Talk Over Plans To
Finance Library Building

Ever since the movement was started
for new county library building, The
unanimous opinion has been that cree
ton of building should not be at
tempted if it would result in added ex-
pense to the taxpayers of the county.
Now that the federal government
through the PWA has allotted $4,000
for such a building, it becomes nee
essary to work out plans-if possible
SO that advantage can be taken of the
allotment without mourning added ex-
pense.
The plan now being discussed to
finance the proposed library building is
along the following lines. 1t is proposed
to transfer the site for the building,
now owned by the county, to the fed
eral government. The county would
contract with the public works associa-
ton to erect the building, with title
vested in the government The county
would then make annual payments
over series of years on the cost of
the building. Under this plan the build
ing would be paid for in Is or 20 years,
when the government would transfer
the building and site back to the coun-
ty. 1t is understood the law provides for
such procedure.
With the library in its own building
rental of $3.50 year would be saved
There would also be a saving in insur-
ance, but there would likewise be some
added expense. However, it is believed
a large enough sum could be saved so
that the proposed building could be
paid for over series of years without
mourning any added burden to the tax
payers. If that can be done, at the end
of an Is or 20 year period Tor what
ever time it would require1 the county
would own its own library building
without having been out any additional
This plan was thoroughly dis
cussed bv the county commissioners in
session Monday and County Attorney
Blackboard was instructed to take the
matter up with the Montana PWA rep
for the working out of
details.

Firearm Registration
Provisions Explained

In reply to hundreds of telephone
calls and letters from all over the
State of Minnesota requesting advice
as to who must register under the
National Firearm Act and what kind
of guns must be registered under the
National Firearm Act, Collector Wolf
desires to make public the interpret
ations of the Bureau of Internal Rev
,enue regarding who must register
and what sort of guns require regis
tration. ,e
Many are under the impression
that all kinds Of guns must be regis
tered. This is not so. The law speci-
fcally states that only guns qualified
as firearms" must be registered. The
term firearms" means a shotgun or
rifle having barrel of less than 1S
inches in length or any other weapon,
except a pistol or revolver, from
which a shot is discharged buy an ex-
plosive, if such weapon is capable of
being concealed on the person, or a
machine gun, and includes a muffler
or silencer for any firearm whether
or not such firearm is included within
the foregoing definition.
The ordinary manual loading OF
autoloading shotgun and rifle is not a
firearm within the meaning and in
tent of the. National Firearm Act,
provided it has a barrel of over 18 in
ches in length.
Pistols and revolvers are not fire.
arms under the National Firearm
Act.
Any sawed-off shot gun or rifle
with a barrel of less than 18 inches
is a firearm under the National Fire
arms Act.
Machine guns are firearms under
the National Firearms Act.
Silencers and Mufflers come under
the National Firearms Act.
Any automatic shotgun or manual
loading shotgun, any automatic rife
or manual loading rifle which has
been altered so that one pull on the
trigger discharges the entire maga-
zine capacity is classed as a machine
gun and must be registered in the
Collectors office.
This same thing is true Of pistols
and revolvers that have been altered
so that one pull on the trigger dis.
charges the entire magazine capacity
Automatic shotguns, rifles and re.
volvers as commercially manufactur.
ed, require q separate pull on the
trigger for each discharge and art
not therefore firearms or machine
guns under the National Firearn
Act, and those in possession. of the
same are not required to register
them..
The act includes 40 gauge ani
and similar shotguns, having a pisto
grip and barrel less than 18 inche:
in length..
Forns for registering such fire
arms as. are indicated by the fore
goingste be within the provisions Of
the Act may be secured from the Col
