Rubottom Urges
Alerhess To
Fire Dangers

Farmers and ranchers in Mon
6ana are urged by c. v. Rubottorr
state coordinator of the Montana
Rural Fire Fighters Service, to
be alert from now on to the dan
ger of fire.
"The 1855 fire season has def
initely arrived" he said, land re-
ports from county extension agents
over the state show that already
81 grass fires have occurred dur
ing the moRth of April alone"
More than 1000 acres were
burned in the fires that occurred
this month with an estimated loss
of $1,000, he said.
The closed fire season Is one
good weapon for the control Of
field fires, he said, and two coun-
ties are, already closed to the burn
ing of trash, weeds or stubbIe
without a permit.
Rubottom also calls attention to
the prevalence of brooder house
fires at this season of the year.
In fact, among a number of farm
buildings that burned this spring,
one was a brooder house in which
500 chicks were lost. Records of
the MRFFS show that from 1947
to 1855 there were SIS chicken
house and brooder fires reported.
Such fires r not only costly in
themselves, he said, but they also
endanger other buildings on the
farm.
To prevent brooder fires, Ru-
bottom suggests that farmers in
spect brooder equipment to see
that it is in safe operating con-
dition, that electric circuits are
not overloaded and that oil heat
ers are properly adjusted.

To Finance New Hospital

would authorize a SO million
bond issue to be paid off by a
tax not to exceed 7 cents per

residents of the 18th election
district. excluding Takoma Park
and Kensington.
Criticism Is Offered
Mr.. Boyd said the private plan
could be undertaken at any
time but that the hospital would
be a private hospital and not a
general one open to all resi-
dents.
ut would serve only those who
could afford to pay the rates de-
manded," Mr.. Boyd said.
The association president
added that a drive made by pro-
fessional fund raisers in the late
1940s had a goal of SIS million
but that the association received
only $4,000 in contributions and
another $4,000 in pledges.
The proposed 225-bed hospital
repeatedly would cost in excess
of 81 million. The Bartolini
group wants a referendum on the
proposed bond issue and method
/ of taxation.

The authorizations do not
necessarily mean the council is
going to float all the bonds au-
Ithorized during the year.
But the authorizations usually
are based on budgetary requests
from the school board and on
need being considered by the
county manager.
The managers budget is due
for submission to the council
Tuesday. Actual amounts to be
budgeted for capital improve
mentS are not fixed generally
until late June.
Included in the authorizations
were S13.5 million for school
construction (bill number 1877
81 million for street. highway
and storm drainage projects (bill

County Council to Weigh
Management Authority

Legislation creating a Mont
gomery County development au-
thority to manage self-support-
ing county projects is being
prepared for introduction at a
special county council legislative
session tonight.
The measure suggested by
County Manager M. L. Reese
would set up the authority which
could issue bonds and operate
public services.
Under such a proposal, the
county could buy land, lease it
to the authority which in turn
would operate it on a service
charge basis.
Such an authority could oper-
ate hospitals--as that proposed
for Silver Spring and now being
considered by the county coun-
cil-airports. parking garages,
public markets, auditoriums, sta
diums, transportation systems
and the like.
A number of residents have
expressed interest in establish
ment of a county airport and at
one time the old county farm
near Rockville was considered as
a site.
The only major remaining pri-
vate airport in the county, Con-
gressional Airport just south of
Rockville, is being abandoned to
make way for new commercial
and residential development.
Bonds f1oated by the authority
would not be chargable to the
county's bonding credit and
would not be backed up by the
county. Mr.. Reese said.
Bills authorizing bond issues
totalling $22.9 million were in
troduced in yesterdays county
council session.
The record-breaking authori-
cation appeared to indicate the
county would take on a big cap
ital improvements program in
the fiscal year beginning July /

Three alternate financing plans
for construction of the proposed
Silver Spring Hospital today
were submitted to the Montgom-

The proposals were made by
Julian A. Bartolini, chairman OF

Association. which is opposing
a formal plan now before the
council for financing the con-
Istruction.
Doubt as to the possible sue
cess of the new proposals was
expressed by Ralph D. Boyd

Hospital Association which is
supporting the plan before the
council.
Outline of Proposal
Mr.. Bartolini proposed:
l. Private financing by laymen
and doctors similar to Doctors
Hospital in the District.
2. The raising of the entire
81 million needed by a combined
drive by professional fund-rais-
erS and civic groups in the
county.

paid off by a special tax on all
