NEW COUNTY
OF PYRAMID
viii Include Most Of Railroad Prop
erty in Grant County IT Created
Its Boundaries.

Considerable interest is manifested
in the proposed creation. of Pyramid
County from the south portion of
Grant County, as provided in bill
introduced in the House by Represen-
tative Frank w. Beach, According to
the provisions of this BILL the north
boundary of the new county would be
line extending directly west to the
Arizona line from the northwest cor
ner of Luna County. The Southern
Pacific and the Ell Paso and South
western railroads through Grant
County, would be included in Pyra-
mid County. These lines under the
six-year exemption law now on the
statute books would begin paying
taxes next year and the new county
would derive considerable income
therefrom. This will cause opposition
from Grant County people who are op-
posed to losing this revenue.
LOrdsburg would be the county seat
of Pyramid County. 1t is asserted that
from some portions of Grant County,
to be included in Pyramid County. it
takes residents almost week to get
to the present county seat at Silver
City. The passage of the bill is a
matter Of considerable question.
