206 New And
Amended Laws
Are Passed
Is Record of Montana
Legislators, Recent
Session-Many Vetoed
GOVERNOR FORD VETOES
TOTAL OF Is BILLS
Nv Edward ]. Hcilman

United Press Staff Correspondent
HELENA, March 22.-un-Mon
tanan's 9th legislative session was
history today, leaving behind It
record of 296 new or amended laws
and OF refusal to enact new taxes.
Governor Sam c. Ford officially
brought the legislative mill wheels
to stop when he vetoed bill to
create a home guard-the last OF
the. bills dumped onto his desk by
the two houses.
He said he vetoed the measure
because to allow it to become law
would be futile and because 1T
would seem to afford to the people
of the state a sense of security when
in fact no security existed The
governor pointed out, in almost ev-
cry paragraph of his veto message,
that the legislature. while passing
the home guard bill, had failed to
provide any funds by which it could
be operated. ,sThe legislature he
said, gave the governor gun for
use in an emergency, but failed and
refused to supply any ammunition. \
He pointed out that the adjutant
generals office had asked for $20,-
900 for home guard, that the house
had approved $4,000 for the pur-
pose, and that the senate cut out
the item.
During his final week OF work on
bills, the governor approved one
dividing the state into five fish and
game commissioner districts, an ap-
preparation for insurance on state
buildings, a bill making it possible
for the state to receive federal wild
life conservation funds estimated al
SOC, 900 = year; and appropriation
bills for various state institution,
and activities.
The governors approval of thu
fish and game district bill made i
mandatory that he appoint, within
so days, an entirely new fish anc
game commission The terms OF his
appointees will be staggered SO a:
to provide for new appointments
every two years.
| He approved the appropriation fol
the Greater University except fol
an ALLEGATION Of $1,000 a year fol
salaries and expenses OF experiment
stations connected with the State
College at Bozeman. He said he be
lieved fees they collected, togetheI
with federal funds, were sufficin
for their operation.
In approving the insurance ap
preparation bill, he vetoed all sec
tions except those relating to thu
actual appropriation. He said h
believed no other provisions shoult
be carried in money bills.
1 Also vetoed by the governor dur
ing the week were bills to provid
free hunting and fishing licenses TO

Regarding Roods
Commissioner Attends
Meeting at Helena, Learn
Much of Interest

County Commissioner James Ma
honey returned from Helena yester
day where he had attended meet
ing of the state highway commits
sion He brought back considerable
information that will be of interest
to Lincoln county people. In an in
tervieW with the Western News this
morning, Mr.. Mahoney said:
In my appearance before the
state highway board Tuesday, the
board announced that only high
ways under national defense could
be given priority consideration for
state funds. Thus leaving the funds
for the Libby overpass set aside and
possibly applied on the Lolo Pass
project which is national defense
project in southwestern Montana.
Il strenuously objected to the gas
taxes of this financial district be-
| ing turned over to national defense
projects as our Federal government
is now top heavy with national de-
tense funds. As a result, the retir-
ing state highway board instructed
/, to restore these funds to Lincoln
County to be applied on the Libby
overpass. may also mention that
was given satisfactory assurance
| that this project will be let on the
18th day OF April, l04l.
The basic object Of my appear,
ance before the highway board wa.
to place the responsibility and tht
burden Of the Kootenai River bridge
at Libby in the hands of the state
highway dennrtment. The stringers
of this bridge ore old, decayed, anc
some are cracked. In the retimber-
ing and planking. it will cost in the
neighborhood OF $4,000 which VIZ
have not got at the present time
and in view OF the fact that the state
highway intends to transfer approx
imately 100000 yards Of earth fill
across the bridge, which is excessive
in addition to the daily traffic.
4 In my request for funds for tht
bridge repair, | was not successful
as the State cannot consider re
pair job. But they did however stat
that they may be able to contribute
towards a part of the cost of th'
repairs.
