ALL IN A BEAUTIFUL NESS
Road Board can Collect Tax, have
Work done, t.can't Pay for
it, says District Court

The work of that sweet legisla-
ture keeps cropping up here and
there. The latest is in regard to
road matters, the district court
in San Miguel county having de-
cided that under the new road
law the county road board has no
power to pay out money for road
work. The law provides that the
road board shall collect the road
tax, and expenditures for road
work shall be under the super
vision of the road board, but &C
cording to the decision mentioned
the board cannot pay for work.
Thus those wise law makers fixed
it so that the board of county
commissioners can't collect road
tax and have road work done,
while the road board can collect
the tax and have work done but
can't pay for it. Beautiful, in
deed. Also it appears from pro-
ceedings had in Dona Ana county
that delinquent tax sales are in
as bad a muddle as the road mat
ters, all because of the tinkering
of the law by that same set of
jackleg legislators. - Estancia

new ROAD MACHINERY
ARRIVES, is TRIED OUT

The new road building ma
chinery recently purchased by
the County Road Board arrived
the first of the week, and was
tried out on several streets in
town on Wednesday. Becker
avenue from the depot towards
the John Becker Company store
was gone over and also a block
on south Main street between
Didier's and the John Becker
Company store. The demonstra-
tors showed that good work can
be done with little effort with
this outfit.
The outfit consists of a 1880
Horse Power Kerosene Traction
engine and an Indiana grader. 1t
was the intention of the board to
send the outfit to Los Lunas to
put the road near the bridge
there in shape, but on account of
the weight of the outfit, it will be
necessary to rebuild some of the
bridges between here and the
county seat before sending up
the outfit. Possibly this will be
a good thing in itself, as it will
insure better bridges. A couple
of culverts near the railroad
tracks here in town gave way
under the weight of the outfit.

BALL CANE

Belen Team Plays Cool Game
but UmpireS decided
against en-

Yes, that was some ball game
at Los Lunas, the two teams be
ing quite evenly matched. The
score Of runs shows that Gallup
won 5 to 2, but that score does
not tell all about the game by a
jugfull. While q great deal Of
work had been done to get the
grounds in shape recently, there
was world of difference between
them and the fast grounds our
boys have been used to. A few
errors on the par, Of our boys
during the first three innings,
allowed the Gallup bunch to run
their score up to five. BIT they
found out they had to play ball,
for throughout the rest Of the
game they failed to score, altho
the umpiring was in their favor,
not single close decision being
awarded our boys throughout the
game. Moore, who has been
playing third, was put in outer
field, a position he has never
played. SalaZar, who played
third, made a costly error by
running away from 4 throw to
him at third. Later, with basse3
full and two cut, Salazar strIck
out, which did not enhance him
in the opinion of local fans. In
fact these two plays On his part,
together with the fact that he
was hob-nobbing in the camp Of
the enemy during the morning,
make things look suspicious to
say the least.
The batteries were: Hey1nan
and Wing for Gallup; Gutierrez
and Chavez for BeIen. Heyman
allowed Z hits and struck out 8,
while Gutierrez allowed 8 hits
and struck out 10.
1t is hoped that a return game
can be arranged to be played Oh
the Belen grounds. Whether the
Gallup boys will agree to come
here is questionable, for they
know that our boys were not
outclassed last Monday, and they
may not care to risk another
chance. The last six innings Of
the game were as pretty baseball
as anyone could desire to see,
and proved that the teams are
evenly matched, and one game
should not be allowed to decide
the matter.
