resolution in accordance with
this petition was passed, Loren
zo Zamora and Juan Cruz San
chea voting in the affimathe,
and Valencia in the negative
Mr. Valencia, we are told, not
only voted against the resolution
but refused to sign it. But al
though the resolution was
passed by a majority vote of
the board, the information a
hand indicates that it still has a
rocky road to travel. We are
told that the district attorney
says that the resolution is no
good unless signed by Dr. Am
ble, treasurer and collector, and
we feel safe in predicting that
it will be a much cooler day than
is likely to occur during the sum
mer months when Dr. Amble
signs. All this, be it under
stood, 3 not official, but is the
best information available at
this writing. What the future
may bring forth, only the future
will disclose. The News-Herald
has heretofore quite fully ex
pressed its opinion on this sub
ject and there is no call to chew
it over, further than to say it is
of the same opinion still, to-wit:
The N. M. C. is not entitled to a
reduction of taxes. In consider
ing tnis matter, nowever, it is
but justice to say that the prop
osition when it was up before
and at this time is different in
this respect: On the former oc
casion the proposition was to pay
in receiver's certificates, con
ditioned on the reduction, and
this time it was to pay in cash
within thirty days, conditioned
on the reduction asked. Also it
should be noted that petitions
were filed pro and con.
