The past 100 years

From The Santa Fe New Mexican:

Dec. 15, 1917: Santa Fe and all the cities of the country are to observe two so-called “lightless nights” each week, beginning tomorrow, Sunday. Thursday is the other night of darkness.

As the food administration has called upon the people to help the allies and themselves by observing two so-called meatless and wheatless days each week, so the fuel administration now asks that Thursday and Sunday nights be free from a waste of electricity, thus diminishing the consumption of fuel.

Dec. 15, 1967: Santa Fe last night got its share of the state’s two-day snowstorm ranging from 3 inches at the airport and 6 inches and 7 inches downtown.

The Albuquerque Weather Bureau forecast more snow for Santa Fe today, the third day of New Mexico’s most severe storm in several winters.

Dec. 15, 1992: State government will have $30 million more this fiscal year than projected last December and will have $100 million in additional revenue in 1993-94, the Legislative Finance Committee was told Monday. Finance and Administration Secretary Kay Marr painted a relatively rosy view of New Mexico’s short-term financial standing for the LFC. Her report included predictions that New Mexico’s employment and personal income growth will be above the national average through mid-1994.
