NO SPRING TERM AT AZTEC.
The Court Fund and Amount Of Court Business Justify
f1nIv One Term year

Judge McFie has decided to hold nc
spring term of court in San Juan coun-
ty because of the ten civil cases on
the docket, only five would possibly
be jury cases and the others can be
tried during recess. All the prisoners
have escaped from the county Jail at
Aztec and only one has been returned
to Jail. Judge McFie says further in his
letter announcing that no term of court
will be held this spring: "It seems that
nor the business of your county justi-
fies the holding of more than one term
year. We have had some difficulty in
securing the attendance of jurors and
witnesses for the spring term of your
court, for the reason that the month of
April seems to be busy month with
your farmers and quite an inconven-
ience for them to attend court at the
time the spring term meets. I am of
the opinion that a fall term would be
much more convenient for your people
than spring term, and in my opinion
they would prefer it. If so, the change
from a spring to fall term may as
well be made at one time as another,
and when made it will be permanent
change until the court fund and busi-
ness of your county requires the hold
ing of two regular terms a year. feel
satisfied that the change from a spring
to a fall term will be approved by
large majority of the people of your
county when the reasons for 1t are full
ly understood, and while would real
ly prefer two terms a year rather than
one, because it has been pleasure to
myself and the other court officials to
visit your prosperous and progressive
county, feel that 1t would be improper
to attempt to hold two terms under ex-
sting circumstances, therefore, believ-
ing that a fall term Is better for you
than a spring term, and the change
should be made at some time, it may
Just as we'll be made at the present as
any other time"
