THIRTY.FIFTH
LEGISLATIVE
ASSEMBLY


Il practical beneht is to be gained from
/ it. Mr.. Hawkins said he should oppose
spending money for this purpose while
while the insane are kept in county
|, Ejails. He believed the money should
be spent here for the care of the I'M
fortunate rather than spend it at st
Louis.
IIr. Hughes explained that he was
orce a member of a commission to ar
range for a New Mexico exhibit at st
Louis and was secretary of that body
He said he and Judge Waldo, who was
president of the commission, had dis
cussed the matter and had decided
that it would be better to abolish the
commission and devote the money to
the care of unfortunates and to "~ the
territorial institutions in New Mexico,
so they concluded to legislate the
commission out of existence. Mr.
Hughes could not see how any exhibit
could be prepared in the time speci-
fled and with the money provided. He
thought st. Louis should do as Albu-
querque does, pay the expenses of its
own fair. The bill was passed by s
to A. Messrs. Fall, Hawkins, Hughes
and Jaramillo voting against It.
The Council refused to concur in the
| amendments to House Bill No 100, An
act relating to deeds, which killed the
J,.1 81
| ulate county institutes, ard House Bill
No. 21S, An act to authorize commits
sioners of bitches to protect bitches in
their charge from damage by flood
waters, was tabled indefinitely House
| Bill No. 203, An act relating to the TAX
| ing of depositions, was handed down
and passed.
This completed the bills recommend
ed for passage by the steering COM
mttee and Mr.. Fall moved the ap-
| pointment of a committee to notify
| the governor and the House that the
| Council was about ready to adjourn,
and Messrs. Hawkins, Andrews and
| Spiess were named as the committee.
A recess was taken to await the fe-
| port of the committee. The recess was
| broken, to receive a committee from
| the House consisting of Messrs. Tur-
ner, Bowie and Gutierrez, as a COM
| mittee from the House to notify the
Council that that body was ready to
adjourn.
Mr.. Amado Chaves moved the sus-
pension of the rules to take up and
consider House Joint Resolution No.
a, to appropriate $3.50 to pay the six
members of the regular capitol force
| $50 each extra for their labors during
| the session. Mr.. Fall protested and
said the Council had on it's pay rolls
men who were paid to do the very
work which the regular employees had
been compelled to do, but the men on
| the Council roll had not attended to
their duties. He did not believe 1T
was right. Mr. Fall then said there
were two employees of the Council who
Ehad been the most faithful in the per-
formance of their duties, who had new
er missed a session, who had WORKED
outside of session hours and Who had
| done we'll and yet, through some tan
| gle, no provision had been made for
their pay for the last 20 days and
| they would lose that money, so far as
| the territory was concerned. He de-
nounced as an outrage paying men
who are on the territorial pay roll ana
letting these two employees work 2o
| days without pay. He said that per-
sonally he intended to see that they
| did not lose all. The resolution was
adopted. Mr.. Fall rose from his seat
and walking forward quietly handed
| 10 one of the employees who was ieIt
Off the pay roll, $50 from his own poe
! ket.
There was suspicious looking af-
1 fair on the Presidents desk and Mr'
Fall rose and stated that there was
some unfinished business on the Pres-
dents desk that he would like to have
| disposed of. He called on Chief CLERK
Martin, and Mrs. Martin who was an
| interested spectator, to stand up. MI
Fall then read the following:
