Home Owners Given
Hints on Insulation

The need for insulation materials
will confront the owners of many
older homes within the next few

The installation of louvres or ad-

ventilation will also aid in lower

While working on the attic it is ad-
visable to check other features not
concerned with keeping out heat
but which should have attention

Senator J. v. Weber was in
vited to attend the meeting and
spoke briefly on the danger of
joining a new organization of
which nothing was known. He
told of his acquaintanceship with
Mr.. Dehnel and of his reputation
for starting newspapers, associa-
tons and Whatnot.
''He urged the officers to re-
main with the present and recog-
nized association to affiliate with
it and to hold county unit meet
ings frequently. Legislators al
ways like to deal with officers of
organizations that are known to
be in good standing he said.
"Weber said that if the new or
ganization's plan was to dissolve
the township system and further
contralize government that it was
headed for failure and said that
he did not believe that the 1egis-
lature could ever do away with
the township form of govern
ment."

MORGAN PROJECT
TO COST $4,000

Morgan = Improvements made
in plans for the library and mus
cum and the bandStand to be
erected here as a memorial to the
late G. D. Gilfillan, will run cost
of the project to about $35, 200. An
additional PWA grant will be
asked.
The village council, through
whom C. O. Gilfillan is sponsor
ing the project as a gift to the
public, received bids Thursday
and found j. A. Franzin of Min
neapolis was the low bidder, his
proposal being $3l,950.
Lang & Mahal of Redwood
Falls was second low, their bid
being $32,620. The bid of Charles
H. Schmidt of Springfield was
$35, 608, while the bid of another
Minneapolis firm, Derereux-Ol-
son Construction Company was
for $35,608.
In each proposal there were al
ternate proposals, where cement
could be substituted for terrazo
floors and stairs and terrazo
waincoting and DEDUCTION made
for furniture.
None of the alternates were
adopted. The base bid of j. A.
Franzin was recommended to the
Public Works Administration for
acceptance.
Although the base bid is barely
under $4,000, the total cost will
be about $4,000 more, as there
must be added the architects fees
and supervisory cost, attorneys
fees, PWA supervisory cost, eX-
cavation expense and other pre-
liminary costs.

Sales Tax Is Nub Of

ponents of transferring money from

whole case on the so-called "applica-
ton of the sales tax to the selling
price of gasoline" and the contin-
gent diversion permission is contain
ID in the subsection (b) of Sec. 4O6
If Schedule e (sales taxi of the cur
rent revenue bill
Perhaps readers will have to call in
a lawyer or two after reading the sec
ton, but here it is, anyway:
1T is not the intent of this article
to exempt gasoline from the retail
sales tax levied in this article, nor is
it considered expedient to levy a tax
upon the Wholesale distribution of gas
oline. payable at the source of distri-
button, and an additional tax upon
the retail sale. Therefore, to carry out
the intent of this article, a proper
ton of the tax of six cents per gal
lon, to be determined in the manner
herein set out, shall be deemed in
satisfaction of the tax upon retail
sales levied in this article.
1.-The director of the budget, the
chairman of the highway commission
and the commissioner of revenue shall
in the first fifteen days of each quar-
terly period, determine the total a
mount of gasoline sold in the State
in the preceding three months, and
the average retail price, inclusive of
gasoline tax, and on this basis COM
pute the amount of tax liability az
the rate of tax levied in this article
on retail sales, and the sum so COM
puted shall be deducted from the tax
of six cents per gallon and credited
by the State treasurer to the sales tax
revenue levied in this article. These
sums shall be available only after full
provision is made for the expenses of
collecting highway revenues, for the
administration of the Highway and
Public Works Commission, for the
service of the debt, and Off reason
able maintenance of State and county
highways, nor shall the application
herein made become available to the
general fund unless the Director of
the Budget shall find such sum to be
reasonably necessary to meet appro-
priatiOns from the general fund. TO
amount so allocated to the general
fund shall not be transferred rrotn
the Highway fund, or become a de-
finite charge against it until the sur
plus in the general fund at the end
OF, the present fiscal year, together
with current revenues, snail have ex-
hausted, or until the Director of the
Budget shall find as fact that such
transfer is necessary to prevent a de-
ficit in the general fund. nor shall
such transfer or any part thereof be
made until the appropriations from
the Highway Fund, hereinabove re-
ferred to have been provided for In
constructing this provision the Di-
rector of the Budget shall not be re-
quired to take into account an in
cidental credit balance of the general
fund"
And so that's what the shooting's
all about.
