Housing Program
At No Local Cost

At a recent meeting of the
Board of Trustees of School Dis.
trict No. Q, group of citizens
appeared to offer their protest
to the proposed housing project
now in the planning stage.
Completion of the project Is
wholly dependent on the all0ca.
ton of money by the Federal
Government under p. l.. 8l5. II
the money is Forthcoming il will
be one of the very rare times
that housing for teachers has
been an outright gift by the gov.
Crnmcnt.
The prOtcStin. citizens were
concerned about property being
taken from the tax rolls and the
possible increase in taxes be-
cause of the proposed project. In
answer to the questions, the
school administration assured
the concerned citizens that the
property on which the houses
were to be built was already
purchased by the district and
therefore was tax exempt and
that there was no tax money re.
quircd to construct or maintain
the houses. Rentals of the houses
to teachers would enable the dis.
trict to maintain the homes and
likewise build a sinking fund to
construct additional homes. II
was pointed out that cah year
Browning was faced with the
very real problem of being un.
able to secure teachers because
of the desperate shortage of
housing. In the event that
Browning does have the unbc.
licvably good fortune to secure
homes for teachers at no local
cost the benefits to the com.
munity will accrue in many
ways: namely an assurance of an
adequate supply of good teach.
rrs and al least seven more
water users to help pay off the
water bond.

fcssor. gave an excellent address
on the subject Human Rela.

The meeting had been arrang.
cd by Mrs. Mac Williamson. with
the assistance of local school
faculty and school board Off.

good attendance would result.
The weather was partially to
blame for the small crowd. as
ii was cold and windy that night,
but II Is felt that much more in.

DR.. Thatcher gave an excellent
address, and pointed out the
serious effort that Is being made
throughout Montana. and es.
pccially by the State University,
to improve conditions among the
Indian people of the state. Bet.
ter housing. better educational

Smith said. compared with

Indians have received education

they merged easily with whites

few Indians remain in high
school long enough TO graduate.
The school absentee problem.
Smith said. has been with the
Roxy Boy Indians for some time.
The low percentage of Indian
graduates from high school
stems from lack of pupil trans.
portation. But even more so. he
said. it stems from their inability
to meet scholastic standards.
An illusion among white poo

However. where tribes or in.

the essentials of real oil boom,
as evidently expected by a num-
bcr of the major companies who
