Plugs For Socialist Labor

Every so often l come across people
who seem to take a keen delight in

the area can receive equitable treat

The letter said present hospital ia

bearing was told that operation of
the Fort Peck Indian Hospital has
been restricted by lack of staff per-
sonnet and that community hospitals

adequate to serve Indian patients"
A Joint planning committee, formed
in Wolf Point and Poplar, planned to
build two two hospitals with facilities
for Indians, the letter said.
However, it added, the Public
Health Service has ruled it could not
make a grant in connection with such
a proposal under existing laws.
So, bearing was told, "the two COM
munities will not be able to provide

Montana cities are eligible to share
$5O3,650 in federal funds to hell
plan and build sewage treatment
works under the new Water Pollu'
ton Control Act during the yeal
which began last July 1.
Priority is up to the state.
Congress this year authorized the
Public Health Service to make grants
to any state, municipality or inter
municipal or interstage agency for
planning and building treatment
works to prevent discharge of I'M
treated or inadequately treated sew
age or other waste into any waters.
An appropriation of $50 million was
provided for this fiscal year.
Individual grants are limited to 3O%o
of the estimated reasonable cost of
the project or $250,OOO, whichever
is less.
The act spells out six basic eligibil-
ity requirements. The project must:
BE approved by the State Water
Pollution Control Agency; conform
to state water pollution control
plan submitted under the act; be in
cluded in a comprehensive program
prepared by PHS, and be certified by
the state agency as entitled to prior
ity over other eligible projects. The
applicant must agree to pay the rest
of the cost and insure proper and
operation and maintenance.
Application forms are not yet
available. When they are, the Public
Health Service says they twill be
made available to municipal officials
and others concerned.
The new act, pushed by conserva-
is of major Importance to
Montana. You will recall that the
State Board of Health reported re-
,ently that pollution of the Yellow
stone is so excessive that an imme-
late and aggressive program of
lbatement is fully warranted"
The crucial roll call on this bill
anne in the House on June 10. The |
notion was to send the bill back to
ommittee with instructions to de- |
etc the section providing grants to
tates and cities for treatment plant
