The city fathers among other things
lone at a very busy meeting Monday
night, passed ordinance SG5, authoriz-
ing an election to be held in the city
Of Albuquerque on the third Tuesday
i'm Auri. 1907, on the proposition
Of issuing $50, 600 worth of bonds for
the purpose of erecting a city building
for Albuquerque. This is the bon is
sue which fell through with because
at the election a year ago the neees-
eary two-thirds of all the qualified
voters in the city was not obtained.
The bond issue carried handsomely
however. A bin introduced in con-
grcss TO validate this election has evil
IDENTIFY gone to sleep so the city is
therefore preparing to hold another
special election which win 40 the job
mp right.
1t is said Harris & Co. have written
several times to the city officers eX-
pressing their entire willingness TO
handle the $500 O0 worth of Az per
cent bonds, and as soon as the cleo
lion takes place there win be the i'm
mediate prospect Of the actual begin
ming of real preparations for the con-
struction Of a city building, 50 long
ana so painfully needed by the city
Of Albuquerque.

time to come. The engineer "a it
as his opinion that this is pos

another lateral in the west side
Of the city. In his report submitted

part Of the own is now being pros-
pected by him to find the most econ

Ii was the general sentiment of the
council that the matter of paving the
streets SHOULD receive immediate at
tention. In this connection 1t trans
pired that Chairman Hanlev Of the
street committee, has i'm his possession
complete statistics as to the material
and cost of the street paving now in
progress in e. Paso. They are using
bithulitic or asphalt material in that
city. The matter was discussed at
some length and quick action on
paved streets is expected.
The report of the city engineer also
showed that in February line and
grade were given for G64 linear feet
of six-foot and 800 feet Of scvcn-foot
cement sidewalks.
