Proposed Bill
To Provide Money
For Mine Roads
Measure Now Before Congress Would
Aid in Development of
Important Industry.

There is a bill before congress that.
if enacted into law, will be of material
aid in developing new mining proper
ties, Representative Compton B. White
of Idaho is father of measure to APP
propriate large sum for the building
Of roads by government agencies into
promising mining properties.
4 shall be glad to take up the build
ing Of roads into designated Lincoln
county properties whenever the money
therefor is provided by this bill or
through any other MEANS said Super
visor c. S. Webb of the local forest
service, in discussing the bill Monday.
Heretofore it has been impossible
for me to do that" continued Mr..
Webb, for the reason that no funds
have been available"
Mr. Webb proceeded to explain that
all forest work is planned out in adj
vance, a program is submitted and sums
allotted for certain designated purposes
That money must then be expended
according to the program and for nc
other purpose. Naturally such system
leaves no money for roads to mines
But under the proposed law money
would become available for road con-
struction to mines and for no other
purpose Many of such roads would alss
be Of more or less value to the fores
service, said Mr.. Webb.

Two School Trustees
To Be Elected April 6

The annual election of school di-
rectors will come on Saturday, April 6,
at which time two directors are to be
elected for the Libby schools. Those
whose terms expire are Mrs. w. F.
Kienitz and Mr.. Joe Kujawa. Mrs.
Kienitz has served on the board for
nine years and says she will not con-
slider another term. She has been a
faithful and valuable member of the
board during that time and justly feels
that she has performed her duty. Mr..
Kujawa has served only one term and
says he will stand for reelection. He
as first did not intend to do so, but
upon the urging of some of the citizens
consented to serve again if the people
desire it.
At present no other candidates have
announced themselves. Directors are
elected for term of three years.

For Federal

Lions Start Ball Rolling for
Another Civic Improve
ment in Libby.
TRANSLATES MUCH
IMPORTANT BUSINESS

An attempt will be made to secure a
federal building for Libby. Action was
taken to that effect by the Lions club.
in session Monday night at the Turner
Tavern. The committee that has worked
so successfully for a new court house
was appointed to carry on in this new
endeavor and to secure if possible an
other fine building for Libby The COM
mittee is composed of L. S. Welch,
chairman, and ]. A. Krall, Carleton
Joughin, Paul Church, Lud Ludvikson.
The federal building proposal brought
out a discussion in which number
took part, all expressing themselves
in favor of the project Such build
ing, if secured, would be erected and
owned by the federal government and
would provide quarters for all federal
activities now located here, including
the postoffice, the forest service and the
relief and employment offices as
long as the latter two are maintained.
Rents paid annually by these depart
ments total at the present time some
thing over 5000, it was stated. Capital

able structure could probably be con-
structed for smaller sum. The sum
paid in present rents, converted into
payments on the building, would prob
ably pay for the structure over period
of years, figured on the amortization
plan. The club voted the sum of SIS
for use of the committee in meeting
expenses
Those who spoke favoring the pro-
posal were William Herbert, c. S.

Double Piano Recital
Highly Complimented

The double piano recital given last
Friday night by pupils of Mr.. Louis E.
Des Voignes was a decided treat for
lovers of music. That there is goodly
number of them in Libby was evil
denced by the attendance, which filled
the main auditorium of the Presby-
terrain church. The pupils taking part
in the recital were Miss Jean Heuck,
Mrs. Roger Billings and Miss Inez
Ratekin OF Libby and Miss Lucille Will
son of Bonners Ferry. Two selections
were also given by Mr.. and Mrs. Des
Voignes.
The entire program, from the first to
the last numbers, has called forth gen
erous compliments from those pres
ent. This is the second recital given by
Mr.. Des Voignes' pupils and future
ones will be looked forward to with
pleasant anticipation.

One of the most important things to
engage the attention of the county COM
missioners this week was designating
a site for the proposed new court
house. There has developed in Libby
quite a strong desire that the hand
some new building be built at the
south end of Mineral avenue, site that
would make the building and grounds
visible the entire length of Mineral
avenue and would also be- close to the
junction of u S. highway No. and
the highway from the north. 1t would
thus come within the notice of passing
tourists and leave a good impression.

Location Of New Court House
Causes Difference Of Opinion

These people also argue that the new
location is far superior from the stand
point of civic Identification; that the
old location is unattractive and the
surroundings not what they should be
for a fine public building.
A vote as to choice of location was
taken by the Lions club, the CONNER
cial club. the Libby Woman's club and
in every instance the vote was heavily
in favor of the new location. In re-
Spouse to that vote representatives of
these organizations appeared before the
county commissioners Wednesday after
noon and placed there desires before
them. Those appearing before the COM
missioners were L. S. Welch, J. A.
Krall Harold Miller, J. T. Brindley, DIR.
J. M Cairns, E. J. Driear, Paul Church,
Lud Ludvikson and Mrs. Harold Miller
Frank Pival, owner of the proposed
site, has agreed to donate to the county
for court house purposes tract of land
fully as large as the block where the
old building now stands, this to be an
absolute gift
A<LA0A 40NoboA ASOANGA~
In the meantime serious and i'm
portant legal question entered the dis
cussion. The proposed new site is not
yet within the city limits and some
contend that the county commissioners
cannot legally place the court house
without the corporate limits of Libby,
the designated county seat. Those fav-
oring the new site relpy that the tract
could and would be taken into the
city Immediately, and it is understood
the city council has agreed to SO act if
that site is chosen However, that is a
delicate legal matter and County At
torney Murray is delving into the law
and legal authorities regarding that
matter.
To give time for a careful study of
this phase of the problem the commits
sioners have postponed decision until
March Is when they will meet to open
bids for the court house bonds
Opposition Develops.
Opposition has also developed to
changing the court house from its pres
ent site, and petition signed by Is
citizens was presented to the commits
sioners. Those fayoring the present
location argue that the proposed new
site is too far from the business section
of the city, and also that people from
west and east Libby would have to
walk too far whenever they desired to
patronize the library. People from south
Libby, coming to the stores and the
postoffice, could reach the library with
out much additional effort, they argue
