The passage of the parking ordi-
nance was intended to require the
planting of +trees-where they should
be planted, outside the sidewalk lines,
and to encourage curbing and beau
tifying the borders of the streets with
grass. The ordinance is not compul-
sorry in the sense that some people
interpret it, but directory in that it
provides a plan for securing unifor-
nifty in the work of parking. which
is permitted by the City on certain
streets under definite restrictions.
You may not park. or may not plant
any trees, but if o do either or
both, you must comply with he res

king some little comparisons between
counties in New Mexico. The Travel
ing Auditor reports the counties of
Chaves. Eddy. Otero, Luna. Grant and
San Juan as the best governed oun
ties in the Territory. The Board of
Equalization reports the best tax as
sessments and collections from these
