A CoRRECI-oN

Omission of n paragraph yesterday
made the Herald say in an editorial on
the 100000 state highway bond is
sue, that the issue itself had been de-
clarcd illegal by the courts, when only
the manner of sale Of the issue has
been declared illegal. The effect, how
ever. is the same as IL there was a
fundamental defect in the bond issue
itself. The bond issue cannot be
marketed under the conditions re-
quircd by the legislative act, because
there is no market for tho bonds un-
der those conditions An effort to get
around those conditions is an evasion
Of the law and has been so construed
by the courts The effect is to leave
New Mexico without the aid In high
way building which the state and the
people expected from this half million
of bonds, and which aid is now so ur'
gently needed.--Albuquerque Herald.

FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
RECIPIENT OF $500
FROM STATE FUND
Boys Given Banquet for the
Good Work They Have
Done Recently

The City Fire Department received
check for $4,000 from the state in.
surance fund which was turned over to
the city. This money is used to Iay the
expenses of the Fire Department and
iire fighting apparatus now owned by
the city.
The town of Clovis receives $4,000
every year as their part of the state
money. We do not care If Clovis re.
ceivcs more than that but think there
is screw loose somewhere because
Tucumcari should get as much, If not
more, IL property valuation is taken
into consideration. We think our new
representatives to the legislature will do
well to look int this matter and Sc
cure for Tucumcari the amount of
state monies she rightfully deserves
from all departments.
If wc had received our just appor.
tiOumcnt we would now be able TO pur-
chase team to keep in readiness to
answer all calls with rapidity without
danger of killing the big work team
now being used to make the runs. This
team IL all right for a few blocks but
are not trained for this kind of work.
We would like 10 see new fire team
purchased for the city and believe the
present council would do this II the
money was forthcoming with which TO
purchase same.
Another thing that should be stopped
is the turning in of false fire alarms,
as. avery one turned in costs the city
sssdr aud has a tcndcncy-to slow the
boys up because they DO not know wheth-
or they are really needed or not. The
department has been making good late
~ and often 20 into places of danger
in order to save property. The mem.
bers respond promptly and are nou
afraid of work. The dollar each one re-
ceives partially pays for the damage
done 10 theirclothing and time lost
from their places of business, but we
have bunch of fire fighters and are
proud of their efficient work.
The fire department was invited to
partake OF o bountiful supper given by
Mr.. and Mrs Ed. Barnett last Monday
evening 20 show their appreciation OF
the good work the boys did in saving
their residence from being burned
during the fire few days ago when
the house belonging TO Geo. Evans
WIS destroyed by FIRE. The boys
were loud in their praise Of the honor
bestowed upon them and fully enjoy
cd the elegant rcpast.
