tory:
TERRITORY OF New Mexico,
Office of Solicitor General, I
Santa Fe, March 80, 1898.
Hon. Placido Sandoval, Superintendent Pub
lie Instruction.
Dear Slr:-Your favor of the 29th, en-
closing letter from a principal of
schools, requesting an opinion in q
case where the old board Of school di-
rectors went out of Office without COM
plying with the Bateman law, in regard
to Issuing bonds to pay off several hum
dred dollars of old school warrants then
outstanding, and asking whether these
old warrants should be paid out OF this
years funds, or whether this years
funds could be applied in paying this
years warrants, has had my attention,
and In reply would say:
Chapter AZ, laws of 1897, commonly
known as the Bateman Law, was in
tended to convert all outstanding war
rants and other evidences Of debt Of
school districts, into bonds, provision
for the payment of which was made In
the act; such bonds to be issued on the
first Monday in August, 1897, and to
bear interest at the rate of 6per cent
per annum.
If, by the neglect and failure of the
board to give the proper notice and is
sue these bonds, the holders Of the war
rants should not suffer thereby. But
these warrants should be treated as
bonds and the new board should issue
bonds in lieu thereof as Of date the first
Monday in August, 1897. Until that Is
done these old warrants should be treat
ed the same as bonds and a proper levy
made for their payment. School funds
arising in the current year cannot be
used for the payment OF any Of this old
Indebtedness. Very truly yours,
EDWARD L. BARTLETT,
Solicitor General of New Mexico

The MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Progress of the Contest Up to Hour of Going
to Press-Results So Far As Known
Peace and Harmony Prevailed.

AS the NEW MEXICAN goes to press
the annual municipal election is draw
ing to a close. Although the contest be-
tween the candidates on the Republican
and the Citizens ticket has been
exceptionally spirited, and both sides
have clearly felt confident of sue
cess from the beginning Of the
conflict for purely local honors,
the New MEXICAN is proud to record the
fact that nothing has occurred to dis
credit Santa Fe. Some few incidents
have happened that were %displeasing to
the better element OF both sides, but. as
a rule, the election has so far passed off
without any serious disturbance OF any
kind, and, whatever the results may be,
they will be cheerfully accepted during
the ensuing year of grace.
The results al far as known at 3
o'clock this afternoon are as follows:
First ward-Total registration, 313;
total vote cast, 191.
Second ward-Total registration, 1855;
total vote cast, 229.
Third ward-Total registration, 300;
total vote cast, 191.
Fourth ward-Total registration, 2ss;
total vote cast, 1872.
In view of such a showing of facts,
and the absolute impossibility of even
guessing how many of the missing vot-
ers will exercise the righto of suffrage be-
fore the polls close, it would be worse
than idle at this hour to undertake to
forecast the result with anything like
certainty.
At the same time, the New MEXICAN
reaches the conclusion, from all the in
formation at it's command, that most of
the candidates on the Republican ticket
are assured of election.

OI'puDllc instruction, Ine SOilc-
itor general has rendered the following
opinion:
OFFICE OF SOLICITOR GENERAL
OF NEW MEXICO,
Santa Fe, March 30, 1898.
Hon. Placido% Sandoval, Superintendent Pub
lie Instruction, Santa Fe.
Dear Sir: Your favor, enclosing letter
from a superintendent Of schools inquir-
ing whether a county treasurer has the
right to pay school warrants without the
approval of the county superintendent,
is received; and in reply, would say that
the question is indefinite, in that, it does
not state for what purposes such school
| warrants were drawn. Under section
ls2, chapter rs, laws Of 1891, the school
directors have a right to draw warrants,
and the treasurer can pay them for all
contingent expenses, incurred in keep
| ing up the schools, such as fuel, furni-
ture, books and stationery. But, for the
| payment of teachers, the warrants must
be Endorsed by the county superintend-
ent before they can properly be paid by
the treasurer, and this class of warrants
is the only one over which the county
superintendent has any supervision.
Should the county treasurer pay this
class of warrant without the indorse-
ment of the superintendent, he will be
liable civtlly upon his bond, and may be
removed from office. under q proper pro-
ceeding therefor, Very respectfully,
EDWARD L. BARTLETT, =
Solicitor General of New Mexico.
