Of is eventual construction of hospital in this COM

Back in February, 1858, Columbia Falls Chamber
Of Commerce favored plans that would lead toward
hospital in the community. committee appoint

lust being completed. Making the trip were George
Aubert Dr. W. F. Bennett, Dulane Fulton, Cecil Hud-
son and Mel Ruder.
They found that 80 bed hospital would be
100000 plus project for Columbia Falls.
Meanwhile Hoerner Brothers offered to donate
block of land as hospital SITE
A Columbia Falls Hospital association was in
corporated but particularly developments have
occurred in two years
Columbia Falls continues to be Montanas largest
community without hospital.
Roman achieved its hospital through fund drives
in community that is essentially trade and farming
center It was struggle Back in 1858, Columbia
Falls showed better financial base for hospital
drive than did Roman The situation here has con-
tinued to improve and the community now has two
resident physicians.
Before hospital building itself should be started
in Columbia Falls than 500 600 OF the estimated
$500 900 cost should be on hand as cash.
No one Individual group has stepped forward
to lead the local hospital drive, but eventually it will
come. The project is costly to build, and will
require donated time and money as well as good
management after it is completed
In the meantime, let's keep in mind that Column
bia Falls needs its own hospital. MR.

Spending Money

Listening to some folks, we get the idea that the
best government is that which costs less
If they believe that too strongly, one might con-
clude that the perfect government levied taxes.
In that event we'd be living in city, county, state
and nation without taxes-and without government In
fact there wouldn't be city, county, state or nation
In our town, 1855 has been major year for ex-
penditures We merit in new purchases. Perhaps
it was wise to make all the decisions involving ex-
pendures in 1885, Noticeable lack>o interest on
the part of local residents toward what took place
at city hall meetings.
During 1855 the city of Columbia Falls purchased
a new $4,000 grader at list pricea good grader but
no bargain To keep within the law, the unit is being
paid off at $499 month, apparently as rent. new
81 500 bookkeeping machine was purchased for the
water department in like manner. new pickup was
bought for the water department through a regular
legal bid opening, and new patrol car for the police
department was also purchased this way.
Local townspeope certainly desired that its mayor
and councilmen receive salaries Last July wage of
$50 month plus SIS for expenses was established for
the mayor, and fee of $12 meeting not exceeding $24
a month for council members
second policeman was employed at $500 month.

Urges Support For
March Of Dimes
Dear Editor:

Lear EOltOT.
In April of this year newspapers
carried word of the Salk Polio vac
cine. A month later Cutter Labora-
tories was in the headlines, and the
vaccine program nearly passed out
of the picture.
Today it is well established that
Salk vaccine is safe and effective.
Effective that is in 60 to 50 per cent
of the cases.
81 We then wonder where that leaves
us.
Here is the situation.
There are tens of thousands yet to
be vaccinated.
Further research is needed to
make the vaccine 100 per cent ef-
fective. It is safe. La
There are 10000 victims of Polio
during past years who still need our
help. Of these more than $500 are
respirator patients.
Polio cannot be forgotten yet, nor
the March of Dimes, anymore than
can we forget anyone of the 10000
who need our help to walk normal
step or take a breath of air with
out mechanical help.

Business Licenses

Columbia Falls city council is scheduled to adopt
system of business licenses at its January meeting
There is little objection the part of merchants
to this new tax.
However there is bound to be more criticism if
one man, or group of men take it upon themselves
to go through the lists of businesses and determine what
they think particular firms should pay.
We saw just such list. There were some smaller
businesses, and others that someone thought were
going broke. listed at 81 year each. Other stores
down for S. with many of them at $0 the theatre
at $25. and Of the four local mills at $25. The
three others outside city limits and not taxable
Personally we don't know any man or group of
men in Columbia Falls who are qualified to decide
who are the 81 firms, IS firms and on up.
Fee charged each firm is public information. How
many business firms want to be considered those
little 81 fellows, and by what right the S. $ SIS
and $40 businesses determined
+. The city council likely can avoid such problems
by arbitrarily adopting regulation that would pro-
vide fee based on the number Of fulltime employees
such as S. for small firm essentially operated by the
owner, and $40 and SIS for those that have more en-
ployes. Designations above all should be impartial
Another suggestion is that businesses be charged
a fee determined by the number of departments
meats, hardware, groceries, or by the comparative
size of stores
At the same time the city council should give ser
ous consideration to strengthening the peddler fees
House to house canvassers especially those who live
in our communities, cannot be legally barred from
soliciting in the city, They can however be required
to report at the city hall to check on honesty and
worth of products and pay higher fees than they do
now.
The licensing setup is purely method of raising
funds to help support the police department Person
ally favor the idea of this small city of 1900 re-
sidents finally employing a second policeman this
year One policeman in this age of the 40 hour week
certainly inadequate cop in this town never had
that pleasure.
The budget adopted last August calls for 81 OO(
to be raised for police department expenses from
business licensing Total cost of the police depart
ment including the patrol car is considered $1,000 sup
ported by licenses, fines and taxes The council won
get far with 81 business licenses.
In this whole licensing situation, we hope thu
city council doesn't try too hard They'll be criticized
less, they adopt licensing fees based on the typ.
and size of businesses, and not what they thnI
the respective businesses can individually pay MF

Hungry Horse Dam, it's last gen.
orator installed in July, 1858, is
ushering in a new era of prosperity
and industrial development into
Flathead county and western Mon
tana. Constructed by the Bureau of
Reclamation, the power from its
giant turbines is the ifeblood of new
industry and higher. standards of
living for every family in the area.
Foresight of western Montana
leaders and Original boosters of the
dam was responsible for an enabling
act requiring that the 100000 kilo-
watts generated at the dam be re-
served for sale in Montana. Bonnie
vile Power Administration, respon-
sible for marketing Hungry Horse
power and building the network of
high voltage transmission facilities
necessary to carry the power to To-
cal centers, already has an invest
ment in excess Of $18 million for
these facilities in western Montana.
Long term contracts with BPA pro-
vide for delivery of Hungry Horse
power to the Anaconda Aluminium
Co., the Victor Chemical Co. at Sill
yer Bow, Kalispell division of the
Pacific Power and Light Co., Mon.
tana Power Co., and five rural cleo.
