County Commissioners Obey Law

upon request Of so taxpayers
Two three times the necessary so have petitioned
the commissioners to call election upon $4,000
bonds for road purposes. The commissioners have no
option except to call the election. The law requires
it. and they are bound to give the people chance

practicable opportunity.
So far, not single argument has been advanced
from any against the bond issue A few per-
sons have said that they think the proposed amount
is too large that the existing roads bad, OF
that the commissioners inexperienced, that "ax

IN ANY PLAN for the FL Paso of the future, and
for better FL Paso Of the present, three great
principles must be kept in mind: First, maximum
and practical service public health and convenience
must be the primary considerations second greater
beauty and charm should be sought after the practical
side has been duly considered; third we must plan so
that all residents shall share the benefits of public
work. not merely part of our people
The first thing to be aimed at in any city looking
toward the future convenient to every part
Of the city and its suTOundngs-the practical facilities
Of ordinary commercial and social traffic.
Then progressive city must provide healthful
oitiOns for al its peope-facities for normal healthy
life and play 1t is foolish and costly neglect any
part Of the population in planning these provisions
Third, the whole city be turned into one great
park simply by extending the idea Of wide curb park
ing and 80 foot paved roadways throughout the city
in residence districts wherever street is not needed
for main highway traffic for street car lines In
this way park be brought to every mans door.
Fourth, FL Paso's very greatest asset in the way
Of natural scenic beauty-the mesa's nm-must be de-
Veloped by the construction of scenic drive along
rim and scenic park adjacent to the high school
site.
Fifth, such medium sized parks we already have
should be well cared for but do not need acquire
more at present.
Sixth, small show parks may be acquired and main
tanned at intervals, including the additions, but
there IS no need to spend money too lavishly
tending these particular features since the great bulk

EEMBERS OF the elephant Butte
MI Water Users association have
L L from time to time given liberal
expression to the views entertained by
them regarding the controversy which
recently arose between the reclamation
service and the association concerning
the form of temporary water contracts
for the season Of 1915, under the Leas-
burg diversion dam and canal; but lit
tie has been said relative to the other
side OF the controversy. It is possible
that the public and particularly the
water users under the project might
be interested in hearing something
more Of the other side Of the matter,
which has already been touched upon
in The Herald
When II was announced that a charge
OF so cents per acre would be made for
stored water. a general protest was
made, and under date Of March 1, 1915,
a joint committee Of the two water
users associations met in the office OF
the project manager at FL PasO and
drafted a resolution directed against
the imposition OF this charge and ask
ing that there be collected only the
actual cost Of operation and mainte-
nance CT each unit.
This resolution OF the joint commit
tee was on March 4. 1915. approved by
the board OF directors of the Elephant
