Final Zonine Hearing Date Set

Final public hearing on Colum-
bia Falls proposed zoning ordin-
ance will be Monday, April II by
Columbia Falls city council.
The city's zoning commission
turned over its report to the coun-
Gil at the March meeting, Monday.
Commission members are George
Ridpath, chairman; Tom Smith,
secretary; James Clark, Archie
Corrigeux, Joe Monegan, Bill
Schmidt and L. A. Schoenberg.
A series of three public hearings
by the commission resulted in a.
mendments that would permit con-
struction of a residence in a bus
mess section, but not construction
of business in a residential area.
Lots along highway No. 40 to the
western city limits were designat-
ed as a business area, as was a
street in the Hoerner addition.
Still a part of the proposed or
dinance is the controversial res
friction that would keep service
stations out of the central business
district.
A series of readings of the So
page zoning ordinance will be held
prior to the public meeting to COM
ply with the law.
William o. Good, former Flat
head deputy sheriff and one-time
Whitefish chief of police, was en-
ployed as Columbia Falls chief OF
police. He succeeds Vern Brandes
who resigned to become part Of
the Anaconda Aluminium Co. plan
protection force. The Columbia
Falls police salary was raised from
1920 to $3.50 a month.
Other applicant was George R
Bancroft, "a, Columbia Falls, for.
mer Bureau of Reclamation EN-.

plant. He was in the Army from

the Duke to place her bet on a

The horse won. But the Duke
