cut on its Secondary Road Funds
Tor the year 1860. Evidently the
Highway Commission has seen fit
to withhold them from the people
OF Richland County.
In June of this year, Walker
Brown, Montana's secondary road
engineer of Helena and Mr..
Robert Roundtree, district road
engineer of Glendive met with the
Commissioners of Richland
County. At this meeting, Mr..
Brown indicated that Richland
County would have to for go their
road bid letting since their engin-
eering was not complete. Mr..
Roundtree informed the meeting
that 1T was complete and ready to
60.
We feel that Richland County
IS being unduly penalized and
that the Highway Commission
should give our people an accoun-
ing. Would you MI. Attorney
General investigate the matter as
to whether he Highway Commits

The expenditure of these secondary

Some of the secondary roac

The District government

Restoration is completed,

homes frankly were becom-

earlier-type kitchens and

Historically, it is in such
a period that any neigh

the vicisSitudes of taste and
deSirability. The staying
power of the neighhorhood

1t was here, apparently,
that the locational ad-

most significant. For it
