twenty long years Wrangling and de-

congressional record. The mayor and
c1uncilmen are being overwhelmed
with congratulations by grateful citi-
zcns. and the aldermen have probably
done more to ~immortalize themselves
than any similar body of men in the
history Of the city. The epoch-mark-
ing action came almost like a bolt
from The blue and after a scant
hours discussion. The following re-
solution was adopted with only one
dissenting voice:
Whereas, it has been decided BY the
supreme court Of New Mexico That
what is commonly known as the CITY

Sance: and il is apparent that it can
not otherwise be maintained. and
