Tijeras Avenue
Property Owners
Ask Re-Hearing

The property who protested
AGAINST the Tijcrss avenue paving to-
day filed q motion for rehearing the
supreme court. The grounds given
for h motion ARE that supreme
court overlooked and disrcEarded the
Law 81 1903 which the property own
ers claimed repealed tho 1905 law
under which the city commissioner
ordered the paving; the property own
ers assert that their attorney fully
argued the question In their brief no
fore the supreme court. but thai the
detcndantH' attorneys. as well as the
court overlooked the 1909 law aud
enormously assumed that the 1878 law
was involved. 4 second ground for
rehcaring was that the court err
~roncousiy assumed that Albuquerque
WAS organized under the 1919 com
mission form Of government act In
stead OF 1917 and overlooked and
~disregarded the fact that the 1917
law was the act under which Alhu-
querque adopted lis present charter.
The third ground for the motion
states that tho court failed TO pass
on the United States constitutional
question raised and requests the court
to decide that question,
