Governor Curry ir Santa Fe. of the
district attorneys of the territory ev-
cry district attorney, with the excep-
ion of E. c. Abbott of Santa Fs and
F. P. Wright, of Silver City, were pre-
Isent
The meeting resolved itself into a
general discussion of territorial condi-
tions with regard to the official duties
of the district attorneys and Governor
Curry gave them explicit instructions
regarding the strict enforcement of
the anti-gambling law, Sunday closing
law and the new statute with regard
to the equalization and collection of
taxes.
The equalization of taxation. and
the collection of delinquent taxes
were especially looked into and a
general plan of procedure outlined.
The recent legislature provided for a
process for the collection of delin-
quert taxes throughout the territory
and the district attorneys were in
structed to proceed with the enforce
ment of this statute at once.
The new district attorneys law
also gives the district attorneys a
right to appeal in the name of the
territory from the action of the board
of county commissioners. sitting as
board of equalization, when inequali-
ties are discovered. as for instance in
colfax county. where grazing lands
are assessed at 30 cents an acre,
when in other parts of the territory
the same class cf lands are assessed
at 50 cents an acre
The attorney general has been in
structed by the governor to at once
prepare an opinion covering those
phases of the anti-gambling law,
whcih in certain sections of the terri
tory, aretecoming violated technically,
that is to say. slot machines and card
games are being run in a manner that
IS supposed to get around the provis-
ons Of the anti-gambling law The
opinion will be forthcoming in few
days.

After a spirited contest on the part

dicial purposes. so as to establish the
Seventh district, Valencia county was
taken from the Second district and
transferred to the Seventh, which also
includes soeorro and Sierra counties.
Torrance county was transferred from
the Sixth district to the First or San

to Santa Fe determined to capture
the headquarters of the new district,
was of course disappointed, but as
sentiment throughout the territory
was overwhelmingly against the crea-
tion of a rev district in the northeast
portion of the territory, the decision
of the supreme court in giving the

approval.
