Representative : Wilkerson's bill
which changes the boundaries of San.
doval County and the county seat from
the town of Sandoval to the town of Ber.
nalillo on the Santa Fe Railway,
passed both Houses this morning and
Hon. Pedro Perea, ex-delegate to Con.
gress is smiling accordingly. The
conditions of the bill were by agree
ment between all parties concerned
and it went through in a jiffy. The
change of the county seat to the pretty
little Rio Grande village is certainly
the right thing.
Council Bill No. 2, providing that
certain corporations be exempt from
paying incorporation fees and from the
provision of having their articles Of in
published, which was in
troduced by Councilman Charles e.
Miller has passed both Houses and
will no doubt receive the signature of
Governor Otero It is intended solely

sanized and Nv being organized in
cases were reservoirs, dams and ditch
systems are being constructed by the
reclamation service OF the Interior De
,artment. So far there are but two of
hese In New Mexico namely the Hon.
10 Reservoir and the so-called "Ele-
'hant Buttes"s dam system.
Councilman Greer's bill to regulate
he formation and government of cor
,orations for mining, manufacturing,
and other pursuits was in
reduced yesterday. 1t is under
TODD that Councilman Greer and his
ttorney have been busy in preparing
his bill for several months; this work
las been carefully done and that the
laws of every state have
een scanned and the provisions which |
ave stood the test of the courts have
cen incorporated in the pending
neasure. Something Of that kind was |
ecessary as the bill as introduced |
ontains one hundred and twenty |
ages Of closely typewriter matter. If
passes it will bring into New Mexi-
o tens Of thousands of dollars in in
fees where now only hun.
reds come. The bill in many respects
J very liberal and in others is strin-
ent and contains many sections that
re for the protection of stockholders
{ corporations.
Representative Cristoval Sanchez of
[ora County, has received a letter
ON J. R. Aguilar, one of the leading
ltizens of Wagon Mound and who is
the head of movement to change
le county seat from the town of Mora
, the town of Wagon Mound on the
anita Fe Railway, in which the follow.
lg plan is proposed; four committees

, be evenly distributed between the
epublican and Democratic parties are
, be appointed to canvass the coun-
:, to visit each precinct, hold mass
eetings, explain the removal of the
,unty seat and make poll Of the
oters. These committees were to
art today. If 1t is found that
majority Of the citizens favors the
,moval Of the county seat, those of
le western part of Mora County are
: petition the Legislative Assembly
pass a bill fixing the capital of
ora County at Wagon Mound. Should
le majority be found against the (
opposition, then the people Of Wagon
ound and their friends in the east. |
n part Of the county are to make {
!, effort at this session to get q bill K
r the removal Of the county seat,
Used. Also should the decision be
to Wagon Mound, the people
that town will agree to erect new q
I'd modern court house and good 9
.fe Jail at Wagon Mound without any
,pense whatsoever to the county Of
ora. This is q very fair proposition l
I'd 1t is believed that the people OF
q county will act upOn It and will
