GUNsUL MAKES A DEAL.
an Important Transaction
at Albuquerque.

From Albuquerque Citizen.
One of the largest deals that ever
occurred in this city was closed UP
yesterday when the A. A. Grant es-
tate through Maynard Gunsul dispos-
ed of the Albuquerque Water Supply
Company's property in Albuquerque
to a local syndicate composed of M.
w. Flournoy, A. B. McMillen, Frank
A. Hubbell, w. R. Whitney, and w.
II. CLEARWATER.
MI. Gunsul, who has Just returned
from New York City, engineered the
transaction by which the big water
system passes into the hands Of well
known and experienced Albuquerque
business men.
Mr.. Gunsul, who has successfully
handled a number of important finan-
cial deals in this section recently, has
had an option on the property of the
Water Supply Company for the past
six months, and it is largely due to
his skillful management that a salts
factory basis for the transfer was ar
ranged.
The new company takes full charge
OF h property today. all details of
the transaction having been closed.

DANGEROUS AT CARLSBAD.
Water is Rapidly Rising and in Twen-
ty-Four Hours the Bridge Will
Be Washed Away.

w. M. Reed, Of the U. S. Geological
Survey, received a long distance tele-
phone message this morning, bring
ing the news that the water situation
at Carlsbad has reached a dangerous
stage.
The Pecos river Is rising rapidly
there and is already tapping the strin-
gers on the low-water bridge that
was built across the river for use
in constructing the diversion dam. If
the rise continues at the present rate
the bridge cannot help but be wash
&c out in "a hours. To save the struc-
ture it is thought the bridge will be
removed. At Lake Mcmillan the wa
ter is rising in the big lake at the
rate of eight inches per day, which,
according to Engineer Reeds esti-
mate. means that 1000 acre feet Of
water are running in there per day.
The water situation in the lower part
of the Valley seems to be much worse
than around Roswell The surface wa
ter between here and Carlsbad has
made the difference, probably with
the assistance of increased flow from
the Penasco.

ing order as far as the per capita
payment OF taxes Ia concerned: Cha
yes, SALT; Sierra, $3.50; Mckinley.
$3.4s; Grant, 1927: Union, $2.33; Col
fax, 1925: Otero. $2.15; Dona Ana,
$2.O7; Roosevelt, s2.O3; Bernalillo.
$1.s7; Lincoln. s1.92. The counties
which fall below the Territorial av-
erage are: Quay. $1.55; Socorro s1.4o;
San Miguel, s1.37; San Juan, $1.33;
Santa Fe, $1.16; Guadalupe, Sill;
Sandoval, $1.O4; Valencia. $0.S3; Mo
ra. sO.75: Taos. $3.50. and Rio Arri-
ba, sO.54.
The astounding thing about these
figures is that a county like Santa Fe
with one-twelfth of the population OF
the Territory and it's extensive rail-
road mileage. pay only one twenty
sixth Of the taxes collected in the Ter
ritory, only one-sixth as much per
capita as does Luna county. and less
ty of Otero with no railroads 10 a
Naturally San Juan county, with nc
railroad taxation. cannot make as
good a per capita showing as counties
with many miles OF railroad and yet,
It's per capita is higher than that of
Santa Fe county. Surely, the people
OF this county cannot complain OF

local knockers warn him not to dc

the county.-AlbuQuerque Citizen.

WHO PAYS THE TAxES7

The following Is Interesting as re
CARDS the taxes collected in the diff
ferent counties of the Territory, If
the figures are anywhere near the
nth. The deductions. however. are
entirely wrong. The taxes in the Pc
COS Valley are collected by compe-
tent and faithful officials, which is
more than can be said for many 9th.
or portions of the Territory.
The New Mexican says that taking
the vote OF last November as a basis
for a population estimate. then the
per capita OF all taxes collected In
the Territory during the past fiscal
year was only s1.73, which should put
a quietus to the assertion that taxes
in New Mexico are high, especially
when II is considered that one-half
of the axe collected are paid by the
railroads and the cattlemen, leaving
the per capita taxes actually paid
only about 80 cents. Few other com
monwealths q show so low a tax
rate and those that do. derive i'm
mense revenue from Corporations, the
taxation of estates OF deceased per
sons and indirect taxation,
OF taxation which are practically clos
ed to this territory. Thirteen out of
tventy-four counties exceeded the
average per capita taxes collected du-
ring the past fiscal year. Luna county
leading with a per capita OF $685..
However. Luna county In proportion
to it's population has more taxable

ty I'm the Territory. Eddy county.
which comes next, with 1910 per cap

and can be done. A per capita rate
like that for the entire Territory
would make its revenues four times
what It Is at the present. OF in 9TH

the tax rate TO just one-fourth of
what 1t Am mt present. The other coun-
ties range themselves I'm the follow
