Libby Road
Project Is
Badly Cut
Work This Fall Will Extend
To Granite Creek
Only.
MINERAL AVENUE
WILL BE IMPROVED

Libby has been fondly expecting a
10 to 12-mile highway project this fall
extending southwark from the city
This fond expectation was caused by
more or less direct promises from the
powers that be, and assurances that
such a contract would be let this sea-
son. It was said the money was avail
able.
But aforesaid fond expectation will
be only partly realized, it now develops
Somebody else wanted the money that
was to 90 into the Libby project and
SO most of it has been diverted to the
building of bridge east Of Kalispell
At least that is the rather well-authen-
ticated story told Libby men by certain
highway officials.
According to announcements made
by the state highway commission, con-
tracts will be let on October Is for Is
highway and bridge construction prof.
ects involving an expenditure of $685.
600. Libby gets small slice of this the
10 to II mile project having been cut
down to a little less than four miles
The Libby work will consist of grading
.graveling and surfacing with crushed

avenue to Ninth street and from there
out to Granite creek, where combina-
ton steel mad timber bridge will be
built. The surfact of the highway will
be oil treated The entire length of the
project will be 1857 miles,
An Associated Press article under a
Helena date line listed the Libby prof.
ect as follows:
Grading, surfacing with gravel sub
base material and with crushed gravel
to course, the road mix oil treatment
of the surface course, and the construc-
ton of small drainage structures on the

at Ninth street and extending .o24 mile
northerly to First street.

matter of lack of proper equipment

mentioned lack of proper medical at
tendance for the boys participating in
the football and other games. He stated
that If any of the boys are injured the
parents often have to stand any ensu-
ing expense or the doctors have to do

discussion and it was finally moved
that the chair appoint committee OF

THE
Editorial

Six weeks tests have been bravely
met and masterfully dealt with, in some
cases, and, in others, they have been
miserably 'flunked." Cards have beeen
issued and there in unmistakable print
are the records of six weeks of school.
The majority of records are good but
a few as usual are very poor. Need
less to say, most falling students have
decided on a new regime. 1t seems
probable, however, that after the horror
produced by the cards has dulled, they
will return to their old light-hearted
attitude. That is, the greater mass will.
But some will take this calamity to
heart and will bend their efforts to
lettering their work. To these students
should, 90 the heartiest Of congratula-
tons They deserve the utmost one can
offer In encouragement and help. In
4stead Of lsnghinE and ridieuling thau,,
all should give them credit for thu
perseverance and determination to
change their position.
