since jacksonville first experimental

been since laid here on streets, and
there is probably no substitute to be
found for them.
We tried cypress blocks. then grav-

satisfactory, and all (but shell for out
lying roads, have been discarded AID
brick succeeded them. Other cities
have tried one kind and another ma

have been abandoned. Pensacola and
Ocala are the latest to adopt the brick,
and from our long residence in Jack

other less valuable paving materials.

suitable as brick. They can be re-

Very sincerely yours,
ALBERT B. FALL,
Attorney General" !"

Attorney General.
Accepted Office at Personal Sacrifice.
The reason for this step on the part
of Judge Fall was based on the fact
that. after holding the office for three
months he found 1t impossible to re-
main in Office any longer on account
OF the greatly increasing pressure up
on his time and strength, by his con-
stantly growing legal practice, and
his very extensive private mining and
business interests. AS counsel and
attorney for the varied and very large
mining, railroad and business inter-
ests of Colonel w, G. Greene it was
demonstrated that most of his time
would have to be spent in Ell Paso,
on the various and important mining
and landed properties of Colonel
Green in Mexico and in New York.
This would prevent Judge Fall in
spending the necessary time to give
proper and prompt attention to New
Mexico legal affairs in the Capital OF
the Territory and would also prevent
him from taking up his residence
here. His legal residence is at Three
Rivers, Otero county. Considering
these circumstances he reluctantly
took the step of resignation. He did
not care for the office on account OF
it's emoluments but assumed 1t in the
first place at the special and earnest
request of Governor Curry who de-
sired especially for the first few
months of his administration to Sc
cure legal counsel from lawyer OF
high standing, Of great ability, and
who specially had extended expert
ence in New Mexico legal administra-
tive and court affairs.
Appointment Of Mr. Hervey.
Governor Curry this forenoon ap-
pointed James M. Hervey Of Roswell,
to be attorney general of the terri
tory vice Judge Fall, resigned. The
appointment viii be hailed with great
satisfaction and genuine approval all
over New Mexico. Mr.. Hervey Is one
of the younger members of the bar
who was admitted to practice about
ten years ago and since that time has
practiced his profession very success
fully in the city of Roswell. He has
served as territorial district attorney
of the Fifth judicial district from its
creation for nearly four years and
gave eminent satisfaction in every di.
rection in the position He resigned
a few months ago on account OF Ill
health which threatened at that time
to incapacitate him from active work
for year or longer. Since then,
however, he has so rapidly improved
and has so fully recovered strength
and health that he is fully able today
to perform the duties OF the office
for which he has been appointed. He
is a self made man in every sense OF
the word and deserves the highest
credit for his intellectual power, and
for the strength of character and OF
mind that enabled him to obtain a
first class legal education and to rise
from the condition Of poor and
struggling young lawyer to the high
office to which he was today appoint
ed by Governor Curry
