The past 100 years

From The Santa Fe New Mexican:

May 2, 1917: Six Measures Sent To Legislature By Governor To Meet War Emergency.

National Guard Draft, Bond Issue of $1,500,000, Permanent War Committee, Highway Repair, Vocational Education, County Agents and the Listing of Non-Military Persons, Among Items Covered in Bills. Merely War Board Suggestions, Governor Explains to Solons.

Governor Lindsey this afternoon transmitted to the two houses of the state legislature drafts of the emergency bills prepared by the legislative sub-committee of the War Committee.

May 2, 1967: LOS ALAMOS — Gov. David Cargo has revealed his plans to open a portion of the Indian reservations to fishermen, for the first time in history, as a part of this combined conservation-recreation expansion program. The governor did not go into detail, but named the Navajos as being involved, and said the reservation would be opened for fishing to any resident with no other charge except a fishing license.

May 2, 1992: The Santa Fe Ski Co. will not get a property tax refund as company officials had hoped.

State District Court Judge Art Encinias Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed by the company against Santa Fe County to recover nearly $64,000 in property taxes it paid to the county. Company attorneys had alleged in court documents that county assessors overvalued improvements at the 590-acre ski area during a three-year period from 1989 to 1991.

Encinias said the company failed to hand over financial documents to the county, as ordered by the court.
