Sewage Disposal Plant

At the last regular council
meeting Mayor Mercer announced
that Sidney would apply for fed
eral aid in the planning and con-
struction of a sewage treatment
plant.
This is a project which has
been hanging fire for a number
of years and now the time has
come when the State Board of
Health says that Sidney must
take steps to correct the pollu-

pollution is inimical to public
water supplies, propagation of
fish and wildlife and other legi-

Year For
Sidney Library

The Sidney Public Library, or
ganized in 1914 with one hundred
books completed its forty-third
year, June 80, 1857 with ap-
proximately 1900 books on its
shelves. During the year just
closed 26,389 books were loaned.
Many inquiries have been re-
ceived regarding the finances Of
the library. This library belongs
to the city of Sidney. 1t is sup
ported by a two and one-half
mill tax levied on the taxable
valuation inside the corporate
limits of Sidney. This years
taxes amounted to $3706.76.
The rent and utilities approx
mate $4,000. In addition to
this must come salaries. main
tenance, insurance, incidentals
and SO on. The trustees purchas-
ed 367 books costing $804.35. 100
books were donated. $1,000 was
paid for 81 magazines wholesale.
20 magazines were donated.
The fines, fees and rentals
amounted to $932.28, and if ev-
eryone would pay his fines there
would be quite a few more
books purchased. In addition to
the books loaned there has been
a great deal of reference work.
No record is kept of reference
work or study.
During the year $40 adults re-
ceived membership cards and 800
The adults paid fifty
cents a year, the children twenty
cents for the year. The av-
erage cost to the city for each
patron approximates $5.25.

have to be paid back until such
time as actual construction gets
under way.
After the preliminary work is
completed the city of Sidney can
apply under Section 6 of Public
Law $50 for a federal grant of
300 of the cost of the plant.
This means that the federal gov
eminent will pay 300 of the
actual cost of the construction
of the treatment plant.
Since the money for these
grants is set up on a year 10
year basis it is very important
that Sidney take steps Immediate
ly so that they will become elig-
IDLE for a grant. Application forms
lave been received and will be
filled out under the direction of
the Water and Sewer Commission
which is composed of Henning
Hanson, chairman, Lionel Gall
and Paul Ulshafer, members.
AS work progresses towards the
actual construction of the treat
ment plant committees will be
made up to inform the public as
to the type OF plant Sidney will
use, it's cost and how it is to
be financed.
Sidney Is only one of the many
towns located on the Yellowstone
that is being forced to put in a
treatment plant, but more pres
sure is being brought to bear up
on Sidney than the other cities
due to the fact that our dis
posal waste enters into another
state.
More information will be forth
coming on this subject at a later
date.

Wheat
Marketing Cards
Now Available

Eligible wheat producers may
now secure their 1857 wheat mar
keting cards by visiting or writing
the Richland County ASC office
in Sidney, Chairman Arthur An
derson of the county ASC COM
mittee has announced.
Eligible producers, Mr.. Ander-
son explained, are those who are
interested in the wheat crop on
a complying" farm - one on
which the wheat acreage is less
than the acreage allotment or Is
acres, whichever is larger-and
those who are interested in the
wheat crop on a farm where an
excess" penalty has been deter
mined and settled. Farm operators
have been notified of the wheat
acreage on their farms and the
quantity of excess" wheat, when
applicable.
Generally, excess" wheat is the
normal wheat yield for the farm
multiplied by the wheat acreage in
excess OF the allotment. Settlement
of the penalty, to qualify the pro-
ducers interested for marketing
cards. may be made by payment
of the penalty in cash, by storage
of the excess on the farm or in a
warehouse, or by delivery of the
excess to the Secretary of Agri-
culture, according to the chairman.
Persons who buy or otherwise
acquire wheat are reminded that
the penalty Of SLIP per bushel
must be collected on all wheat ac-
quired by them which is not iden-
tilted as penalty free. A 1857
marketing card presented by the
selling the wheat, a
wheat marketing certificate, a
Soil Bank delivery order, or an
intermediate buyers record and
properly completed are &C.
ceptable evidence that the buyer
may purchase the wheat without
Of penalty. Mr.. Ander-
son pointed out that the 1857 mar
card, which became effec-
i've on July l, is green In contrast
the yellow card issued for the
1865 crop.
Warehousemen may accept ex-
less wheat for storage without liza
oility for the penalty.

be at the Elks hall in Sidney on
Thursday, August 8 from 3 pm.
to z pm. The quota for this draw
ing is lis pints.
The Women of the Moose will
sponsor this drawing by recruiting
donors and furnishing workers as
staff aides, hostesses, canteen
workers, nursery supervisors, tele-
phone girl, and courtesy car with
driver to call for and take home
donors.
Should a donor need a ride to
the site of drawing call I'll between
8 and 7 pm, August 8 and the
courtesy a will call for you and
take you home after giving your
pint. A nursery supervised by
two women is provided to care
for children while parents are
giving blood.
A reciprocity program provides
means of replacing blood used by
Richland County residents in hos
pitfalls within Montana and in
most hospitals elsewhere. BY con-
tacting me as blood program
chairman, at any time, l shall
be glad to be of service to
anyone in need of blood replace
ment. Many residents of our
county have benefited by the rec
iprocity program. Blood is urgent
ly needed-it is needed all hours
of the day. One has no way of
knowing when it may be their
turn to be in need of one or more
pints. This is a busy time / know
to take time out" to come in and
give your pint but illness and ac-
cidents requiring blood take no
heed of time, they strike regard
less, and to function properly our
Center at Great Falls needs to
have its blood bank filled at all
times. If you have benefited by
having a blood TRANSMISSION won't
you recruit a donor to replace the
blood so that some one else in need
may also regain health and happi-
ness?
1t is not harmful for any healthy
adult to give blood. Persons be-
tween the ages of FL to so may
Persons between ID and
81, not of legal age must have the
written consent Of parent or guar
dian. Some conditions which dis
qualify a donor are: weight, must
be ITO pounds or more. History Of
pregnancy, and for a
of IL months following ter
of pregnancy. Infectious
diseases, anemia and high blood
pressure. Persons in doub1 about
their acceptance as donors should
come to the site of drawing where
a careful medical history will be
taken to determine eligibility. No
one should donate more frequent
y than every 8 weeks or more
than S times in a 12-month period.

Mortgage
Loans Drop

Preliminary estimates show
that mortgage lending activity
by the Nations savings and

totaled $5.O34 million to show
a five per cent drop from the

ing the six months period this
year, were $1,780 million this

during June amounted to 1901
million. This was a drop of
eight per cent below June, 1856.
