county commissioners order an cleo
ton on three road bond issues: One,

ening the road to TsIeta; the second,
$4,000. for rebuilding the smelte-
road from the west city limits to the
santa Fe tracks. and the third, for
SIS. 900. to improve the road to New
man, \. NJ which Will connect with
the road from AlamoEordo.
Judge Pool explained that the bond
issues would mean an increase in
taxes Of about three cents, but by pro-
viding for permanent roads would de-
crease the maintenance taxes now j >

ready had about 1000 names on the
petition before he passed it around
