II Tacoma Ia 10 solve its sewer
problem with q sewer utility plan,
charges will have to be set up 50
there will be no discrimination
against persons who already have
paid for their facilities, according
to a pair OF acknowledgement con-
sulting engineers who appeared be-
fore the city council Monday.
Principal adviser 10 the city
fathers Monday was N. T. Veach
Of the Kansas City engineering
firm OF Black and Veach.
He recommended that the coun-
Gil arrange to determine the prob
able present investment in sewers
in the city and the probable needed
future investment IN them, and
work back from that TO equitable
rates.
Il don't think you could get by
with an average charge including
those who already have paid" he
warned.
Cites Only Fair Charge
The only fair charge to persons
who already have been assessed
for sewers, Veach said. would be
for maintenance or development
of any large trunk sewer or dis
posal plant.
Veach was invited to the council
meeting after the commissioners
discussion OF few weeks ago
about putting the matter of city
sewer utility on the spring ballot
for vote of the people. He

GIVES
ORA TIPS

With the coming of harvest
and the need for the storage
of wheat, farmers are urged by
George w. GuStafson, county
extension agent, to thoroughly
disinfect their granaries and
bins as a precaution against the
infeStation of such insects as
the granary weevil, which is be-
coming more and more menac-
ing in Montana.
According to word received
from H. B. Mills, state entomol-
ogist at Bozeman, an increasing
amount of wheat is being dam
aged from year to year by these
pests. He says that empty bins
which are suspected at all of
harboring grain insects should
be thoroughly cleaned and
sprayed with deodorant kero-
sene or a spray consisting of
one gallon of dormant tree
spray oil, nine gallons of water,
and three ounces of lye. This
spray should be applied at the
rate of one gallon per so square
feet before any grain is stored.
Grain sacks should not be used
again until possible grain in
sects have been killed by FUN
igation or by heating to 40 de-
grees for one hour, he added.
For further information re-
garding the control of these
damaging grain insects, farm
ers are asked to write the Coun-
ty Extension office or the State
EntomologiSt at Bozeman.
Another precaution that far
mers are asked to heed is the
