Commissioners on
Record in Favor
Of County Airport

After hearing testimony from
a wide variety Of sources at a
meeting arranged by the Big
Horn County Chamber of Com
merce, the county commission
ers Tuesday afternoon went on
record as authorizing the devel-
opment of the county airport
on the hill southeast of Hardin,
known as the Hardin airport in
the CAA records.
George Daniels, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, was
the first to present testimony
before the commissioners. He
reviewed the history of negoti-
atoms in regard to the airport.
He stated that the Chamber
was bringing the matter before
the commissioners because they
are already sponsors of the air
port, acting for the county. APP
.parently, he added, there has
arisen some difference Of opin-
ion as to where the county tax
dollar earmarked for airport
development would be spent.
The group was asking the board
to settle the issue.
/. Vance Rogers, commander OF
Hardin Post No. 8 of the Amer
lean Legion, asked that exc.
rs here who are eligible for
flight training under the G.. I.
bill be given a chance to take
the training in Hardin. He
pointed out that the Hardin
airport offers an ideal training
site and that is the only site
on which approval for a train
ing school is sure to be granted.
Rogers also said that two diff
ferent groups have said they
are willing to come to Hardin
to give flight training provided
facilities are available.
Other Legion members who
spoke were Bill TorSke and VIII
lard Scott.
The practicability of getting
some of the necessary work
done was also discussed. Others
speaking at the meeting were ].
j. Ping, H. w. Funston, Dan
Maddox, Junior Spear, John S.
Thompson, Wayne Linthacum,
Lowell Painter, j. G. Henderson,
E. S. Mcintyre, A. M. Chilly and
Torrey Johnson.
The commissioners also stated
that anyone interested in air
port development who wished to
HEP in any way will be received
by the commissioners at any of
their sessions.

Voters to Decide on TWoBondl Issues
For S1O5.O 600 and s5O.OO0to
Make Additions to Water. Sewer Systems
Election 10 Be Held
TuesdGy From
IL Noon IA 3 r. M

! A special bond election will be
held Tuesday, May II, in which
taxpayers In the city OF Hardin
will have an opportunity to vote
on two bond issues to improve
the water system and sewer
system in the city.
Polling places are: Precinct
~ Hardin Electric: precinct
18, city hall; precinct 19, Cath
ole church basement. The polls.
viii be open from noon until
3 D. m.
Each voter will receive two
ballots. One win be concerned
with a bond issue of $105, 0nn
for building an extension Of the
city WaterWorkS OF Hardin. II
this measure passes, the storage
capacity of the plant will be in
creased to 270,000 gallons. Plans
call for the construction Of q
standpipe Of this capacity on
the hill approximately one and
a half miles west Of Hardin.
The necessary mains must also
be built. Also included in thu
estimate are a mechanical mix
er and mixing chamber at the
filtration plant.
On the other ballot, the issue
OF $4,000 in bonds will be vot-
ed upon. The $4,000 is to be
used for repairs and additions
to the present sewer system. In
Guided are the construction Of
a 15-inch main sanitary sewer
on Sixth street from the alley
between Custer avenue and
Crow avenue to a point about
800 feet east Of the city limits,
with the necessary pumping
equipment and tanks.
City officials urged that ev-
cry qualified voter cast a bal
lot In the election. It. was
pointed out that the addition to
the sewer system is essential,
since there has been a great
deal Of difficulty in keeping the
present lines unclogged. Since
improvements to the water syS-
tenn cannot be completed IN
time, it will be necessary to
ration water this summer, it
was stated. Water was In short
supply last summer also. as 10
cal residents win remember.
The citizens of Hardin voted
a bond issue last spring for i'm
proyements to, the water SyS-
tenn, but because of rising costs
Of. labor and material, the or
igina1 estimate was not enough
to cover the expense OF the pro-
jected improvements. The Aesti-
mates for the work needed at
present have been carefully
checked, city officers said, and
if the bond issues pass, SUI
ficient funds to complete the
work will be available.

AGA Work Sheets
Advanced to MdY IA

Big Horn county farmers who
have not yet filed farm work
sheets, listing the practices
they plan to carry out under
the 1948 AGA program, have
been given additional time by
the extension of the sign-up
period to May IA, George c.
Miller, County AGA chairman
announced this week.
The extended time is permit
ted by action taken by the
Montana PIMA committee to
make sure that all farmers who
intend to complete conserva-
ton practices will have a
chance to participate in the
1913 program.
About 60 per cent of the
farms in Big Horn county will
participate in the 1948 program,
according to the work sheets
already filed. This includes
about 800 farms. Last year, 370
farms had a part in the pro-
gram.
"This is a final reminder to
all who intend. to carry out
practices that work sheets must
be filed by May H." Miller
said. "The county AGA commit
tee must review all farm plans,
approve or disapprove practic-
eS and establish minimum farm
o~Tlou1apoes in time to hermit
operators to plan their sum-
mer's work On the basis OF the
amount of assistance we can
give them. All practices must
be approved by the committee
before the are carried out, to
be eligible for assistance, and
it is essential that all plans be
in the office on the closing
date"

present location. The board
promised to keep the matter in
mind and said efforts would be
made to obtain a teacher for
the school.

school building, and the adyis-
ability of moving it were also
discussed. The board did not
arrive a a definite decision.
Two board members and the
superintendent had previously
inspected the building. The en-
tire board decided to make a
trip to look the building over.

community On the same trip
and to further go into the ad-
visibility of building a new
school there. A teacherage has
also been requested by the resi-
dents of the community.

levelling of the proposed ath-
letic field, back of the junior

buildings, will be done immed-
lately. The equipment and la
Dor are being donated to the
district, he said. A quarter
mile cinder track around the
field is also being planned. He
added that he has made ex-
tensive inquiries regarding the
proper mixture to plant to OBJ
tain a good turf. Plans for ir-
rigation of the field were also
discussed.
The matter of the OronyX
club was the last item consider
ed. The board discussed the
origin of the group and also
made an effort to view the
present makeup of the organ
ization from all angles. At the
close of the discussion Archie
Wilson moved that the Board
of Trustees of School District
17-H recommend that the Orc
nyx club be revised to include
all girls with a %" average or
better, and that this scholastic
standard must be maintained
to keep active membership.
