Building of the municipal tour
list park, gravelling and improve
ment of the city streets, extension
of the city water system to the
cemetery, rem0deling of the the
atorium building to create a new
city hall, improvement of the or
namental lighting system, and re
pair and improvement of the city
library are to be accomplished
with funds furnished by the civil
works division of the public works
administration. Construction of 8
city airport and a new fish hatch

would provide employment fol-
more than 400 men, and if ap.
proved as planned, would bring
about an expenditure of 100000
for labor during a period of sc
days.
Special session of the Red
Lodge city council was held Mon
day night, for consideration of the
schedule of civil works activity
that was worked up under direc-
ton of O. H. p. Shelley, secretary

quick action was needed if Red
Lodge is to benefit fully from OPP
Grafton of the newly organized
civil works administration, Mr.
Shelley presented a program Of
city projects, which he had
planned with the assistance OF
Red Lodge men experienced in the
various kinds of work. One by one
the projects were brought up for
discussion, and after they had been
thoroughly explained and talked
over, were approved as a whole by
the council. The projects devised
by Mr.. Shelley and his helpers, as
outlined to the council, are briefly
described here.
All projects are calculated In
terms of man-days, not dollars
The amounts allotted by the civil
works board, it is specified, viii
allow 20 per cent of the money
and only 20 per cent, for mater
ials, 80 per cent of the funds to be
spent on wages.

About 80 relief workers, under
George Headington, have beer

machinery, to put the grounds il

of cabins.
Plans of d. M. Marine are fol
so lodges, and four other build

which, it is commonly agreed, ar,
greatly in need of such, was of
fered as the second job. The plal
is TO spread a f0ur-incn course o.
gravel on every street in the city
with the exception of the Broad
way avenue pavement.
William Burke, civil engineer
told the council that 1880 cubi
yards of gravel would be suffic
