|Lcdr. Yard Speaks
To Rotary On The
Atomic Submarine.

Lcdr. Russell Ward addressed

cheon on Thursday. Lcdr. Ward is
weA-qualified to speak on his SUBJ
ject The Submarine of the Flu
ture" as he has been in the SUBJ
marine service since early In 1912.
He stated that the submarine
was our most effective weapon in
the Pacific phase of World War 2.
Submarines destroyed % per cent
of the Japanese navy and so per
cent OF the merchant shipping.
In tracing the development of
submarines in the u. S. Navy,
Lcdr., Ward touched briefly on the
different types Of submarines that
have been used since 1887.
In the new Atomic" submarines
Lcdr. Ward said that due to the
new type Of power, there would be
more space for supplies, torpedos
and even troops. The new type
submarine is capable M remaining
submerged during its entire mis-
sion, and boredom will be the chief
morale problem. He said that the
new subs viii be made as hvable
as possible.
Lcdr. Ward concluded by saying
that there Is no way Of evaluating
the ultimate worth of atomic pow-
er when civilian industry begins
to use it.

was introduced and commended
the local club on It's fine record.

creasing number of freshmen, sophomores, juniors
and seniors. Obviously they can't wait for the mil
lion dollar building.
There are situations in the district that encour-
age negative votes on the bond issue.
The Bad Rock consolidation question has dis
turbed many people.
Plans for second junior high east of Bad
Rock canyon have caused others to think in terms
of trade = junior high for them, and high
school for us. What is overlooked is that children
from the whole district attend the high school.
Then too, there has been general unrest at the
prospect of a strike at the plant.
1t is easy to think of number of factors that
discourage voting for improvement.
Objective however, should be to think of
youngsters who need those classrooms The pro-
posed addition is under-building rather than
building. AT the same time ability to pay for the
improvement is excellent with little burden to in
dividual taxpayers
Ballots are secret and for the purpose of having
each voter make up his mind. Let's remember
that question the ballot is simply more class
rooms for the high school, In view of high school
enrolment increase should there be more class
rooms built? MR.

ToWn PIanninQ

It's becoming increasingly difficult in Columbia
Falls to plan sidewalks curbs and streets. Prob
lem essentially is lack of engineering
There a time that a man could put in a
sidewalk his home with good reason to ex-
pect that he might have the only sidewalk in the
block. Today, man knows his neighbors eventually
will also have a sidewalk, and problem is to get
the sidewalk in line, and on the same grade.
Harold Eagle of Morrison-M -Maierle Helena,
municipal engineers, presented Columbia Falls
town council an earful Tuesday evening.
He said his firm made brief study, and that
Columbia Falls with population of 5000 to $780,
should expect to spend from 100000 to $1,250000
for improvements. This would include $220,0O0
for curbs, $293,00 for combination curbs and
cutters Hardsurfacing the rest of the streets would
cost about $485,000, and a sanitary sewer system
about $175,000 with about $4,000 for a simple
storm sewer setup.
Obviously Columbia Falls as a town. and the
community as individuals are going to be spend
ing money in the process of becoming a city of
5000
On the basis of money to be spent for civic
improvements, need for city engineering services
become imperative, whether it is a resident engi-
neer or consulting firm.
Columbia Falls should not continue town
without engineering information to know where to
place sidewalk or curb
For that matter lack of an engineer and town
planning is presently realized. Problem is to pay
for such services One estimate of a detailed en-
gineering survey of the town establishing new
grade lines and preparing plans Tor sidewalks,
sewers, drainage and curbs is $4,000, which Col
unbia Falls does not have.
Another suggestion is sell the town-owned 81
unit housing project to some concern that would
put the rentals into good appearance and repair.
Money received by the town could be used as
revolving fund to help finance such objectives as
town engineering and planning.
Rent money from the housing project = about
$1,000 a year-mostly goes to help run the town
along with the $4,000 received from real estate
and personal property taxes Tax receipts are to
increase rapidly with construction
Whole problem of town planning and paving for
it, is something to think about. In the meantime
where do we put sidewalks and curbs, and by all
means take care that buildings aren't erected
below future street levels as is happening. MR.
Hungry Horse news., 1954-03-26
School BuiIdinq

We wonder if the proposed $160I000 bond issue
to build eight-room addition to the district high
school will carry at the polls, April 8.
1t seems that forgetting the basic
fact that the district has high school built in
1910 when there under 100 students. Now
there are 265 students. Without a population in
crease, there are lis eighth graders to be fresh
and so seniors leaving Result is next falls en-
rollment viewed as at least $50.
If voters do not approve the bond issue, high
school classes may come to be held in shifts, and
there will be all the problems of having $50 stu
dents in building considered full with 20O
Another point of course is the district having
Great Northern railroad trackage to the continental
divide and the new AAC plant. This combina-
ton brings the district of the best tax bases
in Montana The Great Northern already pays over
rs per cent of the school tax.
Our main objection to the proposed bond is
sue is that we wonder if planning shouldn't be
in terms of a new $1,000000 high school with
new gym Yet construction of such building is
not feasible now and perhaps not for few years.
In that event what will be done with the ever in

Main Street ParRinq

Columbia Falls main street makes better ap-
pearance with parallel parking, but the situation
still develops sparks.
Cars find it more difficult to park on Nucleus
avenue, and fewer automobiles accommodated.
Result is that many merchants believe parallel
parking costs them customers. The street looks
better and u.s. appear safer for traffic, but there
are objections especially from the downtown group
1t might be a good idea for the town council
to have residents express their preference April
8 when they vote at the school election. What does
the town want-parallel angular parking on
Nucleus avenue? MR.
