commission READY
TO ADJUST THE
FINANCES r.
MlSSOuLA MINERAL PROPERTY
TO BE APPRAISED AND SET
ELEMENT MADE

The commission appointed by Gov
ernor Stewart to make the financial
adjustment between Missoula and Min
eral counties took up it's work here
yesterday. The members of the
commission are Judge r. Lee McCul-
loch of Hamilton, Ed Riberdy of St.
Regis, and ]. Nj. Price of Missoula.
They met at Superior in Mineral
county Wednesday and organized, Sc
lecting Judge McCuiloch chairman.
Today they appointed Miss Tilton, a
we'll known stenographer of this city,
secretary.
Confer With Boards.
Yesterday the commission held a
conference with the boards of COM
missioners from both Missoula and
here. After a general discussion of
the plan of action to be followed in
the work of the commission, which Is
to appraise the county property, de-
termine Indebtedness and apportion
this between the mother county and
her child, one particular point was
given special attention.
Are They Assets?
This concerned county roads and
bridges. Whether or not roads and
bridges should be considered q county
asset is a question that was not defi-
nitely settled in the minds of the COM
mission, even after the discussion
took place. The Misoula county
board takes the stand that roads
should not be included and that, un
less bonds were issued for the con-
structon of the bridges, they should
also be excluded County Attorney
Heyfron gave this as his opinion in
the matter at the session this morn
ing. He argued that one state su
preme court decision held highways
not to be a county asset; that another
decision held county bridges to be a
part of a county highway. There
fore, both roads and bridges should
be excluded
The Exception.
However, in case bonds We're issued
for the construction of a bridge, such
bonds are part of the county's indebt-
edness. To balance this Indebtedness
the particular bridge for which bonds
We're issued becomes a proper item in
the asset column.
The commission appointed by the
governor will adjust these matters in
the light of its own Judgment how
ever, neither county having any say
in the questions involved until after
the report of the commission is filed.
No trouble is anticipated by either
board. There is every evidence of a
desire on both sides to be fair. Un-
deubtedly the commission will call
both boards in consultation as it's
work proceeds that its final report
may be satisfactory to both counties,
Chairman McCulloch said last even
ing that the commission had written
Attorney General Kelly for opinion as
to under what circumstances county
set items. The commission will meet
again today. County officers have
been asked to prepare some needed
information and it is thought that
this win be in the hands of the COM
mission by next Tuesday The final
report should be ready some time next
week
