climate" memorial Montana Power
and the State Chamber of Commerce
pushed SO vociferously the two years
prior to the memorials enactment by
the 1861 Legislative Assembly.
In this connection, the council reso-
luton points out that although the
Montana product can be purchased
for less than a third of the claimed
21 cents per thousand cubic feet cost
to the utility of Canadian gas, the
utility prefers to cross the Inter-
national Boundary for additional gas
supply. The question was raised as
to whether Montana Powers owner
ship of so per cent of the gas it plans
to bring in from Canada has bearing
on it's not purchasing Montana-pro-
duced gas; whether this is an integral
part of the foundation ON which the
company contends it must have a
stiff increase in rates in order to
meet the $2.5 million per year higher
cost for Canadian gas.

The split-hearing on the applica-
ton will be held May % and July IL,
The first hearing will be in the House
Chambers of the State Capitol in
Helena and will feature Montana
Powers presentation in behalf of the
% to over 100 per cent increases the
utility is seeking. The second half
of the hearing will be in Butte in
Judge McClernan's courtroom of the
Silver Bow County Courthouse, at
which time protestants to the in
creases will present their case in
opposition.
Prior to the opposition expressed
by the Helena labor group Monday
night, the city councils of Both Butte
and Anaconda had gone on record
against the proposed hike in rates.
$35 TO $50 A YEAR
The Helena councils resolution
asserts that the % per cent in
crease requested by MPCo. for resi-
Dental customers in the western part
of the state will increase the average
home owners gas bill between $35
and $50 year.
This increase, the council con-
tends, is not justified on the COM
pany's earning ability. The council
points out that MPCo. "has shown
an increasingly profitable opera
ton each and every year and con-
tinues to be one of the finest "blue
chip Investments in the utility

dends in five short years have in
creased about 80 per cent or from

Another point in the councils reso-
luton further emphasizes MPCo.'s
profitable operation by noting that
whereas utilities the nation over only
had net income, after taxes, averag-
ing 1875 per cent in 1860, Montana
Power showed net, after taxes, in
come of 23 per cent in 1860.
Still another important contention
of the council centers on the power
company's assertion that it must in
vest six million dollars in plant ex-
pansion. The council contends that
it is improper financial practice to
place the cost of plant and service
expansion on present customers, that
the utility should borrow the funds
needed for expansion from the money
market and amortize the cost against
income expected to result from bring
ing gas to more customers.

State Welfare Board Reviews
Silver Bows Fiscal Policies

| Silver Bow county's request for
$4,000 to operate its poor fund
for the month of May resulted in a
complete review of the county's fis-
cal policies at the Welfare Boards
meeting Tuesday.
County Commissioner Frank Gorsh
and Assistant County Attorney Dave
Holland stoutly defended the prac-
tees followed in Silver Bow. AS a
result, they obtained 100000 for the
economic stricken Butte area, of
which $4,000 is state grant in aid.
Welfare Chairman Jeramy G..
Thane, Missoula, was particularly
critical of the operation of the new
county hospital. The five doctors
seemed to be too many.
GORSH CONTENDS COSTS
NOT OUT OF LINE
Gorsh said that this was not out
of line. The Welfare should look
at the pay given to doctors at
the convalescent hospital in Great
Falls for comparison.
Forty per cent of the patients in
the modern medical facility, of which
Butte is particularly proud, are pri-
waite patients who contribute 81 per
cent of the income of the hospital
The other so per cent are welfare
recipients who would have to be cared
for at the rates charged by private
hospitals if the county had not built
its own.
1t was brought out that 80 patients
in the hospital were from other coun-
ties and that they were being charged
only 80 dollars a month for care.
The Welfare Board explained that
full private rates should be charged
to the counties from which the pa
TENTS came. This will result in over
a third of million more income for
the hospital.
A second surgery section was OPP
ened recently and third is now be-

| ing readied. The 140-bed institution
can be crowded up to $50. The mod
ern plant allows the hiring of only
one person per bed while other insti-
tutions must hire three to four per-
sons per bed to function.
TAX DEED SALE PRACTICE
CRITICISED
Other criticism, based upon reports
of the State Examiners office, con-
cerned handling of delinquent prop
erty taxes. 1t has been the practice in
Silver Bow to sell tax deeds in pri-
vate sales since 1852 which according
to the Examiner resulted in the re-
turn of only one per cent of the true
value of the land. The sales are now
advertised but the value of the land
has depressed with the economic con-
ditions. When Butte was booming
these sales were attended by more
than 200 but now if ten persons show
up it is fortunate.
The practice of charging the poor
fund with costs of administering sur
plus food programs was also criti-
cised by the Examiner This practice
has the approval of an Attorney Gen.
erals opinion which carries more adj
value than an Examin-
er's report.
The food stamp pilot program which
should begin operation before June
will be charged against the poor fund

tions unless new opinion is sought

commissioners

The food stamps have been printed
and are in transit to Butte. The
amount of bonus, or difference be-
tween the face value of the stamps
and the amount of money which must
be paid for them, has been determined
according to sliding scale. A single
