a t~elevision station to be con-
structed this coming summer near

Eagles Travel To Miles City And
Billings; Split League Tits Last Week

The Eagles Of Sidney take to
the road this week end for their
final trip during the regular sea-
SON.. Friday night the locals take
on tough Custer at Miles City
and Billings Central Saturday
night. These two contests are
rated the most important in Glass
A play this week as the three
clubs are ranked second, fourth
and fifth. Both games mean a
lot towards the final standings
in the conference.
For the locals both games are
a must if they are to finish any
where neal the top. First and
second place are almost assured
for Havre and Miles City. How
ever the important thing now is
staying away from one of the
bottom four ratings and a good
draw at tourney time. The Eagles
have a possibility of winding up
any place from second to seventh.
The bottom four clubs play a
single elimination game Wednes-
day night with the winners earn
ing a place in the tournament.
Miles City, by virtue of their
$3.50 decision over Sidney last
week, rate a nod in this one.
The Eagles will have to be an
altogether different club than
last week if they expect to stop
the Cowboys on their home court.
In sever conference road games
this eason Sidney has lost four.
When two clubs are equal the
home team has the definite adj
vantage.

The study contemplated by the
council is a broad and far-reach-
ing one, including every phase
of the State and local highway
systems. After receiving the
consultant's report, the council
expects to hold a series of public
hearings before making its rec
concentrations to the Governor
and the General Assembly.
Gov. Stanley asked the 1854
General Assembly for a one cent
a gallon increase in the State
gasoline tax to provide additional
funds for highway construction
and maintenance but his pro-
posal was defeated.
In his message to the 1856 as
sembly, the Governor made no
further proposals for a boost in
motor fuel taxes but requested
a study be made Of methods Of
increasing highway funds-a
proposal that led to speculation
he might yet make another gas
tax increase recommendation to
the assembly, perhaps in special
session.
The consultants will be paid
$32, 500.

Dam FLOODING
Alters Flavor
OfCityWoter

The Alexandria Water Co. is
flooding a bigger area behind its
new dam, causing the water to
take on an unnatural taste
temporarily, a company oficial
said.
Frank Aguila, company chem
list, assured customers the water
is safe. A spokesman said the
company. which with, its sub
sidiary. the Virginia Water Co..
serves Alexandria and parts
of Fairfax County, received a
number of complaints yesterday.
Mr.. Aguila said the peculiar
taste and odor of the water dur
ing the past few days has been
caused by algae, microscopic
plant life which is getting into
the water from the newly
flooded areas.
The new dam on Occoquan
Greek still is under construction.
However, it has been built up
enough so that water has
backed up about 10 feet deeper
than it was before.
Mr.. Aguila said the water is
being treated chemically to re-
duce the bad taste and odor and
it should be cleared up in a
day or so.

New York Firm to Aid
Virginia Highway Study

RICHMOND, June 20 (R.-A
New York firm has been selected
as consultant on the highway
study requested by the 1856 Gen.
eral Assembly, the Virginia Ad-
visory Legislative Council an
nounced today.
The consultants. Parsons,
Brinckerhoff, Hall and MacDon-
aid. are to make their report to
the concil not later than October
is. The Legislature had called
for the study to be completed by
September /. But it was found
impossible. the council said, to
make this deadline because OF
delay in enactment of the Fed
eral highway bill.
A council spokesman said this
legislation will have such a ire
mendous effect on the highway
system of the State and of the
municipalities that a study made
without any evaluation of its
effect upon them would be OF
little value"
The New York firm and sew
eral others interviewed agreed
the type of study required by the
council could not be made prior
to October Is.
