Water rights transfer challenged by Taos associations
About 50 members of Tres Rios Acequia Rio Fernando del Sur and Canon Mutual Water Association protested a Taos Town transfer of 13.6 acre feet of water from Las Haciendas land. They argue the move could impair irrigation, while officials defend the practice under a 1974 ordinance and note rights may be held in trust until sold or transferred. The State Engineer will review the protest filed in 1938 amid questions of prior use and ownership.

Taos arrest warrants issued for two suspects in pharmacy robbery
Taos Police seek Frank Gilbert Chavez and Geraldine Valerio in connection with the Ken’s Pharmacy holdup last week. The Santa Fe pair are held on $50 000 bonds each for a separate Santa Fe drugstore robbery and face a Taos cash bond of $40 000 apiece. Authorities expect Santa Fe charges to take precedence. The Nov 29 robbery left Ken Dixon beaten and robbed of about $12 in change after the thieves demanded narcotics and threatened shooting. The pair were cited after a prior traffic stop the night before the Taos crime. They reportedly stayed in Velarde before a Santa Fe robbery the next day.
