MONTANA TO Save
MONEY BY MAKING
1928 AUTO PLATES

Montana will effect saving of
more than $4,000 annually in the cost
of motor vehicle license plates with
the completion of the factory at the
state prison at Deer Lodge while an
additional saving Of thousands of dol
lars will be made possible through
the operation of the garment factory,
according to purchasing agent Ed.
Murphy who returned recently from
trip of inspection to the factories
operated by the state of Washington
at the prison at Walla Walla.
Representative Elmer Johnson of
Glasgow, Valley county, sponsor of
the movement, and Austin Middleton,
warden of the Montana penitentiary,
accompanied Mr.. Murphy on the trip.
The last legislature appropriated
$25,000 for the auto license plate fac
tory and $4,000 for the garment fac
tory. Both will be located in a va
cant cell house at the Deer Lodge
prison, with the garment factory o
the top floor where there is an abur
dance of daylight.
The state of Washington is turning
out license plates at cost of eight
cents each, according to Mr.. Murphy,
while Montana is paying liz cents a
pair. 1t is estimated that the state
will save about four cents pair on
100000 pairs. At Walla Walla. the
plates for the state of Idaho are be-
ing manufactured and about 100 men
are thus employed. While the plates
cost eight cents they are sold to the
state there at II cents, the three
cents difference going into the gener
al fund of the state.
The proposed investment for tn,
garment factory at Deer Lodge will
not exceed $4,000 Mr.. Murphy says,
and yet will mean vast saving t
the state. The bill passed by the
legislature provides $4,000. 1t is
planned to manufacture gloves, over
alls, shirts and parole suits. We ex
pect to purchase a buttonhole ma
chine, a double needle machine and
an Eastman electric cutting machine
capable of cutting Goth for 5000
gloves at one time, 220 thicknesses
Of denim or SO thicknesses of suiting.
Montana's 1928 license plates will
be so arranged that the entire word
Montana will be arranged across
the bottom of the entire plate with
the number above it.
