SIS Million Sewer Loan PIun

parture in opposing the plan last
week.
The loan bill, approved by the
legislative council, would permit
the State to float $25 million in
improvement bonds. Proceeds
would be lent to any county or
special district to build modern
sewerage and water works. Or the
State itself could do the building
and lease the systems.
Borrowing subdivisions would
have to reimburse the State, but
Hammond said this might take
40 or so years.

will be considered by a subcom-

Milk River When Tractor
Breaks Through Ice

Bill Long is certain that in his
accident last week when a tract
or he was driving across Milk
River crashed through the ice
into 20 feet of water, he got
nearer to the threshold of i'm
mortality than ever before in all
his life.
At the time he was pulling a
load of baled hay from the north
side of the old Buck ranch, now
o n e d by E. G.. Olmsted, to
cattle feeding grounds on the op-
posite side. The rivers width at
this point is around 40 feet.
! Suddenly, when the tractor got
halfway across. the ice gave
way. Bill was able to maneuver
! the tractor to avoid its nose
diving, despite his being up to
his chin in hide-penetrating water.
I With the rear part going down,
he finally got t h e tractor at a
safe angle.
An employee, working under
Long, came to his re scue on
horseback, but horse and rider
also plunged into the water. FL
nally, both men and the horse
! got out of the icy trap.
; The tractor later in the week
was pulled out of the river. DAM
ages to the tractor caused by the
prevailing ice flow were consid-
