new PLAN FOR
IMPROVEMENT
IS PRESENTED
Cost Reduced for North Side
Street and Storm Sewer
Project

A revised plan for the north SIDE
drainage, curb and paving project
was received this week from Corwin
Co. of Great Falls, consulting engin-
GERS, and shows a marked reduction
in the estimated cost, Mayor E. j
Kjelstrup reported.
The plan, in which two a~lternates
are given, Is still to be discussed by
the city council, the mayor said,
One plan involving a hot plant
mix street surface is estimated to
cost Sl79,967 while an alternate
involving use of a road mix paving
has an estimate Of Sl53,35l.
Either of these, constructed ac-
cording to our specifications now
being written, will be entirely suit
able for the location and traffic,
although the hot-mixed will, of
course, give you better service" an
accompanying letter from M. E.
Chamberlain, chief engineer for
Corwin, states.
Mr.. Chamberlain stresses that it
will be very difficult TO secure a
satisfactory job of s%urfacing without
first constructing combined curbS
and cutters. cost of which Is figured
in the estimates given.
Storm sewer with 42-inch pipe
is proposed as a collection system
for runoff water. The sewer would
extend from Second to Seventh
streets along Highway 2 and on
Seventh street north from Highway
2 for two blocks. 1t would run south
of the highway on Seventh street
for a short distance before being
converted into an open ditch that
would then turn to run roughly
parallel with the Great Northern
railway until it emptied into Cherry
creek just north of the railway
bridge.
The residence section to have sur
faced streets would include Second,
Third and Fourth avenues from
First to Seventh streets and Fifth
avenues from Fifth to Seventh
streets, along with all connecting
streets.

Mayor Asks
Water Be Shut
Off When Fire

Mayor E. j. Kjelstrup today asked
all Glasgow water users to shut off
hose faucets whenever the fire
whistle in Glasgow blows.
During the hot weather. city
water pumps have been operating at
capacity to meet the load caused by
heavy irrigation of yards and gar
denS," the mayor said. we are us
ing just about all the water we can
pump
I'VE are asking all water users to
cooperate with us so that it will not
be necessary to restrict hours of ir-
rigation, as is being done in most
Montana cities. Turning off outside
faucets will insure adequate pressure
for fire lines and thus provide pro-
lection in case of fire.

Commissioners Are Studying
Preliminary Budgets
For Valley

county commissioners the first three
days this week brought the con-
cluSlon that a total levy of about
% mills will be required for 1e45
taxes. The tentative figures may be
changed later, Stephen Weber.
clerk and recorder reported.
The levy should require about
IL mills for ordinary county govern
ment a operation, including road.
bridge and poor funds, plus 10 mills
TO be levied on rural property only.
the greater part of which will be
used as a fund for postwar road and
bridge construction" the clerk stated.
Reserves to be set up for machinery
and equipment are $4,000 for bridge
and S28,600 for the road fund.
Budgets will be finally adopted at
a meeting of commissioners on Aug.
II. Meanwhile, the clerk said. pre-
liminary figures are at his office
for inspection by any taxpayer, who
also may appear Aug. Is to speak
for or against any item. Commits
sioners will meet next to study pre-

ent.
New levies this year will be three
fourths of a mill each for airport
maintenance, operation of the city

Weed control is a problem in
some county areas. County Agent
James K. McGibney has requested
a levy to set up a revolving fund for
purchase of machinery and materials
for a chemical weed control pro-
gram. Farmers will get the service
at cost and the payments received
will be turned into the county fund.
although there is a large cash
reserve in the road fund, the board
has found it necessary to budget for
new machinery, increasing the levy"
Weber stated. Much of the road
machinery now owned by the
county is worn out and will have to
be replaced just as soon as new
equipment is available"
Anticipating some additional de-
mands the coming year. a small in

levy. The cash reserve in the gen.
eral fund has dropped, requiring a
small levy for it, also. While there
will be an overall increase in
