Tax Reforms Boost State Finances and Budget System
Improvements in taxation and expenditure safeguards by the Fifth legislature promise more efficient state institutions and reduced waste. The mines tax provision mandates expert appraisals by February, with $80,000 appropriated. A proposed constitutional amendment would allow a thorough budget system and shift governor inauguration to December 1. A special appropriation funds institutional surveys, and a new state educational auditor office will audit school finances with a $3,600 salary and $2,000 travel fund, overseen by the governor. The travel staff expansion aims to tighten all state and county accounts.

Supreme court hears Grant county board contract dispute
The Supreme Court heard arguments over a case against the Grant County Board of Commissioners for sums of 59.98 and later 170000. Justice Reynolds disqualified due to a kinsman’s interest. Reed Holloman presided. J E Fancher challenged the board over contracts to create a County Clerk index and Beall classification system, with Holbrook and Socorro banks involved via advances. The district court sustained a demurrer, ruling the contracts beyond the board’s power and not publicly bid, prompting this appeal.
