town this season A meeting as held which was attended by rep of the Light company and nnd the council and it lias decided lhat the mailer be laid until the city trustees shall de- sire to further consider a pumping proposition The Luitwiler pumps in use have not had Hie best of care and it will be necessary for the Town to employ experienced mechanics lo make these repairs Bros will be secured if possible and will superintend the drilling of the wells and the tion of the pumps at a lower depth The construction of the surface which will greatly reduce cost of pumping will be taken up In a short time This improvement nf Las Cruces social clubs are less ban the statutory distance from church property and as tho present limit of saloon licenses is full the local clubs would probably have in obtaining saloon licenses The Santa Fe cases will be watched with interest Chief Justice Roberts in discussing the liquor situation in Santa Fe While you are considering the question of the enforcement of the law relative to tho sale of ing liquor it would probably not be out of place for me to suggest to you that while I approve of your action in Inking cancel the license of a man alleged to been guilty of selling liquor lo an intoxicated man it seems to me that it Is a far greater evil for a liquor dealer to sell liquor lo a minor than it is to sell to an in- man or lo sell on Sunday If you have no ordinance giving you the power to cancel the license of Ing in preponderance or the trustees must allow the license of the ing saloon to be renewed The law provides for a hearing for the saloon man this hearing was had at tho time of the refusal nf the n cense and it would seem o those not acquainted with the law that this should end It has been held that judgment of the city trustees as to the gravity of selling to drunkards against the present law to minors to creating a low moral atmosphere and causing drunkenness among patrons of loons as well as violations of law was supreme If saloons are pended because the town trustees be- lieve they transgressed mid in the present instances members of the council were invited by citizens to visit with them and did so visit saloon quarters to see conditions can bring the council into court with their cause then it is shown that n town or cily must prosecute by law or bo by Hie phase of law enforcement that has never been
