Better Street
Lights for
City AppE0ved

Glasgow should have improved
street lights within the next few
months, according to announcement
by Martin Miller, city clerk.
The city council has authorized the
purchase of l42 new type globes
giving illumination of $500 lumens
intensity. about the same as $50
watts, compared with the globes
now in use, which are about the
equivalent of 100-watt bulbs.
However, Mr.. Miller said, an even
greater improvement is expected
with the installation CT a new type
base and outer globe, also author
lied. They will give a better distri-
button of light, compared with the
present base, which shields off"
part of the illumination from the
street. The new installations are to
be similar to those now used in the
Glasgow underpass.
The new globes will be ordered
as soon as it is possible to secure
the new type bases. The new bases,
with a ring fitting for outside globes,
can be welded on to present lamp
standards without difficulty.

WORKS
GET SETBACK
IN CONGRESS
Reclamation, Engineer Re-
quests Rejected by House
Committee

Flood control, navigation and irri-
CATION work, much of it along the
Missouri river, took a jolt in Wash
ington Monday when the house ap-
preparations committee denied Presi-
dent Truman's request for almost
Sl30, 000,0 900 to spend between now
and July l on scores of projects
halted by the
Flood control and rivers and har-
bors work by the corps of engineers,
including items at Fort Peck, were
hardest hit. At the same time, n
other appropriation of $40, 269, 300
for Missouri development work was
approved by the committee. This
a Sl,648,00 under budget esti-
mates. The approval is for the joint
development program of the en-
gineers and bureau of reclamation
as authorized under the flood con-
troll act of 1914.
The committee stipulated that no
funds could be allotted for power
transmission lines to serve private
companies. The report said the COM
mittee objected to the governments
going into the business of construc-
ing such lines to market power.
Budget estimates had suggested
S515,7 700 for power market studies.
The committee voted, however,
S480,000 for construction of the Fort
Peck Williston transmission line
and substation to provide power for
construction of Garrison dam, part
of the Missouri basins flood control
plan.
In cutting the budget estimates
for the Fort Peck project from
$4,000, 900, the committee disallowed
funds for transmission lines to sup
ply power to private companies,
r. E. A. co-operatives and for ir-
rigation pumping.
Such lines and substations should
be constructed by the agency which
proposes to use the power the
committee said.
Most of the $10,269,O 900 for the
Missouri basin program will be used
by the reclamation bureau for in
vestigations and surveys, engineers
said.
Among large projects disapproved
was 81, l85, 900 for Fort Peck. The
disapprcval will not effect work
started on installation of a second
generating unit in the Fort Peck
power house by the engineers, funds
for which were already available.
However, it will delay other post
war projects for completion of work
at the dam, including such items
as work on the dam, tunnels and
spillway and new roads. They we're
to have included topping of the crest
of the dam, constructing a road
across the dam and providing lights
along the roadway. Installation of
recording devices and construction
of the remaining shaft building vas
to have been done at the tunnels.
Also proposed was a road from the
dam directly to the spillway and
considerable improvement work at
the spillway.

the plane was carrying when It
took off. We all figured that II
something went wrong. they'd have
to find a new island he explained.
