WISE CITY COUNCIL

The city council of Socorro has taken wise step in
3granting Max Kirchman option the lands in the
Socorro grant belonging the city of Socorro the pur
pose of Mr hrchman being to plant there colony OF
BoherlaRs., ~
These people, whose homeland is a part of the
Ausro-tungarian empire are thrifty energetic in
dustrious class of immigrants and their location in So
and the adjacent of the Socorro valley will
be of almost ncalculable value Hence the wisdom OF
the council in granting the option the land and plac
ing its price at twothirds of its last appraised value
cannot be too highly commended t
But the council wiser yet in the safeguards
which they threw around the option They did suffer
their desire for the undoubted benefit to be derived
from the location of the colony to blind them to their
duties to the city Hence, the conditions of the option
that the lands must be paid for within nine months
from the date of the councils action and that within
the first six months of that time Mr. Kirchman must
have obtained artesian water have drilled to the depth
of 1000 feet have expended in the effort thereto not
less than $1,000. the lands be purchased the
immediate vicinity. The Citizen congratulaes the Gem
City on the prospects of this great benefit.

mits that the failure of joint statehood the coming
session statehood for years for either
New Mexico or Arizona. This is precisely the point
issue for which We have Contended. If could get
gle statehood for New Mexico and Arizona easily
Joint statehood, there would be controversy; but the
fact is, the Review admits that single statehood
not attanable now, any definite time in the future
we no reason for refusing joint statehood and

MIR. ROBSON EXPLAINS.
Expert Accountant Who Examined City
 Books Generates Collector.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Referring to our report on the license collectors department Gin our recent ex- animation of the city's books) in which was shown an under collection of SIG. 800 for 1904 and 1905, we learned that the col lector was acting under instructions from the miscellaneous committee in collecting for wholesale liquor license from the Gum Drug company and Doster- North 1ngton Drug company, when he should have collected for retail license from each; and in collecting s200 for each year from the Birmingham Realty company, when the schedule was $500
 In collecting for only five lines from the Birmingham Railway. Light and Pow CT company he was acting fin accordance with an agreement made with the Board of Mayor and Aldermen several years ago, and which appears to have been not renewed by the board and recorded each year. as it should have been done.
 As the impression seems to have been produced in some quarters that the col lector had acted on his own responsibility in making these allowances l deem 1t but just to him to make this explanation.
 While he acted in good faith in these matters he made mistake in varying from the license schedule without the proper authority from the board. Yours truly GEORGE T. ROBSON.

EAST LAKE COUNCIL.
Will Meet Tuesday Night-Sprinklin
 of Tracks Will Come Up.

The East Lake City Council will meet rext Tuesday night, and hear the report of the committee appointed at the last meeting to request the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company to sprinkle the tracks on the East Lake line.
 w. J. Waldrop, chairman of that com mittee, has received several communi- cations in regard to the matter, includ- ing one from Robert Jemison, president of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, in which he said the board of directors of his company could hardly consider the inauguration of sprinkling cars advisable, for the reason Of the delay to traffic and the difficulty il. getting water enough to lay the dust. MT. Waldrop is also in receipt of let ter from Mayor George B. Ward, in which the chief executive stated that the com mittee from the City Council would take the matter up, anl that he hoped the street railway company would accede to their request.
