New Counties But
Tie Vote Re
suited.

Santa re. y. NJ. req. I.-Botn
bodies of the legislature met this aft
ernoon and transacted considerable
business. They were still in session
at $3.50 with the prospect that they
would not adjourn until evening and
that much business would be trans
acted before they quit for the day.
The Council session today was de-
void of interest Six petitions and
two bills were introduced. Council
joint resolution providing for the
printing for both Houses was adopted
after considerable discussion.
In the House, Representative
Brown precipitated a lively fight by
Ietaliating for a resolution adopted
by the Council, which requires a two
thirds vote to consider bills looking
toward the creation of new counties.
He introduced House resolution No.
,, providing for a two-thirds vote to
take up for consideration an appro-
priation bill.
Upon motion to suspend the rules
for the third reading of the resolu-
tion, the motion was lost by a tie
vote, IL to II, Stackhouse and Bush
kovitz being absent. The resolution
was thereunon deferred.
Two petitions and a number Of new
bills were introduced in the House
and it was stated that several more
bills would find their way to the
clerks desk before the day ended.
The House will take up either to-
day or tomorrow the Hanley bill, re-
imbursing citizens of Albuquerque for
the Armory contributions. This bill
was passed by the Council and will
probably pass the House without OPP
position. The text of the bill fol-
lows:
Whereas Under an act of the thir-
ty-fifth legislative assembly of the
territory of New Mexico, providing for
the construction of armories in the
cities of Las Vegas and Albuquerque,
and authorizing an issue of coupon
bonds of the territory of New Mexico
to the amount of fifteen thousand
$4,000 dollars for said purpose; and,
Whereas, There was expended in
the construction Of the armory at Al
buquerque the sum of twenty thous-
and and three 1900 dollars. OF this
amount the territory through the
treasurer thereof paid to the armory
board at Albuquerque the sum of
seven thousand five hundred and l3-
100 dollars; and,
Whereas, Twelve thousand five
hundred $12,500 dollars together with
interest thereon at the rate of s per
cent per annum from July 1st, 1908,
tin paid, was borrowed from the sew
eral banks of Albuquerque by depos-
iting as collateral, notes signed by
