THE PAST 100 YEARS

From the Santa Fe New Mexican:

Sept. 22, 1919: Governor Larrazolo is to speak at Abiquiu tonight and then will return to Santa Fe.

Miss Sue Norment has been appointed stenographer in the office of public health at the capitol.

Sept. 22, 1969: The careers of New Mexico State Penitentiary warden J.E. Baker and his deputy Felix Rodriguez may be at stake today pending the outcome of a district court hearing in Santa Fe.

A prison inmate has accused the two prison officials with contempt of court for allegedly refusing to comply with a court order issued by Dist. Judge James M. Scarborough.

Sept. 22, 1994: An order by Santa Fe Municipal Court Judge Tom Fiorina that several court employees leave the courthouse during the lunch hour was reversed Wednesday by City Manager Ike Pino.

Pino said the judge’s order, which forces several employees to eat their lunches outside, was inappropriate and would not be allowed to continue.

Pino gave verbal orders to court records manager Dolores Baca on Wednesday afternoon to ignore Fiorina’s order, which was stated in a memo dated Sept. 16.

Sept. 22, 1994: Santa Fe is succeeding in its fat-finding mission.

Grease gobs in the city’s sewer system, which cause costly cogs, have been greatly reduced, recent tests show.

Earlier this year the water quality division tested most city restaurants and identified about 150 as having too much grease in their sewer water, a problem often caused by inadequate grease traps or improper grease-trap cleaning.

The city told the restaurants that tested above acceptable levels that beginning in October, they would pay penalties for too much fat.
