1870, which passed the council upon a
favorable report from the steering
committee.
Up to the time the committee made
its report it had not been believed
that this bin could be passed. Strong
pressure had been brought to bear,
however, for action upon it. and it is
one of the measures given special en-
,phasis by the governor in his message
to the legislature.

made to the bill but none if its vital
sections were affected The passage
of this bill will go far to complete
the record Of this legislature. Other

COUNTY SALARY BILL
DEFEATED BY COUNCIL

In the council this morning Mr..
Catron from the steering committee
brought in substitute for council
bills 36 and 81, bills which sought
to raise the salaries of assessors ana
trcasurcrs. The governor had given
notice that he would not approve
such a bill and the substitute sought
to meet his objections. In this how
ever, at failed, and also it failed to
meet the objections of tire council
The substitute gave assessors ana cor
lcctors four per cent on all licenses up
to $500, in addition to the $500 max
imum now allowed by law. This would
have raised the salaries of these two
officers in Bernalillo ana other tlrst
class counties to $4,000.
Mr.. Hanley. of Bernalillo county re
fused to concur in the steering COM
mittees report and when Mr.. Catron
moved to suspend the rules to pass the
bill. he objected. with the result that
he motion was lost by a vote of Z to 4,
Messrs Baca. of SOcorro. Baca, OF
Valencia, Hanley, PrincW Ipton. NC
Bee ana Hewitt voting against the
consideration of the bill. The bill
was referred to the steering com
mittee again, but it is believed the
action this morning effectually kills 1t.
Tomorrow is going to be busy
day i'm both houses, IN addition TO
the appropriation bill there remain
"a number of very important measures
which should be acted upon and an
effort will be made to crowd them all
through The house is determined to
secure the passage Of some kind OF a
liquor traffic regulation bill ana there
is plenty of sentiment for it in the
council while the house also may at
tempt to put through railroad COM
mission bill in the closing hours
Whatever unusual action comes up
will only serve to make the situation
more difficult as both houses nave
everything they can possibly attend
To between now and midnight tonl"i- -

Santa Fe, n. NJ, March II,


The closing hours of the thirty
eighth legislative assembly promise to
be about as strenuous as the finish of
any Legislature in recent years. The
result of the extreme deliberatlon
practiced during the early days of
the session is to crowd an unusual
mass of legislation up for passage at
the finish and as u result of the con-
gcstion particularly in the house,
many bills which are being urged for
passage are going to be held up. As
II is bills are pouring into the gov
ernor's office after each session in
dozens and the executive will have
a strenuous day tomorrow.
The appropriation bill was still in
the hands of the finance committee
when the council convened this morn
ing and did not get reported into that
body until late this evening The coun-
ell has made a number of changes
in the bill, advancing the appropria-
tons for several of the educational
institutions and territorial offices,
whore appropriations have been need
cd, and generally shaping the bill
more in accord with the original
measure.
The appropriations for ~ rharit
able institutions of the territory We're
put back in the bill at the night ses-
sion al which consideration of the
main bill was completed. The gem
c3,al deficiency bill which has been at
tachcd to the general appropriation
bill, was still unoer consideration
when the council adjourned tonight.
The general appropriation bill now
carries a total of a little over half
million dollars The appropriation
for the University Of New Mexico is
fixed at $1,000, an increase of some
ten thousand dollars over last years
figures
Indications are that the conference
committee will be occupied the great
er part of tomorrow with the bill ana
that it will not get through until the
closing hours of the session.
