CITY AND COUNTY BUY
BUILDING FOR HOSPITAL.
New institution Began Operations
Following Deal, With Three
Patients.

The county commissioners and the
city council last Thursday closed a
deal effecting the purchase Of the
large house occupied and owned by
Florence Moore, near the Rio Grande
Oil Go. plant, for use as a county
and city hospital, to which use it
was Immediately put, the former own
er giving immediate possession. The
work of fitting and equipping the
building began Friday.
There are eight rooms for patients
in the building, not including a large
ward, where the few smallpox patients
found in Deming two weeks ago ere
confined. The total capacity at
present is % patients. The arrange
ments perfected permit the entire
segregation of patients having con-
tagious diseases from the others. At
present two smallpox eases and one
OF nervous prostration are being
cared for, according to Matron Mar
garet Golden, who began her duties
Friday.
The hospital building and lot cost
the city and county $4,000. Small
pox alone last year cost them over
$1,000. Health Officer N. F. Chap
man, upon whose recommendation the
hospital was established, believes
that once under way the hospital can
operate for a year for not much over
that sum. Mr.. Chapman will here
after have his office at the hospital
building.
The Mexican settlement near the
hospital is being given an overhaul
ing by the health departments with
the object Of giving the hospital as
healthful surroundings as possible.

STATE SELLS MORE LAND.
Good Prices for Tracts In Union,
COlfax and Mora Counties.

Santa Fe, March 4:-The state
land department on March paid to
the state treasurer a total Of $780,

Of state lands received during the
month of February, the amount be.
ing the largest on record for that
month, which ordinarily is not an
active one in the state land office.
Indications now are that month BY
month the high records Of last year
for state land income will be dis
tanced by the payments Of the cur
rent fiscal year.
Following the successful auction Of
state land at Clayton in Union coun-
ty on February IA, State Land Com
missioner r. P. Ervien and his as
sistants went to Ration and Mora,
where sales were held last week. In
the Colfax county sale at Ration a
total of 4l,7sO.94 acres sold for a
gross price of 1921, ,254.5l, or an
average of $3.50 an acre; while in
the Mora county sale at Mora 2S,-
Os2.33 acres brought $175,43O.6O, or
an average Of 1925 per acre. This
is the best average on record for a
Mora county sale of the state lands.
bidding was active in both auctions
last week and while the greater part
of the land sold was strictly grazing
land, several of the smaller tracts
brought fancy prices, one tract Of
600 acres in Mora county going at
$40 an acre, while tract Of H.
952.ll acres in that sale went for
T.l1. The tracts n these two sales
ranged in area from 40 to 81 ,OOC
acres, a majority being Of section
or less. With a few exceptions ac.
tive stockmen were the purchasers.

THE COOyvILLE LESSOR.

codyville was the dirtiest spot
around Deming. II is now the
cleanest. Codyville had to clean
up. Deming may have to do the
same. It's a fine thing to at
tend to plain duty Of your own
free will; It's not so fine when
there's a whip cracking over you.
Let's not wait FOR the whip.
Don't wait for the Deming Sani-
tary Association TO tell you
what to do. Don't even wait for
Mayor NOrdhaus' call for a
cleanup week. Don't wait for
anything. Let's just clean up
right now, clean up thoroughly
and STAY CLEANED UP.
There's a pointed lesson in the
Codyville incident. Let's not
miss the point.

most notable Of all, and will make
very worthwhile addition to the

Of 125 are from Deming and Camp

DECLINES
engineers Report
Asks NJ. Fennessy to Submit New
Figures on Light and Power
Rates for DamInu.
SHOWS COMPANY LOSES MONEY.


Consulting Engineer D. V. Fen
messy, employed by the council sew
eral weeks ago to conduct an inyes-
tigatiOn Of the local light and power
situation with view to establishing
a rate fair to both the public and
the Deming Ice & Electric company,
made a report at the reguiar meeting
Of the council Monday night setting
a figure that is very little short Of
that asked by the company last fall,
which request was the cause Of the
investigation. The rate proposed BY
the company at that time carried an
average increase Of about 35 per
cent over the rate obtaining at that
time. The council declined to grant
this, but permitted flat increase Of
20 per cent pending the inyestiga-
tion. Mr.. Fennessy declared that
because Of the rapid cost Of pro-
ducing power an increase Of 81 per
cent is the lowest that will permit
the company TO operate at a profit
The rate he recommended involves on
increase Of about 80 per cent. This,
he stated, would give the company a
profit Of about per cent on an in
vestment Of $26l, ,474, which he found
on their books. He declared that the
company had operated at a net loss
Of sl4,999.66 for the six past years.
The council declined to accept the
report as it stood, as a basis for an
agreement with the company, on the
contention that the rate asked in
volved profit on the transmission
projects Of the company outside the
city, notably the one at Miesse, which
was total failure. This one item
alone boosted the investment by
about $62, 1000, from which about ST.
200 will be salvaged on the material
used in building the transmission line,
making a net loss on the project Of
about $4,000. The council were a
unit on the proposition that interest
on this investment should not he paid
for by the people Of Deming. Mr.. Fem
messy was instructed to submit an
other report, conforming to his or
iginal instructions from the council,
which he promised to have ready in
the course Of week, showing Just
what part Of total capitalization is in
volved in supplying current to Demine
II this report doesn't meet With
the approval Of the company, how
ever, they may ask for an arbitra-
ton Of rates by an impartial board
appointed for the purpose. The eoun-
has no such recourse, according to
the agreement providing FOR the in-
vestigation.
The large users Of current are bit
particularly hard by the new rates
proposed, which carry a surcharge Ce
$3.50 for each horsepower Of capa-
city. In the case Of the United Land
4 Water Company, for example,
which is the largest single consumer
Of the power, the increased cost Of
power per month would be boosted,
according to Manager Chas. Cotton,
from approximately 500 to over
$1,000. In many cases this might
prove prohibitive.
The amended report Of Engineer
Fennessy win probably be received
at special meeting when It is ready
for presentation.
