purchased the exchanges at Troy and
Libby, Montana, October /, 1922, they
were confronted with very serious
problem, that of long distance service.
1t SO happened that study of the long
distance service at these two exchanges
showed very poor returns. An investi-
cation brought out the fact that large
percentage of the business men in
Libby were refusing telephone calls
from points beyond Troy, Montana, be-
cause of the fact that they were I'M
able to hear. The trouble was located
in the ground at Troy, Montana. So we
Immediately put in new ground. The
service was improved and the circuits
talked up very we'll for a matter of Q
few days; then the old trouble came
back again. The ground rod was re-
moved. and it was found that it was
coated with yellowish- white powder
Right in back of the office was ar

deep. Our engineers took an 18-foo'
ground rod and sunk it in the bottom

the camp is located
It will be remembered that the power
plant at this property was completed
last fall, and air lines laid from the
power house to the veins. A heavy
fall of snow then made advisable post
ponement of further work until spring.
The company is now ready to start
the seasons development work. All
that is necessary, it is said, is to hook
on the drills TO the airlines from the
power house

Health matters called forth consid-
cradle discussion. II was found there
is still a certain amount Of milk that
IS beirr hootlauged into the city, con-
trary to ordinance The health commit
tee was instructed to investigate and
cause arrests and prosecutions where
the ordinance is being violated
The council also ordered that all
outside toilets that are reported in bad
condition be connected with the
sewar' system at once
City officials feel that wise sten
was taLen about two years ago in the
matters and they feel it would be most
ur'uise TO let matters slip back, by
carlessness into former conditions
A committee of firenen consistinp OF
Fire Chief Hoffman and Assistant Chief
Royes. appeared in. behalf of new
citv hall and fire truck. After consd-
cradle discussion it was agreed that
the firemens committee and the coun-
Gil committee should continue their in
vestieations until August when the
council will be ready to take definite
action The council will be exception
ally busy between now and August
next working out budget for the
ensuing year and doing routine work
@rd cisv officials were opposed to at
tempting any new undertaking of con-
siderable magnitude at this time.
1t has been determined that the first
requisite in this connection is to re-
duce the gross amount needed to a
roint that can be handled legally by
the city Previous estimates have been
more than the citv could meet The
time intervening between now and
AUGUST can be used in working out
costs and estimates and perfecting
plans with that idea in mind.
The ordinance committee was in

was instructed to eliminate u turns at

ing expenditures of the city from July

exclusive of interest payments) &c.
26461. The expenditures for similar
period ending April l, 1881. were ST.
1913. That shows a reduction in city
expenditures in the year of 1891. AZ
which is ample proof that the present
city administration is making fine
record in keeping down expenses and
reducing the city's indebtedness.
