The Libby Chomber
Enjoys Co. Scenes

The Surprise Cafe was the meet
ing place of a dinner meeting of
the Libby Chamber of Commerce,
Thursday, February 3. After the
dinner scenic and wild life movies
taken in Lincoln County by Rever
end Stearns' brother were shown
by Reverend Stearns and Mr.. Tom
Rogers. These pictures, in color,
portrayed the scenic beauty of our
section of the country and showed
many scenes of game in its native
habitat. Big Horn sheep, Rocky
Mountain goats, deer, moose and
bear as we'll as many smaller
animals were seen. These very fine
pictures were evidence of the many
blessings of nature we have near
by.
Following this a report on pend
lature in regards to education,
public libraries and other subjects
as they would affect our commun-
ity was given by Smith Mcneil.
The trip to Spokane by repre-
sentativeS of the Chamber of Com
merce to attend the hearing on the
Army Engineers 3O8 report was
on by j. F. Fennessy, Jr.,
and o. l.. Gillespie. It was stated
that the stand of the Libby Cham
Der of Commerce was neither in
favor of or in opposition to the
building of the dam, but if it was
built Libby would need financial
help from the Federal government.
This help was wanted as the prob
lens brought about by the dam
arose, and not after they had ap-
oeared The factors which would
be affected are-loss Of taxable pro-
oerty which would be inundated
as a result of the dam; increased |
school enrolment; increased need
or more police protection; santa
ion and health problems; because !
If greater use of the roads and |
streets, a greater break up would !
'esult. These and numerous other |
problems would arise, the city and |
county does not have the funds to |
,ope with many of them success |
ully now, certainly when these
problems were increased in size
md number and tax revenue went !
lown, they could not be met 1t !
vas asked that these problems be
and help given to Lin
oln county so they could be met.
