WILL BROADCAST
PUBLICITY MATTER

HELENA, March 81. Especially For
the first time in her history the State
of Montana has embarked on program
designed to present to the people of
the United States her wonderful recre-
ational and vocational possibilities and
is actually inviting them to come to
Montana. Following meeting of a
statewide advertising committee of
Montanans, Inc, held in Helena, Sun
day, March "a, a smaller executive
committee met here on Thursday and
after considering the suggestions and
plans submitted to the larger meeting,
definitely decided on the lines which
will be followed in the states first
united advertising effort to secure tour
ist business
The executive committee consisting of
c. w. Towne of Butte; Warren Davis
of Missoula; Eugene MacKinnon of
Billings; Les Hanson of Glasgow, and
E. A. Dye of Great Falls, heard the
various plans of advertising men, read
over the suggestions emanating from
the meeting of the state advertising
committee and selected the following
lines of work:
Contact Tourist Bureaus.
1t was decided that one of the most
important things to be done was to
contact the agencies actually routing
the tourists and supplying them with
information as to roads and what Mon
tana offers the tourist. 1t was brought
out before the committee that even our
next-door neighbors were uniformed
as to the great progress which Mon
tana has made in the past few years
and were unaware that practically
every foot of the main highways of the
state is oiled and in perfect condition.

Lincoln County Court House Bonds
Must Be Tested In Supreme Court

is somewhat ambiguous in terms, but
he is inclined to think the resolution
would be sufficient. {2) The resolution
says nothing about interest, while the
ballot stipulated 4 per cent. That Is
somewhat of departure from the usual
practice in the form of the ballot.
Thinks this should be submitted to the
supreme court (3) Raises point as to
what law applies to the proceedings.
Mostly a technical point. (4 The orig
inal resolution, notice OF election and
ballots limits the bonds to amortization
bonds. The attorney general says this
appears to be contrary to Chapter 1873,
Sec. IA and Sec 15 The attorney gen.
eral raises the question whether or not
submission of issuance Of amortization
bonds-with no mention made of serial
bonds-renders the proceedings invalid.
The attorney general considers this the
most serious question as to the bonds
legality
Failure to secure approval of the
bonds by the attorney general means
that test case will have to be carried
to the supreme court Just what pro-
cedure will be followed in this respect
has not yet been decided. 1t is planned
to start the necessary action as soon
as possible. This will mean a delay of
from three to six months, says County
Attorney Murray.
In view of the uncertainty as to the
legality of the bond issue the county
commissioners postponed until later
date any decision as to site for the new
building.
