New Mexico?s second century of statehood began with the loud sound of vehicle horns and locomotive whistles in downtown Albuquerque Friday.
The loud noise followed Mayor Richard Berry?s proclamation at 11:35a.m., the precise moment President William H. Taft signed the proclamation making New Mexico the 47th state of the United States of American in 1912.
??A hundred year ago, President Taft signed New Mexico into statehood with the words, ?I am glad to give you life and I trust that you will be healthy?,? said Mayor Richard J. Berry.
The event was organized by the ABQ Ride, who also used the event to celebrate the legacy of the legacy of the old Alvarado Hotel.
