SEEK TO HAVE COUNTY
REIMBURSED FOR ROADS

Scott p Hart, formerly county
engineer and surveyor, and now a
state highway engineer has taken
an active interest in bringing
about an equitable relation be-
tween Roosevelt county and the
federal bureau of roads concern
ing the expense of building the
roads across unpatented Indian
lands within the county. Former
ly the law was such that the coun-
ty bore an equal portion of the
expense, but this is manifestly un-
just since such land yields no
revenue to the county.
Mr.. Hart has gone exhaustively
into the matter and enlisted the
services Of Congressman Scott
Leavitt who will introduce bill
providing for the whole expense
.of roads built and to be built
over Indian lands to be borne by
the federal government. The
county would benefit by the pas
sage Of such a measure to the ex-
tent Of approximately $4,000.
Congressman Leavitt expects to
secure the passage Of the bill al.
though there may not be time dur
ing the present session.

where they will make their future
home. Mr.. Mcneil has been trans
ferred from the local power COM
pany's plant to Fairview where he

new COURT RULING
AFFECTS VETERANS

An Associated Press dispatch
from Portland, Ore, dated April %
says that Federal Judge Wolver-
ton has ruled that under Section
396 Of the Veterans Act of 1924
the war risk insurance policy of
any former service man who has
a temporary disability rating dur
ing the life of the policy, does not
lapse through failure of the vet
eran to pay premiums. The rul-
ing was said to be the first of its
nature in the United States and
observers of the case estimated
that it would automatically put
approximately s1,000,000,00 0.0O
worth of war risk insurance poll
cies back into effect.

TWO BUSINESS STREETS WILL Be
HARD SURFACED This SUMMER
Work To Be Done While State Highway Is Extended
Through City-Big Saving In Cost through Far
ticipation of State-Engineer Hart Assists
Power Company Sewers Financial Knot-Team
Work By Council And Commercial Club

Two civic enterprises that should
prove of large Importance to the
city were consumated Tuesday
through cooperation among the
city council, the Commercial club,
the bureau of Public Roads, rep
resented by Engineer Hart, and
the Montana-Dakota Power Com
pany, represented by Warren Jen-
nison, it's general manager. The
history of these deals, which are
the contracting for electrical en-
ergy by the city and the surfacing
of Main and Anaconda streets and
a short section of First avenue,
is included within the minutes of
several sessions of the city coun-
Gil. But since the information
found in the proceedings is neces-
sarily couched in official language
a direct explanation of just what
happened and how it was brought
about will doubtless be appropri-
ate.
Real Cooperation
Taken altogether the work of
Monday and Tuesday was a strik-
ing illustration of what may be
accomplished through earnest team
work. Engineer Hart notified the
Commercial club that bids were
about to be called for to extend
the state highway from the eastern
limits of the city to Frazer, and
offered to furnish estimates of
what the work would cost the city
for the highway strip through
Main street, and also for having
the remaining surface of the bus
mess streets graveled with crush
ed and screened gravel, at the
same time that the highway work
was done. Since the bureau of
roads intended advertising for bids
at once with a view to opening
such bids on May Is it would be
necessary that they be advised on
the twenty-seventh whether this
city desires to have their work in
cluded in the specifications. At a
general meeting of the CONNER
cial club attended by about %
members, Monday morning at the
Sherman, Mr.. Hart gave his esti-
mates and explained details of the
work in full. The highway, he
said, not exceeding 18 feet in
width would extend through the
city on Main street and would be
constructed of inches of pre-
pared material. In this work the
bureau would participate in the
cost to the extent of Sc and a
fraction per cent, leaving 43 and
a fraction for the city to bear. The
estimate to the city Of this strip
would be approximately $1,000.
The remaining portion Of the
streets would be surfaced with 4
inches of the crushed material and
was estimated at a cost of around
$4,000. The actual final cost, Of
course, depending on the bids that
were received, which Mr.. Hart
said might go under or over his
estimates.
