To Prohibit
Dogs Running at
Large in City

The city council is working on an
ordinance that will prohibit dogs
running at large on the. streets of
Libby. 1t is expected that the or
dinance will be enacted at the
March meeting of the council.
The proposed ordinance will pro-
vide that any dog found running
loose on the streets will be picked
up and impounded The owner will
be required to pay $500 to get it
released. If not called for within
48 hours, any impounded dog will
be put up for sale or disposed Of in
some other manner. Any dog on the
streets must be kept on leash or
in car.
Similar ordinances are in force
in numerous cities" said Mayor
Parker, and are meeting with high
success. More and more towns are
adopting similar measures so as to
do away with theN> dog nuisance
The ordinance that Is being pre-
pared here will follow very closely
one that is now in force in Great
Falls.
For some time there has been
considerable complaint in Libby
concerning the damage done by
dogs to shrubs and flowers in Libby
yards. The ordinance comes in
answer. to that complaint and ir
line with a movement that is grow
ing common everywhere.
After this ordinance goes into eff.
feet, dogs will no longer be licensed
by the city.

Obtain More
Truck Tires
For County
Rationing Board Succeeds
in Raising Quota From
II to 20 for February.
HAS VITAL BEARING
ON LOCAL INDUSTRY

The number of truck tires
that will be permitted to Lin
coin county operators during
February was raised from II
to 20 at a meeting of Ration
ing Board officials held at
Kalispell Tuesday.
The local Rationing Board, COM
posed of II. B. Wallace, Harold
Gompf and M. D. Rowland, met in
Kalispell on Saturday with Tom R.
Caverly, state coordinator in ration
ing matters Rationing problems
in respect to cars, sugar and tires
were thoroughly discussed. 1t was
at this conference that the Libby
men prevailed on Caverly to raise
the number of truck tires for Lin
coin county.
This question of where tires are
going to come from for Lincoln
county people is a rather serious
one" said Mr.. Wallace in discussing
the conference. "A large part of the
economic life of the country is
dependent on enough tires to
keep our trucks in operation. The
lumber and logging industry uses
large number. The same thing
is true of other industries, includ-
ing mining, farming and similar oc-
equations. / estimate there are
from 1900 to 1900 truck tires in use
in the county all the time. One
can see what an effect it would
have on the economic life Of the
community if conditions should
arise whereby there would not be
enough tires to keep the essential
industries in operation.
Il can say that Caverly appreci-
ates the situation and will do any
thing that he can to keep suffi-
cient number of truck tires coming
into the county as fast as they are
needed. However, this air depends
on just how/Well the national sup
ply holds out"
Mr.. Wallace also said that it will
be impossible for the owner OF a
private car to secure tires he-eaf-
ter. Car tires will be sold only to
doctors who are making calls, to
ambulance operators, and only to
those few occupations that are adj
judged essential.

Makes Record in
Accident Prevention

Libby officials of the ]. Neils
Lumber Company were hosts Fri
day night to an annual dinner given
to the foreman of the manufactur-
ing and logging departments of the
company. The dinner was served in
the parlors of the Presbyterian
church, the ladies of the church do
ing the serving. Forty were pres
ent Among the number were not
only present day foremen but a
number of former foremen who had
retired from active service after a
number of years with the company.
Another guest on this occasion was
Thomas Sherry, director of safety
for Potlatch Forests, Inc, of Lewis
ton, Idaho. Drs. Martin and Cairns
of Libby were also present.
Following the dinner, meeting
of the group was held in the of
fees of the company, with Walter
Neils, manager of the company, pre-
siding.
The time was given over to a
discussion of safety matters, with
Mr.. Sherry giving very interesting
talk. It was brought out that the
Neils company has an enviable rec
ord in safety matters. And during
this discussion, the improvement in
accident prevention IN the logging
department come into for special
comment.
Some months ago the manage
ment became aroused by the nu-
merous accidents that were occur
ring in the woods. In order to help
correct that condition, Robert Neils
was PLACED in charge of safety
measures in the woods and started
campaign to reduce the number.
Ably assisted by the woods fore
men and workers, a 80 per cent
reduction was made in the number
of accidents. 1t was pointed out
at the meeting that this go per
cent reduction would undoubtedly
hold the record for accident re-
duction throughout the Northwest
