the present timo, and have endeavor
ed nnj earnestly sought 10 inquire into
all offences against the laws OF the
State Of New Mexico which have come
20 our knowledge. After investigating
all such cases, we have returned into
Court II indictments and 4 true bills
We find that the Offices of the va.
rious county officers Of Quay county
are, as far as we were able to ascer.
tain, being KEEP, up IN the manner pro
vided by Jaw, and have heard no com.
plant against auy officer n his Of
scial capacity.
We end that in many cases children
are attending schools in districts ser
han those in which the residence Of
heir parents are situated, aud we fur.
ther find that the expense OF the school
ing Of such children is in many cases
borne by the school district in which
their parents reside, ano that funds
Of school in order 70 defray such ex.
penses. We are advised BY the MS.
.rict Attorney that be can 6nd no law
permitting any school district 'c pay
any other school district funds to de.
fray the expense Of schooling children
in such other district, aud thar school
directors have the legal right to ex.
pend district funds only for the main.
,cnance Of schools within the district
70 which such funds belong. We have
reached the opinion, through the ad.
vice OF rbc District Attorney, that il
children attend school outside Of their
own district, the lawful tuition which
may be exacted by the directors of the
district in which they are attending
school, mus. be betrayed by the pa
rcnts or guardians of such children. we
therefore, call 10 the attention OF the
various school directors the practice
| which We Grd has existed Us above sci
forth. and recommend rbnt the same
sball cease.
II has come 70 our attention tbs;
there is situated within the residence
portion OF Tucumcari, within Two Of
three blocks OF the school building, {
place for ,he storage OF dynamite, auC
other explosives, and that such place
OF storage is passed and repassed con
,tantly by school children and citizen
of Quay county. We recommend 'ha
in the event there is nc City Ordinance
relative 10 the storage Of explosive
within Tucumcari, that such ordinauc
he passed and enforced and that sucI
menace 20 .he lives Of citizens a
above set forth be sbated
We find from examination Of IN
books of the county assessor that No
Donald & Risner, and that one G, Cisc
have not paid the occupation iicens
required by law, and we instruct tn
district attorney to at once take step
to collect such license and TO Gle erin
iual information against these deliE
aueut in the event demand for the pa)
ment Of such license IL not met with
full,
We find that in many instances VI
rious justices Of rhe peace Of Qua
county are binding over to the gran
jury and District count offences again'
the law in matters of misdemeano' o.
wherein such Justice Of the peace hi
fun jurisdiction 10 hear and determi'
. the cause. We heartily disapprove
such practice, and insist that in mi
/. dcmeanor cases, and all cases with
their jurisdiction as justice Of the pea
such officers give judgment, therein
In conclusion, we wish to thank q
, Court, and various officials with who
have dealt, for the treatment we ha'
received, and with the assurance tn
n we have completed our labors' we nc
ask the Court that we may he dischar
cd from further duties,
