WANTS CITY TO
HIKE LEVY FOR
HEALTH SERVICE

Proposal Of DR.. C. e. Waller,
state health commissioner, that
the city of Albuquerque increase
the levy for the health depart
ment so as to raise $500, which
will permit establishment of a
full time health department, did
not meet the entire approval of
the city commissioners last night.
While admitting the undeniable
advantages of highly efficient
health department, the commits
sioners did not feel that they
should add a single dollar to the
already heavy burdens upon the
taxpayers.
DR.. Walters proposal calls for
budget of $4,000. OF this
amount the United States public
health department will furnish
$4,000, the county will add an
other $4,000, and the remainder
of $500 must be raised by the
city The city had made tenta-
tive arrangement to include a levy
of a quarter-m for the purpose.
This would raise about $3,7O0.
The money would be distributed
about as follows. according to
Doctor waller: trained health Of |
hcer, $4,000; clerk, $1,000; two
instructors, $1,000; equipment for
laboratory, $500; incidentals, |
$1,000.
The advantages, as outlined by |
Doctor Waller, would be in the |

In order to assure the success
Of the plan, the city would have
10 increase the levy from a quar-
ter to four-tenths of a mill. While
he increase would be slight, the

next year will be so great that

justified in making an appropria-

NO INCREASE IN

Corporation Commission Re-
fuses Hike in Passenger
Fare; Increases lntraState
Freight Rate.

C.,-.. ~ O, - ,--..., ....,-.
oruer no - was issued yeSler-
day morning on the docket of the
state corporation commission in
croasing all intrastate freight
rates in New Mexico to meet the
increase of the Interstate Com
merCe Commission. with the fol-
lowing exceptions:
The rate on low grade ore from
Santa Rita to Hurley, ana on lOgs
from Thoreau TO Albuquerque has
not been increased. The commits
sion also refused to grant any in
crease in freight rates on the New
Mexico Midland, a short coal rail-
road which runs from san Antonio
Request Of railroads to increase
the passenger fares in the state
was also rejected, except on the
Colorado & Southern, which has
had a scent fare, now increased
to e cents a mile. Attorney w.
c. Reid states that the increase by
both state ana interstate commits
sions will throw rates out Of adj
justment temporarily, but that
they will eventually be straight
ened out,
Reason for Refusal.
II Is understood that the re-
fusal of the state corporation COM
mission to allow the increase in
passenger fares was because this
state joined with Arizona and Ne
vada in a petition TO tn" Inter
state Commerce Commission to re-
duce the fares in these three states
to the same level as that in other
states, that is, SO cents per mile.
In the opinion Of a. T. q :. T. !
Attorney Reid, who has had the |
matter of increase of rates in |
charge, this would not be fair. as
the expense of travelling i'm this |
hilly country is far greater than it |
would be in Kansas, for instance. |
Extra engines and extra equip |
ment are needed in New Mexico. !
Intrastate travel is comparatively !
light, eight passengers to each |
train being about the average A |
20 per cent increase on 4 cents, |
the present rate. would make the
rate cents a mile.
