SUGAR RAT|ON|NG
REMAINS IN FORCE
Continues AS Usual Under Act
Extended To March '47-FOrd
Asks Rents Be Kept Down

OPA District director L. M. A
Wass Immediately on the expiration
of the price control act June 80
announced that all phases of sugar
rationing continue in effect. Under
the second war powers act, which
was extended to March, 1947, by
congress, and signed by the presi-
dent on Saturday, June 29, sugar
rationing will continue as usual,
and is subject to all provisions of
the act.
Paul A. Porter, OPA administra-
tor, forwarded to Wass the follow
ing: "The absence of federal con-
troll of rent does not leave a tenant
completely without protection, nor
a landlord without obligation. Ten
ants holding leases will, of course,
be protected by the terms of the
lease. Local and state law in some
states protects tenants who have
no. leases. Responsible landlords
know the necessity of maintaining
stability in rents and occupancy
during the greatest housing short
age that has ever confronted the
nation"
Governor Sam C. Ford took
prompt action in the price and
rent emergency, and called upon
Montana landlords and retailers to
maintain stable price schedules in
Montana.
at is inconceivable," Governor
Ford said, "that landlords of Mon
tana under existing conditions of
the tremendous housing problems
would inflict hardships on those
who are forced to rent"

Loss of a warplant located at the
Billings fairgrounds accounts for
the decrease in supplies" which
went down from $1,S3O,366 in 1945
to $6S4,572 in 1916. The plant
carried a valuation of $1,500,0O0 in
1915.
Until 1919 all real property was
assessed at about 80 or 40 per cent
of full value. In 1918 the "assess-
ed and also taxable value" of the
county was $25, 1884, 4,451, but in 1919
the classification law was passed and
all personal property was assessed
according to classes or the kind of
property. Land then became classi-
fled as irrigated, dry tillable, or
grazing.
Classification of land was COM
pleted in 1921 and the new valua-
tion of the county was $84,423,69
with a taxable value og $25,815, $50.
During the next 10 years land
values were cut steadily by the
county board of equalization and the
state board of equalization. In 1885
the full value of the county was
S68,687, 900. In 1885 the county
board cut all dry land values and
the total value dropped to $58,173,-
500.
Since that time the county has
gained rapidly and now shows its
greatest assessed value, $86,21O,627,
a gain of more than $28,OOO,OOO in
10 years.

School district No. 7, Laurel,

STERRETT DESCRIBES
NEW FIRE EQUIPMENT;
STRESSES PREVENTION

With new equipment now at its
command, the Laurel fire depart
ment is ready to continue its record
established in the past 35 or more
years of successfully combating
fires, said R. H. Sterrett, member
of the department and member of
the Laurel Rotary club when he
addressed the Rotarians Tuesday.
The firemen, all of whom are volun-
teers, have always been inspired to
save their fellow citizens property,
and are now in better position to
do so. A new truck with pumper
equipment was recently delivered to
the city for the firemen's use.
Sterrett said the pumper is cap
able of delivering 500 gallons of
water a minute at a pressure of
approximately 200 pounds, which is
adequate to meet present possible
needs. Other equipment includes
fog nozzles and compressed gas.
These latter are especially valuable
in that they can often be employed
with a minimum of damage to the |
property when the blaze is not |
large.
With the fog-making equipment |
it is often possible for firemen to
work their way into the interior of
a burning building and do telling
work at the source, instead of pur-
suing the old system of trying to
drown the fire in a river of cold
water. Compressed carbon-dioxide
when released will often strangle
a small blaze without damage by
water to the rest of the property.
Both fog and gas are frequently
effective for a burning car of truck.
Sterrett mentioned the huge total
damage done in the United States
each year by fire, most of which
IS preventable. In that connection
he said the Laurel firemen are
more interested in preventing fires
Than in fighting them and have
made number of
Among frequent
,auses are accumulations of paper,
'ags and other rubbish and each
dry weeds and grass in
alleys and on vacant lots. Tidiness
md cleanliness greatly help to pre-
yent both disease and fires.
An FBI man addressed this {
year's convention of Montana fire {
men and told of the strides being
made in detecting arson. The (
hemists and other scientists are
Iiding in securing confessions and 4
by furnishing scientific |
vidence. A burned match can
'ften be identified and traced from '
rigin to user.
Investigation of series of fires
n wheat fields uncovered an odd {
ire bomb, a rat trap that set off
charge of burning material when
he noon heat of the sun softened {

rap go shut. The bombs set in

The Laurel department was or
anized years ago under state law E
nd consisted of Is volunteer men, i
ers. Two of the members who 7
erved 20 years or more have been
etired on pension from funds pro- +
