Iron Out Differences
On Bridge Matters

Forest Supervisor Klehm and
County Attorney Long were at Mis-
soula this week where they took up
with regional forest office officials
the cooperative agreement between
the forest service and Lincoln coun-
ty relative to building of the War
land bridge The county commits
sioners refused to sign the original
agreement, upon the advise of Mr..
Long, because of a difference of
opinion concerning some of its stip-
ulations.
The agreement was revamped at
Missoula SO as fully to meet Mr..
Longs approval. The men then
went to Helena and submitted the
agreement to the attorney general
This was done, states Mr.. Long, so
that there would be no chance of
any trouble from that source later.
Mr.. Klehm and Mr. Long returned
to Libby yesterday and that after
noon, Mr.. Long received telegram
from the attorney general with his
approval of the agreement. The
county commissioners are to meet
Friday to act on the matter. If the
new contract meets with their APP
prevail, it will be possible to start
preliminary work on the bridge at
once
Mr.. Long states that when the
differences were pointed out to the
regional officials between the stipu-
lations in the cooperative agree
ment and the stipulations on which
the taxpayers voted at the bond
election, the regional officials saw
the point at once and readily agreed
to the necessary changes to bring
the agreement in harmony with
those in the bond election.

Sheriff Frank Baney and voIun-
teer assistants spent approximately
three hours searching for the sunk
en- automobile with grab hooks.

surface. The job was no pleasant
one as the river is now higher than
usual and of muddy color.
After the car had been taken
from the river it was disclosed, up
on close examination, that the steer
ing gear had become uncoupled
thus causing the driver to lose con-
troll of the car.

residents of the Yahk and had been
in Troy purchasing groceries They
were returning home when the ac-
cident occurred.

kin were conducted in Libby at the
