Albuquerque evening citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1907-03-14

Mr.. Hudspeth wanted to take up
joint house resolution No. IA, which
provides for a further investigation
of territorial land sales by the special
house committee appointed to inves-
tigate the governors connection with
the transfer of lands to the Pennsyl-
vania Development company. His mo-
ton was tabled on motion of Holt.
The joint special committee, of
which Beach is chairman, reported
the new election law. This is one of
the largest bills yet presented in the
house, containing III sections, and
will be made the special order for
next Monday at 10 o'clock.
On motion of Holt, the vote by
which house bill No. %, to approp-
riate $3.50 for printing the rules of
the supreme court, was tabled indefi-
nitely, was reconsidered. The house
then passed the bill after the approp-
Ration had been reduced to 500 "
who stated that that was all that was
necessary.
House bill No. 100, an act to re-
peal chapter II of the acts of the
36th legislative assembly, relative to
artesian wells, passed the house. Mr..
Mullins, who introduced this bill ,ex-
planned that the Pecos valley people
were very desirious of saving the wa
ter from the artesian wells and that
j. j. Hagerman had been allowing
wells to flow into his Great Northern
canal, which carried the water a dis
tance of about twenty-five miles,
where 1t was run through bitches,
and water rights on them were sold,
and this was very damaging to the
artesian belt and this law was drafted
to prevent any such action. The bill
passed.
Mr.. Holt moved that the rules be
suspended to reconsider the motion
by which house bill No. 100, known
as the logging bill, which provides
for the use of streams for logging
purposes, was tabled. The motion
prevailed and the bill was referred to
the committee on judiciary.
House bill No 81, which provides
for the creation of Foraker county,
will be made the special order of
business for Friday afternoon of this
week.
Hudspeth wanted council bill No.
a. relative to the Hawkins law, taken
up and made a motion to the effect
that the committee on judiciary, hav-
ing the bill in charge, be instructed to
report the same at once. Mr.. Holt
objected, saying that the committee
had prepared a substitute bill and
that he had had an agreement with
Mr.. Hudspeth not to oppose that sub
stitute. Mr.. Hudspeth challenged the
statement and Mr.. Holt replied i'm n
sCathing statement of the conversa-
ton, to which Mr.. Hudspeth did not
reply. Holt said that he understood
distinctly that Hudspeth had agreed
not to oppose the substitute and had
agreed to have 1t reported in regular
order. Hudspeth's motion to take the
bill from the committee was lost.
Council bill No. SO, an act to amend
section 10, chapter 4, laws of 1905,
relative to the Incorporation of Silver
City, passed the house.
House bill No. 17S, to abolish the
office of public printer and for other
