vicinity was S2,380.20 and ii is said the
CWA payroll in Libby for this month
will total $4,000 A few weeks ago THIS
newspaper pointed out that Lincoln
county had received in relief money
during the past 13 months S48,285, and
of this amount Libby received its just
share.
The argument is brought forward by
city hall proponents that it behoves the
city to do its part in the reconstruction
program if it expects to still continue
receiving liberal donations from federal
funds. The further argument is that the
building of new city hall will provide
labor and market for materials, all
helping in the program looking toward
better business conditions. If the city
is content to sit down and do nothing
but absorb more and more of federal
funds, it is suggested that the powers
having the giving out of this money
may tighten the purse strings on
the grounds that civic selfishness de-
serves no more OF course, it is gener-
ally conceded that the present city hall
is disgrace to any community, say
those who would like to see new civic
building.
Help Cut Expenses.
E. E. Jaqueth, president of the Libby
Commercial club, reports that the club
will provide judges and clerks for the
special election free of charge. The club
has gone on record in favor Of the city
hall proposal, as has also the Lions
club, by unanimous vote at its Monday
night meeting.
This question will undoubtedly bring
forth considerable discussion during the
next few weeks, which will be reported
by further articles in this newspaper
between now and the date of the cleo
; ton

Chicago, April 26.-(R-Fears of
renewed liquidation of May con-
tracts did good deal to make grains
average lower Thursday. but did not
prevent rallies at the last.
Late rallies were ascribed largely
to persistent dry weather complaints.
On the other hand. disappointment
was expressed over conference
agreement at Washington to enforce
3 cent tax per 500 valuation on
commodity exchange futures trans
actions. whereas the senate had pro-
posed q reduction to cent from S
cents.
Wheat closed nervous, unchanged
to Il lower compared with Wednes-
days finish. May and July both 75A-
75B: corn Is to cent down, May a.
Az, July 46la-Ss; oats unchanged
to a Oft. and provisions unchanged
to decline of cents.
A decrease OF wheat offerings took
place after the market had under
gone fractional setbacks. Absence of
rains, especially in the spring crop
belt northwest, caused traders to be
reluctant about pressing the selling
side. Bulls contended that the whole
market situationp hinged on immedi-
ate moisture, not only over the north
west but In the west and southwest,
and that unless general rains were
Forthcoming, much enlarged public
participation appeared likely.
An authoritative summary covering
domestic spring wheat states said
that. although an early start was not
necessarily essential to a satisfactory
outturn, 1t should be borne in mind
that ample moisture has usually &C.
companied cold, backward springs,
whereas the present season follows
several months Of unusually light
precipitation.
Corn and oats traders took their
cue from wheat action. Provisions
were easy.
