The Council again referred to the
Light Committee the matter of re-
questing the railroad company to put
up two arc lights over its road-one
at Fifth street and one at Second
street 1t was the sense of the Coun-
Gil that it was absolutely necessary
for the railroad to light these two
crossings which now at night are
most dangerous to public safety.
The report of the City Physician
showed there were ten deaths during
the month of August.
The Mayor had in his possession
the resignation of R. NJ. Parsons
which had been sent him while Mr.
Parsons was away. The Mayor accep
ted the resignation. At the same time
there was presented to the Council
last evening a petition from the mem
bers of the fire department eulogiz-
ing Mr.. Parsons in the highest terms
and asking that he be continued as
Chief of the Department as it's mem
bers believed he was the only man
that could be appointed who would
serve the Department in such an ac-
ceptable manner. The petition was
laid over until another meeting.
The regular bills were allowed.
The matter of street crossings was
taken up. The engineer reported that
an SO-foot solid cement crossing
costs $6720: a block stone crossing
cost $4,000; a native stone crossing
$4,000; a wood crossing $21.85. 1t was
rhe opinion of the Council that the
several test crossings had not been
down long enough to give them suf-
ficient trial, but the members were

crossings would be the most suitable
for the alleys, and these crossings
were ordered in all alleys where the
cement walks had been completed.
The Street Committee was notified
to proceed at once and build all ce-
ment walks where the owners had
not done so. and the necessary time
had elapsed since the notification.
In these cases the city will proceed
to build the walk and assess the cost
the property.
DR.. Kinsinger. the chairman of the
Sanitary Committee, stated that the
members of the Committee could
not search out nuisances, but they
would gladly abate any nuisances
that might be reported to them.
After the transaction of some min
or business the Council adjourned.

ry asked that he be allowed to put

nishing light, heat and power to

He holds himself responsible for all
damage that may arise in laying his
pipes, guarantees that the maximum
cash rate for gas rate for gas shal
not be more than $1.25 a thousand
and to show that he means business
Mr.. Jones will deposit thousand dol
lars with the City Clerk that work
on the plant will begin within ninety
days and be completed within eight
months.
The Council passed the franchise
by a unanimous vote. The city has
everything to gain in this and moth
ing to lose, as it binds itself to moth
ing but to accept Mr.. Jones. thousand
dollars as a guarantee of his good
faith. Gas means cheap fuel for Ros-

furnish heat at the coal rate OF $500

as good along this line as new rail-

added. "If reports are true, and the
Police Judge continues in the habit
of fining and then remitting all the
fines except costs, the city will have
very little money from this source.
Later in the evening City Attorney
Patton Informed the Council that the
fines collected are not paying the

The Board to hear the Hondo pro-
test, consisting of Engineers A. P.
Davis, w. H. Sanders and B. NJ. Hall,
met yesterday afternoon to hear the
protest lodged by the Carlsbad peo-
pie against the building of the Hon
10 reservoir Freeman & Cameron
represented the protestants. and the
Rio Hondo Water Users Association
vas represented by Mr.. w. c. Reid
If Richardson, Reid & Hervey.
Attorney Freeman read a statement
prepared by F. G. Tracy and his at
torneys, Mr.. Tracy being the Presi-
lent of the Pecos Irrigation and I'm
I'd on the claim that when Mr.. J. J.
Hagerman purchased the northern ca
nal, the lands belonging to it and
the waters Hereunder he purchased
only the waters already appropriated
belonging to the protestants, the P.
/. & l. Co.
Attorney Reid suggested that the
,egal side of the case be prepared
by brief and signed by the parties
to the two sides and handed in and
that the inquiry be confined to the
engineering side of the case. The
Board favored this idea, but Mr. Free
man did not agree, he desiring to
file the documents with the Commits
sion as they came up. He would.
however, have a brief prepared and
torney Reid said he desired to place
that matter on some stable ground
and not have the inquiry shifted ar

it was the Judgment of the Board
that some definite paper be submit

Board adjourned until $3.50 this NOR
ming.
The Commission met at the appoin
ted time this morning. The first thing
statement of each side of the case.
The Board decided that such should
oe prepared.
F. G. Tracy, president of the P. |.
& |. Co. was the first man before the
Commission. He told of his connec-
ion with the various irrigation en-
terprises in the Valley. His testimony
was much of it of technical nature
regarding the transfer of the proper
one to the other, the amount of wa
ter in the various canals of the COM
panies and the source from which
this water was derived. In his testi-
mony Mr. Tracy explained the amount
of land to which his company furn-
ished water, the amount OF land to
which they desired to furnish water,
it developing that his company claim
ed water for $4,000 acres of land but
had never yet furnished water to
land to exceed 1900 acres. His testi-
mony dealt with what his company is
ioing at the present time and what
it is preparing to do.
Some interest was created by the
attempt of Mr. Tracy to eliminate
w. M. Reed from the inquiry. but
the Board decided that Mr.. Reed was
entitled to take part in the discus
sion as he was an engineer in the
employ of the government. In reply
to questions from Mr. Reed. Mr.. ira
cy was unable to give the rainfall

extent of the watershed, runoff, ETC.,
of the Hondo and Penasco rivers.
In reply to questions from the
| Board. Mr.. Tracy gave statement
| of the number of the days in each
year since and including 1894 in
| which water ran over the spillways
of the two reservoirs of the p. |. & l..
| Co. Mr. Tracy here stated that his
| company claimed not only the water
| that they were using but also the
| water that they had shown an inten-
tion to use In other words he claims
| water for "a 900 acres of land, while
| they have never used water for more
| than $4,000 acres at any one time.
Mr.. Tracy's testimony lasted about
| three hours. R. c. Benson of Carls-
bad was then called to the stand,
and stated that he was a farmer near
Carlsbad using water from Mr.. Ira
cy's company. He had not been able
to get enough water during the last
year. His best water came from the
Hondo river. The shortage of water
was due to the fact that the water
was not in the Pecos river
Mr.. Benson would be satisfied to
get thirty inches of water per acre
A w. Witt of Florence followed
Mr.. Benson to the stand and testified
in regard to the shortage of water
in the Carlsbad district. The natural
flow of the Pecos river was not suf-
licient for the needs of the farmers.
They depended on the flood waters
to a great extent.
Mr.. Wits testimony was directed
to show that the farmers under the
canals and reservoirs of the protestant
company could not get enough water
from the natural flow of the rivers
but must depend on the collection of
the fiod waters.
The testimony of the persons on
the stand up to this point was inUen-
ded to show that the waters of the
Hondo, constant and flood were nee
essary to the farmers under the ca
nails of the P. |. & I. Co.
The Commission then adjourned
the inquiry until 1:30 this afternoon.
