\ little later IN the session, when
Mr. Gallegos' bill seeking 10 appro-
pirate $4,000 out of the territorial
treasury to build bridge over the
Rio Pecos in Guadalupe county came
up an interesting discussion resulted
in connection with the Baca bill,
The Galegos bill, which is clearly
special legislation, came in on re-
port from the finance committee, rec
ommending that it be tabled.
Mr.. Gallegos, member of the
committee, brought in a minority re-
port. The discussion came upon the
motion to adopt the majority report
which Mr.. GallegOs resisted. Mr.
Holt explained that the bill was spe-
cial legislation. and contrary to the
that il the gentleman had asked for
brick bridge to be built by convict
labor at the expense of the territory,
il would have been passed without a
murmur Mr.. Holt asked if MIR. Hud-
speth doubted the seriousness of the
committee i'm making the report. Mr..
Hudspeth replied that he could see
no difference so far as special legsla-
ton was concerned. between the Gal
legOs bill and the Baca bill just
passed. Mr.. Abbott, of Colfax county,
said that he thought the counties
should build their own bridges
Mr., Mullins said that he thought
so. too. but that to be consistent,
Santa Fe county ought to pave its own
streets and fence its own iails. He
said he had voted for the Baca bill,
and to be consistent he had to vote
for the Gallegos bill. The bill was
tabled by a vote Of II to 5. House
bill No. 81, making an appropriation
for printing the rules of the supreme
court was laid upon the table upon
the recommendation of the commit
tee. that the appropriation be in
cluded in the general appropriation
bill. The house adjourned to Thurs
day afternoon at o'clock.
