BACK To SCHOOL
CAMP A|CN TO Be
STARTED IN CITY

A "back to school, campaign is to
be inaugurated in Albuquerque this
week, superintendent John Milne an
nounced last night. Since the schools
reopened following the lifting of the
Influenza quarantine many parents
have shown a disposition to keep Their
children out of school. The attend
ance is only about 80 per cent of nor
NAL. While there is no disposition on
the part of-the school officials to be
arbitrary with, parents whose children
are absent, it is felt that the influenza
epidemic is being stamped out and
an effort will be made to get the child
rem back into school, Those who do
net resume their studies will have
about half a year to make up, and of
course the longer they remain out the
further they will be behind.
Each teacher will look after the
pupils who are absent from her room.
She will confer with the parents and
see if it is possible to get the children
to return to school.
There is less influenza in the city
now than there was when the schools
reopened, showing quite conclusively
that no ill effects have followed the
raising of the quarantine.

1900 CASES ARE
DISPOSED Of AND

The year 1918 was thriving one
for the city of albuquerque insofar
as the police court fines were con-
cerned. Police judge w. w. Nc
Clellan disposed of over 500 cases
during the year, collecting 1889 in
fines. which went to the general fund
of the city government, and practical
ly made the police department self
sustaining. Sitting as justice of the
peace, Judge Mcclellan heard a num-
Der of state cases and the county is
richer by 81, 900 in fines as the re-
suit of his decisions. Judge McClel-
lan's records show that he has dis
missed a number of cases, both in
police court and in the Justice court

SOLDIER'E CLAIM is
RETURNED TO HIM BY
FEDERAL G0VERNME INT

That the government is determined
to see that the defenders of the coun-
try get a cquare deal is quite wildly
shown IN case that has just been
decided in favor of n soldier, through
the efforts of Attorney w. a. keleher
and the home service department of
the Red Cross.
Frank A. Salazar had a claim at
Wagon Mound. He was living on it
when the war broke out and shortly
thereafter, without waiting TO be
drafted, he joined the army along
with about thirty other young men
Of that vicinity. Shortly after his de-
parture his claim was jumped" "A
contest was started with the result
that his homestead entry was can
celed and the contestant took up the
claim.
Sulazar learned what had teon
done, but being in the army he was
unable to take any action to recover
his property at that time After be-
ing in the army for about Is months
he was mustered out on account of
contracting tuberculosis. He stated
the facts to the home service section
of the Red Cross. The matter was
by them referred to Mr.. Keleher,
who took it up with the Santa Ice land
office, the general land office at
Washington and the interior depart
ment, with the result that the former
action in regard to the matter has
been cancelled and the contest abat-
ed. The entry is now being held for
reinstatement upon the application
of Salazar. He is in Winslow, Ariz.,
and has been notified of the sitpa-
ton. He expects to take up his res-
dence on the homestead again.

MOMTOYA GIVEN
AN EASY CHAIR BY
RURAL TEACHE RS

That Atanasio Montoya was popu-

ed yesterday afternoon when they ar
rived at his house in a body and pre-
sented him with an arm chair of
leather upholstered in mahogany. The
teachers met earlier in the afternoon
at Grimshaw's. and timed their arriv-
al at the MontOya home with that OF
the chair for it was to be complete
surprise. Mrs. Roberts. principal of
the North Fourth street school, made
the presentation address, assuring
Mr., Montoya of their appreciation of
lis never failing cooperation and
help as well as their regret at his de-
parture from office. Mr.. Montoya
thanked them in a few well chosen
sentences, accepting the chair in
spirit of friendship and good will.
Mrs Roberts and Miss Irene Burke
are the only county teachers who
were in the work when Mr.. Montoya
took charge of the county schools.
Many of the others have been in the
schools five and six years, however,
and all of them regretted the termi-
nation of his term Of office.

BONDED DEBT IS
CAUSE Of HIGHER
TAXES, SAYS WADE
-evieS for City Purposes Has
Not Been Increased Fraction.
of Mill General Erroneous
Impression Corrected,

The taxes for running the city gov
ernment for 1913 are not a fraction
of mill higher than in former years,
according to Charles f. Wade, chair
man of the city commission, who de-
clared Yesterday that there is gem
eral impression, which is incorrect,
that the city had made a greater tax
levy to prpovide revenue for the mu-
nfcipality during 1919 than in previ-
Gus years,
"The exact truth of the matter is
that the city levies for general pur-
poses for 1918, which provide 1919
revenue, are Identical with the levies
made for the payment of interest on
Albuquerque's bonded debt, and for
the establishment of sinking funds
with which to ultimately retire the
bonds.
Albuqucrque's Bonded Debt.
"Albuquerques bonded debt is now
S853,00O. The bonds Were issued as
follows 1899, funding warrants, $685.
000 1899, refunding warrants, $S3,-
000- 1900, viaduct bonds, $4,000
1901, refunding sewer bonds, $50, 600;
1909 sewer bonds, 100000 1918,
water bonds, 100000. These bond is

per cent per annum. The interest is
S40.770 each year.
"All of these bonds mature at
stipulated time. The money for pay
ment at maturity must come from the
taxpayers. Each bond issued by the
CITY contains a provision that the city
pledges its property and its credit 10
establish at certain times during the
life Of the bonds. sinking fund for
taking up the Obligations when due.
"Heret ofore the city officials have.
not compiled in exact terms with the
provisions of the bonds with refer
ence to the sinking funds, We cannot
default in the payment of the bonds
when they become due. We must ~
them. Fer this reason the comml&on
has sought to correct the finance sys-
tem of the city insofar as il concerns
bond issues, and have started to 90
what the bonholders gould require us
TO do IN court by a writ Of mandamus.
Sinking Fund Created.
I'VE have made tax leViGS sufficient
TO establish sinking fund which VIII

In other words we are anuclpatlnS
the demands that can later be leSaiiE
made by The bondholders. Instead OF
waiting for them TO go into court ana

OF retiring the bonds in given year
We are arranging to pay off the bonds

Moneys derived from sinking FUND
levies are kept separate and apart
from all other city funds and used for
no other purpose than to pay off the
bonds as they nature
with the levies made by the coun-
tx and the board of education of the
city, the city government proper has
nothing to do. All we know is that we
are protecting the interests of the
