zen. declaring the citizens the citizens
all favoring county division, be adopt
ed again and presented at Santa Fe
The resolutions are as follows:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
board and the citizens of Albuquerque
the sentiment of the citizens of the
city of Albuquerque, irrespective OF
politics, is practically unanimous in
favor of a division of the county, sub.
stantially as proposed in the bill re-
Gently introduced into the Legislature
for the creation of the county of San
doval, and that the details of such divi.
sion are not of great importance to the
people of Albuquerque.
Resolved, That it is the sentiment
of said meeting hat the business in
~terests of the city Of Albuquerque
would best be subserved by having as
small and compact a county as posi-
BILE, and to that end, the meeting ia
vors the lines of the proposed county
as contained in the original bill and
would be satisfied with even a smaller
county.
Resolved, That all that the people OF
albuquerque desire as to the appor.
tionment of the public debt between
, the two counties, is that it should be
made upon a fair aud equitable basis
and this meeting adheres to its recon
mendation concerning such apportion'
hlent, which was made at It's meeting
on Friday, February 10, 1908. to which
no objection has been made by any
one.
Resolved, That the division Of repre-
sentation in the legislature for the
, three counties of Bernalillo, Mckinley
. and Sandoval, is of minor Importance
so long as the total representation II
not diminished.
Resolved, That while the citizens o
Albuquerque would undoubtedly pre-
fer that the new county should com
into existence at an early day, yet tn
proposition that that county shall nc
{ begin until January LIST, 1905, as sc
: out in said bill pending before the Les
islature is not so Objectionable tina
