WINSTON HAStPLAN FORBATH-HOUSE
AT HOT SPRINGS; RAPS SENATE
FOR FAILURE TO ENTHUSE
House Bill in Interest Of Many Cripples Who
Need Healing Palomas Waters, Says Repre-
sentative; Upper House Not Close Enough to
Common People, Says

Hon Frank Winston, member OF
the house from Sierra has issued
the following authorized interview on
the bill to establish a free bath
house under the auspices Of the state
at Hot Springs in this county, which
bill has passed the house and Is now
before the senate:
blouse Bill No. SO, to establish and
maintain a free bath house at Hot
Springs, was passed by the house
unanimously, and is now in the hands
Of the senate finance committee. This
bill is identical with that passed by
the house and made ineffective by an
amendment Of the SENATE during last
session.
Several members OF the present
legislature did not understand why 1t
was necessary to introduce another
bill at this time, supposing all that
had been asked for had been granted
two years ago.
THE defect in that law was caused
by the senate amendment which cut
out the yearly maintenance, and leav-
ing the bath house a state institution,
free to every resident OF the state,
but requiring the village of Hot
Springs to bear the cost OF its main
tenance which. relatively speaking.
would be the same as to require the
city Of albuquerque to pay the cost
Of running the University. because it
is located at Albuquerque.
Twenty years ago the S of these
springs was comparatively local.
Sufferers from rheumatism and other
diseases came from the counties Of
Sierra, Socorro and Dona Ana. The
county of Sierra built a small bath
house over the principal spring, but
reports OF the cures spread in ever
widening circles until cripples come
now from nearly every county in the
state, and the bath houses are unsani-
tary and woefully inadequate.
THE population Of Hot Springs is
composed Of persons Of small means
who risked what little money they
had by putting improvements on gov
eminent land in the belief that the
town would be an important one.
El Nuevo mexicano., 1919-02-27

They came very near losing every.
thing as the land embracing the town.
site and springs at one time,
advertised for sale to the highest bid
der by the government. The sale was
averted and the government is now
surveying the lots of the village pre-
paratory to deciding them to the resi-
dents claiming them, but reserving
the medical springs and a small sec
tfon for bath houses or hotels. Near
ly all who have used these waters are
people Of limited or 10 Many
come with their own conveyances and
often with camp equipages.
"Bill No SO, seeks to protect the
people who cannot afford to pay ex-
pensive hotel bills by, securing a part
of these springs and erecting a bath,
house that Will be free to all resi-
dents OF the state and provide for its
maintenance. II this is not speedily
done. the waters will all be taken by
hoteaa, and thousands OF cripples,
who can not get relief from medi-
cines, Will be deprived of the use Of
these Strings because they are not
able to pay hotel bills. The state is
paying $4,000 each year for the sup
port OF nine l9) hospitals, the lowest
cost being $500, while this bill asks
100000 only, and 1t is estimated
that these springs have relieved more
suffering than any two of these hos
pitfalls.
Each time this bill has been up
before the house, it passed unani-
mously without any effort on the part
Of the author, except an explanation
partly for the reason that many of the
members are well acquainted with
the conditions at Hot Springs, and
perhaps because they live more
among the great body of the common.
people and better know their needs
than do the members of the senate.
If the members Of the senate viii
fully inform themselves about this
matter, the bill will go through the
senate Just as it came from the house,
and not with a senate amendment
that will virtually kill the bill.
