Albuquerque council enacts looser liquor curbs over camp
The Albuquerque city council reversed course to pass an ordinance restricting liquor sales during the national guard encampment, limiting saloon hours, and ordering saloon lists of soldiers. The action followed governor Lindsey demanding strict controls and the suspension of a state financed military camp. The measure, passed with six councilors in support, aims to curb disorder while tensions with the mayor and other officials surfaced in the meeting.

Churches and Libraries May Conduct Lotteries
Assistant Attorney General George G Taylor recently held that operation of slot machines on punch boards by which some customers win candies or prizes and others gain nothing is a violation of New Mexico lottery laws. The law allows lotteries only when run by a church, public library or religious society for charitable purposes, and excludes county fairs within the state when proceeds benefit local churches libraries or religious groups.
