ....s ~, .,s,-

SILVER ON WALL STREET.
"A Radical Change Of Sentiment
Touched Bottom, and Better
Times Looked For.

New YORK, Jan. 13.-In the course of a
complete review of Wall street affairs,
Watson & Gibson, leading brokers, pub
lish the following of special interest to
the west:
We are friends of silver, and we believe
that it has reached and passed it maxi
mum of production, and that the year
1898 will witness a marked rise in the
price of the metal, due to natural causes.
It must not be forgotten that the con-
sumption of silver in the arts has been
promoted by the low price of the white
metal, and our people are educated to an
enormous use of plated and sterling
wares. People of moderate means living
in country towns, as well as the cities,
buy silver table ware, toilet and table
articles, umbrella handles, ETC., in way
absolutely unknown twenty years ago.
Now, with mines shutting down, with but
few new ones in readiness to open, with
prospectors discouraged from looking for
new mines, with the impossibility of pro-
curing capital to buy silver mines, with
such old dividend payers as the Ontario
mine worked out, and with the small
visible supply of the metal, what is there,
except repeal of the Sherman act, or
the adoption of gold standard in India,
to put silver down, or to prevent it from
going up?
One year ago the visible supply in this
city in the shape of certificates was 3,sO1,-
936 ounces. Now there are only 100000
ounces. The price year ago was IS
cents, now it is about SO cents. Silver
mines do not reproduce themselves, and
there is no more reason to suppose that
silver is inexhaustible than that the gold
mines Of California and Australia were in
exhaustible. We 10 not expect any
change in the standard by India or the
repeal of our silver purchase act of 1890,
and if silver shows tendency to advance
there will be good reason for not med
ding with India's standard, and more
convincing ones for substituting free
silver coinage for our present laws.
Those who talk so glibly about re-
repeal of the Sherman act at this session
forgot that this involves revolutionary
change in congressional opinion, for did
not the senate on July /, last, vote for
free coinage? With only nine weeks OF
session, have we any reason to believe
that congress will throw silver overheard
and stop currency imitation to meet the
expanding trade and the increasing popu'
lation of this country?

Tam I'M many Very Alert.

New YoRK, Jan. 13.-Beginning tonight
with great meeting of Tammany's new
committees the coming weeks promise to
be most important ones in New York
politics. To-day Tammany organizes for
its next fight and on Thursday next the
Republican county committee will follow
it's example. 1t is admitted that the Re-
publican machine is in about as bad con-
dition as it could possibly well be in, on
account of incompetent management and
internal differences; and it is expected
that there will be a lively fight at the
meeting of the committee over the chair
manship of the executive committee. At
one time there was considerable opposi
tion to the reelection of ex Judge Jacob
M. Patterson, but that opposition has
dwindled to such an extent that there is
little doubt of Patterson's reelection.

WORTH SEEING.

The presentation of Edgewood Folks at
Gray's hall last night was treat. The
characters were all well taken and the
make-ups good. Mr.. Alba Haywood, of
course, took the leading ROLL and in his
numerous disguises and presentations
kept the audience between a giggle and a
roar of laughter. Mr.. Haywood is a good
actor, but as character impersonator he
is one of very superior brilliancy.
The same company will appear again
tonight and should be literally patron
lied.
