Cristoval Sanchez moved to take up
the bill to attach Espanola precinct of
Santa Fe county to Rio Arriba county
under suspension of the rules. Mr..
Fitzpatrick denounced the bill as rank
injustice. Mr.. Vargas urged that the
rules be suspended and said he held
petitions that IL be done.
A petition which Mr.. Vargas sent to
the desk and which was dated Es-
pamela. was read. Mr.. Baca moved to
amend the motion to suspend the rules
by having the bill referred to the com
mittee on county and county lines as
many members are absent. He said
that this would give an opportunity to
all parties to be heard before a fair
and just committee. Mr.. Baca said
Santa Fe county should he given an
opportunity to be heard and the com
mittee should fix an hour for both sides
to be heard. Mr.. Baca made a strong
plea for the bill &c take its regular or
der. Mr.. Ortega raised the point that
a motion to suspend the rules cannot
be amended. The speaker ruled
against him and Cristoval Sanchez
moved to lay Mr.. Baca's motion on the
table. In explaining his vote, Mr.. Baca
made another strong plea that Santa
Fe should he heard. Mr.. Llewellyn said
the request to refer was reasonable,
hut hat he was satisfied that the house
had determined to pass the bill and he
could see no use in going against a
majority that is determined to pass II.
Eduardo Martinez said the request to
refer is reasonable and he was opposed
to rushing the bill through. Cristoval
Sanchez said the people of Espanola
were not consulted when they were
annexed to Santa Fe county. Martin
Sanchez complimented Mr.. Baca and
Mr.. Fitzpatrick for defending Santa Fe
county, but said that this is a day of
restitution and the request of the peo-
pie of Espanola should be needed. Mr.. |
Baca's amendment was tabled by IA

tinez and the speaker voting nay. The |
