FORT MARCY AGAIN.
A Supplemental Letter from the Gov.
ernor to Sec. Smith Respect
Ing the Title.

The following letter touching a sub ec,
of deep concern to the people of Santa
Fe explains itself.
Hon. Secretary of the Interior Washington
ID. C.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, July II, '95.-Sir: A
few days ago, | wrote you with reference
to the status of the Fort Marcy reserva
ton and the title thereto. Since then,
notice through the press that you have
called upon the secretary of war for in.
formation with regard to the title under
which the government held Fort Marcy
and the status of the custodian in charge
have the honor to inform you that
since my last letter have made an ex.
animation of the title and find that this
property was, prior to the American oc.
cupation, given by The Mexican govern
ment to the city of Santa Fe, and was a
portion of the commons belonging to the
city at the time of its occupation by the
American army; at that time most of il
was unoccupied and used as commons
ordinarily were used in Mexican com.
munities. Shortly after the occupation
the United States government took pos
session of such portion of the city com.
mons as it needed for military and civic
purposes, and has continued to use and
occupy the same ever since.
So faras the records here are concerned,
I fail to find any transfer of title from
the city to the government, so that l am
confirmed in my belief that the title to
this property remains to-day in the city
of Santa Fe, which would have perfectly
legal title to this property except that by
the decree of confirmation of the Santa
Fe grant, made a few months ago in the
court of private land claims, the court
excepted from the confirmation such por.
tion of the grant as was occupied by the
United States. This was an arbitrary
exception made in accordance with the
provisions of the act creating the court
which excepted, without regard to the
rights of the grantees, all portions of any
grants disposed of by the government.
The city is compelled to accept this
decree and to lose this property unles;
the government is generous enough to
recognize the equitable claim of the
city.
| In behalf of the citizens of this city,
respectfully submit the following: Tha'
ia view of the fact that those lands were
originally the property of the city O.
Santa Fe, and that they were taken by
the United States government for {
specific purpose without remuneration
and that the government has continued
to use the same without charge as long al
it needed 1T, that when the government
has no further use for this property, fol
the purposes for which it was taken, as 6
matter of justice and equity, it should b'
returned to the owner from whom it wal
arbitrarily taken.
further suggest that by reason of thu
government having occupied the land
without rent for some forty-five years
! justice would demand that the improve
ments thereon be given to the city o
Santa Fe as consideration for thei
! use.
Hoping that your department ma.
look upoc this matter as we do, re
main. Yours very respectfully,
| (SigneD w. Il. THORNTON,
Governor of New Mexico

emit use. This spur will be 1000 feet in

The city poll-tax for school purposes
must be paid by every able bodied man
over the age of2l years. The school board
has generously extended the legal time
for payment to August l, but after that
date collection will be enforced. It is
singular how many people protesting to
be good citizens and DESTROYS, as they
allege, of seeing the schools prosper, re-
sort to all sorts of excuses to evade the
payment of the ST. annually which
this law calls for. There are 1900 names
of such tax payers on the city lists, and
up to date but 100 citizens have paid
their dollar.
