should be left to decide this question.
Mr.. Christy further explained his views
against the measure.
Mr.. Martin, while in doubt as to the
constitutienality of the bill, voted in favor

THE SCHOOL FUND CONTROVERSY.
The Hinkle bill has been made the
special order for tomorrow morning in
the council, but the prospects are that it
will go over until Monday. The post
ponement of the bill from yesterday,
when it was to have been considered,
coupled with the suggestion that it may
not be considered until next week, is to
be explained on the ground of compro-
Hinkle bill contingents. The opponents
of the bill boldly claim that had the
measure come up on vote yesterday it
would have been defeated by vote of
to 5. They go farther and give the names
of seven councilmen, who they allege, are
certain to vote against the Hinkle bill in
it's present form. The quality of senate
rial courtesy, however, permeates the
council chamber to an extent that makes
its members unwilling to defeat unneces-
sarily any measure earnestly supported
by their colleagues. The first step to-
ward compromise was therefore embod-
led in n bill introduced yesterday by Mr..
Ancheta which provides that the county
commissioners must each year levy tax
of not less than nor more than mills
on each dollar of taxable property, the
proceeds derived therefrom to be COW
cred into the county treasury and used
for general common school purposes.
The bill further provides that this COM
pulsory levy shall not interfere with
special precinct levies for school pur-
poses now provided by law. This bill
went to the committee on education, the
same that reported the Hinkle bill ad-
versely, and there is every prospect that
it will pass the council on favorable re-
port from the committee. As this bill
does not mention the question of licenses

GRANT COUNTY EMBRoGL1o.
The new county situation developed
quite an interesting phase in the intro
duction of bill yesterday by Mr.. Christy
| ~ Ill IS mi
to fix the boundary lines of Grant
county"
This bill provides that stri two
townships or twelve miles wide on the
extreme east of Grant county and run
ming from Mexico north to Sierra county,
shall be added to Dona Ana county and
that the Mogollon country shall be
transferred from Socorro to Grant
county. 1t is argued by its author, Mr..
Christy, who is strongly opposed to the
formation of new county, that this bill
and to furnish basis upon which the
Florida county and and anti-Florida
county factions can come together. He
puts it this way: Dona Ana county
would like the bill to pass because it
gives her new piece of territory that
includes Deming; Grant county will not
obje because, while she loses Deming,
she will receive in return the Mogollon
country, which has about the same
amount of taxable property; the
| Mogollon people would be delighted
as they have long wanted to become at
tached to Grant count; the residents of
Socorro county would not object as they,
IN the main, recognize the force Of the
reasons for transfer of the Mogollon
precincts to Grant county, and finally
the Deming people ought not to object
as their transfer to Dona Ana county will
remove the rivalry now existing between
that town and Silver City. It is thus
claimed that the bill would give satisfac-
ton all around.
The Deming contingent now in the
city cay, however, that they do not see
any very great advantage to them IN the
scheme, as they would about as willingly
continue to 60 to court at Silver City 80
to 20 in the future to Las Cruces. They
say that they will be satisfied with moth
ing less than new county and that their
prospects for getting what they want i'm
prove daily. Representatives of the two
factions went down to Grant county
