| House substitute for House Bill No.
16, by Blattman, to amend Chapter 81
of the Laws of 1907, the Good Roads
/ law of the last assembly, was passed.
The law provides that county commits
sioners shall divide their county into
| as many road districts as they deem
expedient except that the number OF
| road districts shall not exceed the
number of precincts. The law is to
go into effect on January /, 1910. The
bill passed by unanimous vote.
House Bill No. SO, by Roberts, was
unceremoniously defeated, although 1t
was an excellent measure and its pas
sage would have been of great benefit
to the territory 1t provided for CO.
operation by the territory with the
U. S. geological survey in making
stream measurements, the survey hav-
ing offered to duplicate any sum that
the territory might appropriate for
that purpose. The bill carried $4,000,
to be paid out of the water reservoirs
fund. After Mirabal had moved to
table the bill, Mr.. Roberts very con-
vincingly explained its scope, its
benefits and the fact that it would not
cost the taxpayers cent and that
the measure would be of especial
benefit to the irrigation farmer. His
powerful plea defeated the motion to
table, the vote being tie of II to IL,
but his motion TO make the bill the
special order for next Tuesday after
noon. 2 o'clock, failed, and the bill
being put on its passage, was de.
feated by a vote of 5 to IA, Chavez OF
Sierra remarking that the territory
had as much use for a stream gauges
as if had for an astronomer. A mo.
ton by Roberts to adjourn failed by
. 10 13. A motion by Mirabal to re-
consider the bill and to table the vote
carried by 16 to 6, the measure being
thus buried beyond the hope of resur
rection.
The House adjourned until this
raolning at 10 O'Clock.
