NO new, USED
TIRES FOR A
CARDHOLDERS
Rubber Shortage Also Restricts
b, c and L Cars TO Those
Highly Essential.

Americas rubber shortage is i'll
such an acute stage that there will
be no new or good used tires for
holders of Glass A cards and tire
permits will be restricted to those
essential to the war effort with
other types of permits.
These were among facts brought
to members of the county ration
board and local dealers by R. j..
Moore of Helena, state OPA tire
examiner, at a meeting here last
week. The war demand has been
tremendous. he said, and there is
now a monthly shortage of 100000
truck tires.
In a nutshell, the main reasons
for the rubber shortage now are
/. The tremendous demand for
purposes.
2. The stockpile of crude rubber
is practically gone and imports are
mere fraction of the demand for
war purposes alone.
8. The synthetic rubber program
far behind schedule for several
reasons.
4. The a~ll-reclaimed rubber tire
was a complete flop.
5. The pure synthetic rubber tire
will not stand up and must contain

Meets with Boards.

Following a tour of the Glasgow
district of the Milk River irrigation
project Sunday, j. S. Moore OF
Denver, general supervisor of oper-
alton and maintenance on all bu-
reau of reclamation projects, met
with the Glasgow and Malta dis
trict irrigation boards here Sunday
afternoon.
Accompanying Mr.. Moore were H.
H. Johnson of Great Falls, field
supervisor of operation and main
tenance for Montana and parts of
Wyoming and Nebraska, and H. w.
Genger of Malta, manager of the
Milk River project.
Mr.. Moore's primary purpose in
coming here was to study at first
hand the project as a preliminary
step toward negotiating special re-
payment contracts for both the
Malta and Glasgow districts.
Cover Entire Project
From here, the visiting group
went to Malta and will continue
the project tour to its headwaters
in Glacier National park.

Under terms of an act of con-
greSS passed in 1889, the bureau of

up special construction repayment
contracts with districts where spe-
cial problems or distress conditions
exist. Such contracts must be APP
proved both by water users in the
districts concerned and by congress.
The inspection made and facts
presented to Mr.. Moore. local board
members said, indicated the need
for large expenditures for main
tenance in the two districts, with
many irrigation structures in need
Of repair or replacement. For this
reason, water users will be unable
to repay as large amounts for con-
Struction costs as are required un-
der the present contract.
1t is anticipated that bureau of
ficials will soon draft a proposed
contract covering this situation and
will first ask approval of it by dis
