COMMUNICATION

The following communication was
received from Mr.. Fox, with the re-
quest that same be published:
Tucumcari, New Mex, May Is, 1917
Editor News:
Dear SIR
The controversy growing out .. the
plumbing in new school buildings is
causing some criticism of me and of
those who defended my position. Some
Misrepresentation are being INDUCED
in. We believe we are just as loyal
to our schools and the cause of edu-
cation as our critics, but we have
other duties here. am not afraid
for the people to judge when they have
the facts, therefore, | present a few
of the facts leading up to this.
A few months ago the school board
entered into a contract with Mr.. Rog-
ers, of Texas, to build two school
buildings. Mr.. Rogers gave bond to
the school board, as a guarantee to
fulfill terms Of the contract. Rogers
then let the plumbing and heating to q
Mr.. Wheatley Of Texas.
Mr.. Wheatley came to the city Of
fee to ascertain the requirements of
the plumbing ordinance. He found
that the ordinance required all plumb.
ing contractors to give bond in the
sum of $1,000. Said bond to be made
to the City of Tucumcari and approved
by the Council. This ordinance makes
it the duty of the plumbing inspector
to enforce the provisions of the or
dinance and states he may be removed
from Office for neglect of duty.
Mr.. Wheatley filed his bond with tn,
city clerk and the council at next meet
ing would not accept the bond and i'm
mediately amended the ordinance b,
raising the plumbers bond to $4,000
This bond Mr.. Wheatley never gave
%contending that the Rogers bond wa.
sufficient. To force this issue up l.
the proper authority for approval,
asked the plumber to stop work. The,
ignored my request and | filed com
plant in police court against the con
tractor and plumber. 1t then devel
oped that they were working unde
instructions from Mayor Israel. Thi
brought the matter to the city counc
where it belonged. The city attorne
|, advised them that the head contractor
bond to the school board was vail
to the City Of Tucumcari as a plumber
bond. Upon this advice the counc
!, accepted that bond. Whether it is @
is not valid is no concern of mine. TIL
fact remains that it releases me.
, A short time ago in an action, |
, district court, against the City of T,
cumcari, l was made the goat in
matter that ! was in no way respor
sible, charging me with neglect of m
Q duty. So there you are. Its troubI
II you do and It's trouble II you dom
am going TO enforce the rules {
laid down by the City Council and
Is up to them to say when to sto
Just as long as people from 9th,
states are allowed to evade all O,
license and regulations, just SO lor
will u local contractors and lahore,
be deprived Of the work that is d,
them. Respectfully,
d. c. FOX.

The Experiment Station Is trans
planting FIVE thousand young trees,
most Of which are Of the shade va
riety. This is an experiment and Is
for the purpose Of determining which
of the shade varieties is best suited
to this country. We all know the old
black locust and cottonwood are more
commonly grown but there may be
some other variety that would be still
better. The ground was prepared last
year for the receiving Of these trees
but there had not been sufficient mois-
ture during the past six or eight
months to take chances.
The snow Saturday night and Sun.
day was estimated ut the station to
be nine inches producing about one
inch of moisture. Manager Smith
said the manner in which the snow
came and melted was equivalent Il
about three inches Of rain. So 1t was
truly a God-send to New Mexico.
Several farmers and stockmen re
port the loss Of a few cattle as the
stock was thin in flesh and could no,
withstand the cold damp snow, but
none of them seem to be sorry be-
cause the snow and rain were worth
more to Quay county than the stocl
lost. In fact it was a good investment
because thousands Of head Of cattl,
and horses would have persisted fol-
lack of feed. Grass will now com,
forth and help the farmer with tn,
pillow and hoe save the day for Uncl,
Sam so far as the food question /.
concerned.
