REJECT PLAN To
REPAIR Main ST.
Majority Of Property Owners
File Protests - Bond Issue
Seems Only Alternative

No special improvement district
will be created to provide for financ-
ing repairs for Main street. Protests
from property owners representing
TAG per cent Of the area proposed to
be included have been filed, it was
disclosed last Friday evening at a
regular meeting Of the city commits
sion. To create the district, approval
Of owners of go per cent of the prep
erty affected would be required.
Because of the failure Of the i'm
prOvement district project, prospects
for putting Main street in better on
ditiOn are somewhat dim, according to
Fred M. Brown, city manager. About
the only alternative is a bond issue,
which would require submission of
the question to the electorate. Wheth-
er action along that line will be taken
has not yet been determined.
Burden Too Heavy
The overwhelming defeat by Main
street property owners of the i'm
prOvement district plan of providing
for the necessary resurfacing Of the
thOroughfare was based on the con-
tentiOn that it placed an unjust and
unnecessarily heavy burden upon
them for a work that equally bene-
fitted every resident of the city. It
was argued that the owners of abut-
ting property had already paid for
the original paving and for enc job
Of ~resuracing, and that the completed
7 repairs constituted an expenditure
for maintenance only and should be
borne by the taxpayers.
Members of the city commission
have already pointed out that no
funds are available with which to do
the work, and expressed doubt as to
their power to make such an expendi-
ture without authority from the
. voters. 1t has been further declared
that the city's tax levy is periOusly
near the lawful limit; that to raise
% the necessary cost, nearly $4,000,
> would require an additional levy of
" approximately II mills, and that such
y a levy cannot be made. Therefore
" the only recourse is a 1O-year bond
% issue, to be taken care Of by a pro
10 p%ortiOnate yearly increase in tax
revenue.
- Must Wait Six Months

cial improvement district for the re.

Plenty of Rain In Most Sections
of State-Indicated Fruit
Yield Very Heavy

HELENA.-With the exception of
Prairie and portions Of Fallon and
adjacent counties, weather conditions
r favorable for heavy crops, the
report issued May Is, by the depart
ment of agriculture in cooperation
with the Montana Extension service,
says.
In all other sections of the state
crop conditions are excellent. Seed
ing of spring grains is about COM
pleted. Landing is almost over with
light losses caused by the snowfall
in Gallatin county. Shearing of
small flocks was started last week.
Livestock generally is in good shape.
Calving is well under way with good
crops reported. Corn planting is
starting. Flowing for summer fallow
has begun with indications of above
a normal acreage to be fallowed.
Potato planting is about completed,
In the sugar beet sections thinning Of
beets is starting.
A light frost visited Ravalli and
Sanders counties recently, but the
apple orchards apparently escaped
damage. The apple bloom is re-
ported to be the heaviest ever
known in the orchard growing Sec
tions of the state and from present
indications the fruit crop will be the

upward soaring demand during Jan
uary, February, March, April and
May drove the total sales and produc-
ton to a figure approximately 70 per
cent Of the total sales for the whole
of last year.
The Nash light six plant at Ra-
cine, Wise, was equipped a year ago
with brand-new machinery of the
latest pattern and design known to
the automobile industry. Because Of
the demand for the product, additional
machinery was installed early this
year and production facilities in
creased 100 per cent.
Manufacturing facilities for the
Nash light six are again increased
because Of this consolidation.
Nash models are now available IN
three series-the light six, special six
and advanced six.
