Hungry Horse Bidding Interest Increases

Inquiries from bidders interest
ed in building Hungry Horse, the
worlds fourth largest concrete
dam, are increasing as the bid
opening date of April 1 nears.
Indications are that large con-
tractors are asking smaller firms
to study parts of the nearly 300
pages of specifications and draw
ings with the idea of subcontract-
ing. Forty of the big books
have already been obtained from
local bureau of reclamation Of
fees.
Three and four inquiries a day
have even included a Florida con-
Germ interested in hauling.
The dam is to require about
100000 cubic yards of gravel
and about 100000 barrels of ce-
ment. There is considerable To-
cal interest as to whether Hun
cry Horse creek or Bad Rock can
yon will be the gravel source.
However, Hungry Horse creek
about two miles above the dam
site has proven gravel supply
of 100000 cubic yards that is
available to the contractor, meets
bureau specifications and offers
less of a-haul to the damsite.
A. F. Winkler and Don Treloar,
Flathead Citizens committee Of
ficers, were to leave Kalispell Fri
day morning for Washington. They
expect the Hungry Horse approp-
ration of $3.50, 900 for 194S-49
will be before the house subcom-
mittee this coming week. Mr.. Win
kler told a Martin City audience
Wednesday that ne hoped to have
definite assurance by March 81
on the appropriation amount
This would somewhat clear the
matter for prospective bidders.

Voters Will Decide
High School Shop

New developments of the week
to be settled by voters at the Sa-
turday, April 8 election are the
building of a high school shop
and the establishing of a IL mil
special levy to help support grade
schools.
On the ballots already are the
questions of four-room, frame
schools at Coram and Martin CITY
to cost $4,000 each, completely
equipped. Two school board mem
oers will be elected since the pre-
sent terms of Chairman Otto
Fehlberg, Coram, and Bud OAR
ling, Columbia Falls, expire.
At their budget meeting We'd
nesday afternoon. the school board
argeed to let the voters decide
a IL mil levy for one year. This
will raise $4,000 to erect and
equip a 40 by 60-quonset struc-
ture and will make possible the
teaching of manual training and
shop work to high school boys.
The 12-mil levy for one year
avoids a bond issue. High school
finances are in better shape this
year than last, and there is not
the need to ask and extra high
school levy cit was 6 last year,
to hire additional teachers or paw
more salaries. Helping has been
more state aid, and the 20 per
cent in assessed value of the dis
;rict.
The school board, witnessing
4 25 per cent increase in grade
school enrollments this year, has
decided to prepare for extra ele-
teacher hiring next fall
where needed. Voters will be ask
I'd to approve a ~ mil special
evy for grade school support.
LAST year it was 13 extra mills. The
regular elementary school tax is
10 mills.
