Names Helpers
In Slaughter
Program
Committees Appointed in
Libby and Troy For
Convenience of Farmers.
BUTCHERING OF
LIVESTOCK EXPLAINED

At meeting of the County War
Meat Committee in Eureka on
July 30. it was decided that sub
committees should be appointed to
handle the slaughter program in
the Libby and Troy communities.
These committees will give out sup
plies and information and make rec
concentrations to the County Com
mittee. All permits will be issued
by the County Committee but it is
believed that the recommendations
of the subcommittee will be fol-
lowed in most cases.
The subcommittee set up are
as follows: Libby Community. r.
Baney, chairman, Lorne Bolyard ard
Hugh Slauson, members, Troy
Community. B. Farris, char :
man, (. J. Weidner and Chef Hoi-
.sington, members. Supplies, instruc-
tons and information have beer
sent to these committees and all
persons interested in the slaughter
program should contact their loca'
committees.
The County Committee IS not al
lowed to issue permits in excess q
three head of livestock, one q
which may be cattle. Therefore
anyone who will need a permit FL
a larger slaughter quota than three
head should make application i'm
mediately. In the past many farm
ers have waited to make applicl-
ton for their permit until day o
SO before they wanted to slaughter
This has resulted in delay and cor.
fusion in many cases as the per
mits cannot always be issued I'M
mediately. Therefore, in the future
all persons who will need slaughte
permits should get their applica
tions in as soon as possible. Pei
mits are issued on the basis Of 1874
slaughter records However, evl
dence in proof of the 194l record
is required for the permits givinl
quotas Of more than three heac
Anyone applying for perml
should get this proof lined up t
submit with his application.

Urged To Destroy
Unused Ration
Stamps

Farm and urban consumers
should Immediately destroy any IN
used ration stamps they have left
after they expire, said George Da.
Wis, of the Lincoln County War
Meat Board today
Mr.. Davis pointed out that giving
away ration stamps before they ex-
pire, or giving them to tradesmen
Immediately after expiration, de-
feats the purpose Of the rationing
system. The War Food Admins
tration and the Office Of Price Adj
ministration know that farmers
particularly, will not use all Of their
stamps because they grow on their
own farms so much Of the food they
eat This fact is considered in es-
tablishing ration allowances for in
dividuals when national supplies
are apportioned between claimant
agencies.
Ration stamps do not expire fcI
the retailer on the same date thai
they expire for the consumer, Mr.
Davis said. Consequently, # they
fall into the hands Of an unscrupt.-
lous dealer within a few days fol
] lowing expiration he can still use
them to build up unWarranted IN
ventories of foodstuffs, thus draw
/ ing more than his fair proportion
Of foodstuffs out of the nationa
larder, and probably forcing re
4 duction in ration allowances to in
dividuals later.
Unused point ration stamps shoult
4 be destroyed, said Mr. Davis, in sci
interest," because today's unusf'
stamps means larger nations

individual allowances tomorrow 70

end, this means less waste feWe

.P| a(eS Tax
Levy At
II. 33 Mills
Increases Poor Fund
Levy So AS To
Reduce Present Debt.
COUNTY IN EXCELLENT
FINANCIAL CONDITION


ty commissioners placed the tax
levy for the 1884 fiscal year at
27.33 mills. This is an increase of
SOB mills over the levy of last year
and is explained in the following
manner.
The last Montana legislature an
acted a law permitting counties to
increase the levy for the poor fund
up to 10 mills from the previous
maximum of 6 mills During the
late hard times, Lincoln county was
unable to raise enough money to
keep up its end of the relief burden
and ran quite heavily in debt to the
state in administration of its poor
and welfare funds The last few
years this condition has improved,
however, and the county has been
gradually paying off this indebted
ness. With the idea of further re-
ducing that debt, the commissioners
this year levied the full 10 mills
for the poor fund That accounts
for mills of the increase. A half
mill increase was provided for the
bridge fund and SO of a mill il
crease. for the bond interest and
sinking fund Last year the tax
levy was 22.3 mills.
The commissioners decided, after
giving the matter careful consid
Grafton and comforting with some
of tn heaviest taxpayers that it was
good business policy to reduce the
county debt as much as possible at
this time Everyone is more or
less prosperous at present, there Is
work for everyone and the general
public is in much better position
now to pay off the county debt than
it will be later, after the war is
ended and when reduced pros
perity may result. 1t was decided
that it is better to have the taxes
somewhat higher now and lower
when jobs and income may be re-
duced.
For some time Lincoln county
has been in a very favorable fl
nancial condition 1t is operating on
practically a cash basis inasmuch
as there have been few outstanding
warrants for some time on when
to pay interest changes of per
cent This year the only registered
warrants to draw interest were in
the poor fund and the library fund
and those for small amounts and
only for short time.
Another thing that should BE-
good news to the taxpayers is thas
again this year it has been found
unnecessary to make any levy TO-
the road fund 1t is estimated thai
the road fund will require S52,3l6
90, but a considerable surplus has
accumulated in that fund and it il
believed the surplus taken with
receipts from auto licenses and the
county's share from the sales IF
forest timber will provide all the
money needed in the road fund.
In compiling the budget for the
present fiscal year, it was estimat-
ed that the following amounts would
be needed for the various funds.
General Fund ............. $72, 07200
Road Fund ...................... 52,3l600
Bridge Fund ................. 10, 4360O
Poor Fund ..................,... 81, 85300
Interest and Sinking Fund 22,34808
Library Fund ..................... 4,912.0O
All of these amounts will not
have to be raised by taxation as
most of the funds have some sources
of revenue other than from direct
taxation.
