Will Ask VotersrTo Approve Issuance Of
100000 Worth Highway Debentures

meeting of IL men, with state and
highway officials sitting IN, was a
lengthy one. Many different plans
were proposed but after lengthy
discussions all of them were dis
carded excepting the one to issue
debentures A number of proposals
were rejected because it was be-
lieved they should properly be con-
sidered by the legislature.
1t is proposed to issue the new
debentures callable in five years
and payable in 10 years. None of
them will be paid until after the
present outstanding highway de-
bentures are all retired, said Weld
man. The present outstanding de-
bentures are to be paid off by De-
cember 1941.
Montana has run short of funds
with which to match federal high
way money Unless an additional
three million dollars is raised, about
So 100000 in federal aid money will
be lost, or loss In highway money
of about s6,40O,0O0. BY floating the
new debentures, the federal money
will be saved to the state. 1t is
lpointed out that Montana is badly
in need of every dollar it can Sc
cure for highway purposes. The
committee was unanimously in favor
Of the debentures plan.
L. j. Onstad of Broadus was elect
ed chairman of the committee. After
the meeting he said the new de-
! bentures would be paid out of the
states gasoline tax, which would be
reduced from cents a gallon to J
cents a gallon at the end of 194l
The Scents gallon tax would be
ample to pay for the additional de-
bentures, The said.
Amy increase"in the present gaso
4 line tax is absolutely out" Chair
man Onstad said. He explained
Montana already has been crit
cized for having high priced gaso
line and any additional tax Woul'
lose thousands of dollars of touris
money to this state each year.

James E. Wilson, Great Falls re-

Cascade county commissioners.
Wilson sued the county board Tor
direct cash relief when they COM
mitted him to the county poor farm
as an INDECENT. The case, brought to
the supreme court, was settled IN
favor of Wilson on the grounds that
the present welfare act does not give
complete jurisdiction over the indi-
gent to the county commissioners,
but sets forth the amount of relief
funds that the state and county may
pay.

Well worth any baseball fans
money was the opening game on the
Libby diamond Sunday, when Lib
by defeated the Thompson Falls
team with to score. 1t was
tight baseball from start to finish
with neither team making any spec
tacular plays. =.
Helm was on the mound for the
locals, with Bleich on the receiving
end. As the score shows, Helm
pitched good game for his first
appearance before the fans and held
the visitors scoreless. He was given
able support by his team mates.
Three CCC boys, Tony" at 3rd
base, Zip" at shortstop and Slack at
center field, took care of everything
coming their way. Slack made a
sensational catch of fly after a
long run when he stretched out and
took the ball with one hand out OF
the grass.
Libby's first score came in the
first inning. w. Katarzy laid Z
bunt on the third base line and got
safely to first when Wright, Falls
pitcher, failed to field it. Katarzy
scored from third when a throw tt
the third baseman caught him nap
ping and went into the bleachers
The other three scores were scat
tered through the game.
Lefty Wright pitched for the Wis
itors and struck out a number o
Libby batters, but hits coming d
the right time resulted in scores fo
the locals.
