Montana counties may supple
ment payments of old age assist
ance and aid to dependent children
from general relief funds if avail
able, Attorney General II. ]. Free
bourn ruled for County Attorney
Phil G. Greenan of Cascade coun-
ty. The opinion was sent to the
Great Falls attorney in response
to a query which grew out of the
reduction Of those payments for April
and May.
The attorney general also held
grants In aid received by the counties
from the state become county funds
when appropriated by the counties
through adoption of emergency budg-
cts as provided for in the state public
welfare act.
Such county funds for general relief
may be used to supplement the other
two forms of assistance, he held under
serted by the 1889 legislature which
said those funds might be used for
any relief activity lawfully conducted
by the county.
The Cascade county attorney had
called attention to the fact that be-
cause of the recent reductions of 20
percent from the usual payments,
which original grant was based on
need and represented q minimum sum
sufficient to maintain the recipient in
decency and health" the standard of
living Of those recipients has neces-
.sarily been lowered"
Prior to the amending of the act
by the 1889 assembly, the grants in
aid from state funds could be used
only for purposes of general relief and
could not be used for medical care,
disqualification or institutional care.
The amendment, however, author
lied the counties to appropriate grants
of state funds "for the various classes
of expenditures from the poor fund for
which the grant in aid was made by
the state department" and authorized
counties to adopt emergency budgets
for such expenditures.
upon appropriation of the grant,
through the adoption of the emer-
gency budget, these state funds become
county funds and If made for general
relief may be used by the county in
payment of general relief assistance, .
the attorney generals opinion held.
It continued that it is the legal and
financial responsibility of the coum-
ties to provide adequate relief accord
ing to standards established by the
state department and to the extent of
county funds available.
when county funds are exhausted,
it then becomes the duty of the state
to aid the county in providing 'ade-
quate relief to persons in need" the
opinion stated.

Helena's famed old fire tower
on Tower hill will be restored,
Miss Marguerite Greenfield, presi-
dent of the Helena Landmarks as
ISOLATION, has announced. The
first bell to be used-an historic
relic which came up the Missouri
river on a steambOat-was for
mally presented to city officials
by Mayor Julius Wuerthner OF
Great Falls. 1t had been purchased by
Great Falls years ago and us return
to Helena was voted by the GreaE
Falls city council as gesture o. ,. guy
will and interest in this city's diamond
Jubilee celebration Miss Greenfield
said that restoration of the fire tower
will be completed within the immedi-
This work is made possible first
through the many large and small sub
scriptions received when the aSsocia-
ton began work after the earthquakes
in 1885, said Miss Greenfield.
1.-The first donations were devoted
to reinforcing the corners OF the old
bell tower with heavy concrete under
pinnings although the solid rock used
by the builders made a good natural
base.
Booklets Are Sold
"Then booklets giving the history OF
the tower from the earliest days OF the
gulch and many colorful incidents
during the long years the fire tower
has stood guard over Helena and her
destiny were printed.
THE fire tower was more than
guard, 1t was the social center OF the
city. Here the beaus and bellies Of the
seventies and the eighties were wont
to meet and exchange the news OF the
day and the sweet nothings OF ro-
nance.
1.-THE rank and file of Helena, nearly
all the labor unions, most OF the So
cieties and lodges contributed to the
funds of the association. Loyal Helena
ties, many of them gone years from
the city, sent in subscriptions.
But even if the response was gen
eral and from civic standpoint most
gratifying the Landmarks association
still lacked enough to complete the
work
"But through the generosity and be-
cause of the love and generation OF
those who cherish the tower enough
money has been put in the hands OF
the association to complete everything
but the incidental work.

Clipper but hungry, the lanky
cowboy said upon his arrival that he
is now convinced that he should make
a similar trip to the San Francisco

Because manufactured rubber shoes
for the horses did not arrive at Glen
dive In time for the start Of the jaunt,
Holzworth made several sets from
tires. These were found to be quite
unsatisfactory, he said, since the layers
of rubber wore quickly and looSened

The three horses used nine sets Of

him to the various stops. All horses
were bays, ranging from 300 to 1900
