COUNTY PATIENTS CAN
SELECT OWN DOCTORS

County commissioners are
not empowered to force relief
clients to p%atronize designated
doctors in order to receive hos
pitalization at county EXPENSE,
according to an opinion by At

The opinion pointed out that
investigators Of the county wei
fare department are to deter

then the county pays the bal
ance. The county physician
can not force his services ON
relief clients because they are
receiving aid from the county
and using the county, hospital.

MOVE RECORD
OIL v0LUM

Montana refinery throughput
jumped up 25 per cent during the
month of May. according to the
monthly statistical table issued by
the Oil Conservation Board of Mon
tana. This increase results from the
resumption of refineries which had
been shut down for annual over
haul, chiefly the International Re-
filming Co. plant at Sunburst, which
has been running at full capacity
since the last part of April
Total Montana refinery consump-
tion In May was 1881 barrels
compared with 315,252 barrels in
April Total market, including ex-
ports, totaled 574,937 barrels In
May against a total production OF
504,415 barrels. The market was
made up of 475,391 barrels used
in Montana refineries, 1889 bar
rels shipped to Canada and $500
barrels shipped to other states,
chiefly Idaho and washington. The
latter figure showed a decline In
May, from 1926 barrels in April
combined with the use of
oil in the Pocatello re-
'inery was blamed for this loss.
Production showed slight gain,
.otaling 504,415 barrels in May
md 496,169 barrels in April. Cut !
Bank field showed most OF this I
rain while Kevin-Sunburst produc-
ion dropped off nearly 5000 bar
els. Cut Bank production gained
.bout $4,000 barrels mounting
rom 2S0.334 barrels in April to
94,499 barrels in May.
Total storage in the state declin- !
d from 1.422,282 barrels in April
