Colorado's Capital Tracks Tax Receipts And Political Talks
The report highlights $938 in four months from sale of confiscated hides and property, banner January at $300, with April预计 above $400. It notes Gov Orman denying plans to remove Adjutant General Gardner, and mentions a $30,000, year-old pending allocation for the Dependent Children's Home, plus four other unpaid appropriations. The state board issued teaching certificates for summer schools, and discussions with Rev Ford and C W Buford touch on lynching and anti-lynching legislation. The Creede mines dispute between Hinsdale and Mineral counties resurfaces, with lengthy rulings tracing boundary lines to the Mexican meridian, threatening $180,000 in unpaid back taxes if Hinsdale gains.
