BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all government lands classified as coal lands should be open to entry or sale, under proper regulations, so that they may be developed, and persons taking up such coal lands be not subject to indictment. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the United States Senators and members of the House of Representatives from New Mexico are hereby requested to use their influence to remove the said restrictions, and that the Governor of New Mexico is hereby authorized and directed to appoint a committee of three representatives, citizens of New Mexico (not more than two from any one political party), to go to Washington, D. C., and aid our Senators and Representatives in presenting this Joint Memorial to President-elect Wilson and to Congress, And that the expenses of such committee of three be paid by themselves. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the presiding officers of each House of the Legislature of the State of New Mexico are hereby directed to forward to President-elect Wilson of the United States, and to the presiding officers and members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and to the Governors and presiding officers of the Legislatures of the States of Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah, copies of this Joint Memorial. ERRATA Chapter 6, page 7 and Chapter 45, Page 51, are almost word for word the same. Page 22, Section 13, line 5, "proivded" should be "provided." Page 62, Chapter 51, Section 1, seventh line, the word "premium" unnecessarily repeated. Page 63, Chapter 52, third line of Preamble reads "Chapter 49 of the Laws of 1901." This evidently refers to Chapter 49 of the Laws of 1907, which is the Irrigation Act, although both the original bill and the engrossed copy read "1901." Page 69, Chapter 55, first word in black heading after the enacting clause, "Amendment to" should read "Repeal of." Page 103, Section 16, line 3, third word, "Appeal" evidently should be "repeal" although the original bill and the engrossed copy of the Act give the word as printed. |
