Proposed legislation to pro-

stock brokers here has been
drafted by a committee Of ex-
perts and now awaits action by
the District Commissioners.
The measure would give the
District the power to license
and regulate securities dealers
and statesmen and would open
the way to prosecution Of the
shady operators for a wide
variety Of offenses. Similar
measures are now on the books
Of 48 Of the so States.
Hopes for City Action
The provisions Of the pro-
posed law are aimed particu-
larry at protecting investors
against securities dealers and
statesmen who know nothing
about the business or who pay
their rent with investors funds
or who apply high pressure
tactics TO sell questionable
stocks.

Work is continuing through
out central Montana to lower
100 other Minutemen into their

Each missile is programmed
for a specific target and has
its own guidance system to take

mated l0-year expenditure of
more than So billion, the United
States Is expected to have more

Montgomery
School Budget
Airing Slated.

Montgomery County taxpay-
ers have been given the OPP
portunity to do their own de-
tective work on the 1963-64
school budget, which has al
ready caused debate between
administrators and the ma
jority of the school board.
Supt. c. Taylor Whittier said
yesterday that the top echelon
of his staff will be directed
to answer specific questions on
the budget at a special open
house" January 10 at the Ed
Vocational Services Center,
Rockville.
The superintendent pro-
posed $55.5 million budget, SIS
million higher than this years
record budget, has caused wide
spread citizen comment.
The majority of the school
board, elected last month on
an economy platform, directed
DR.. Whittier to put priority
tags on spending items in case
the budget has to be cut back
to this years level.
DR.. Whittier said yesterday
that civic association leaders
had been invited to view the
budget in advance of public
hearings three years ago.
This year." the superin-
tendent said, I'VE decided to go
one step further and make the
department heads and staff
available to answer any ques-
tons on the capital or operat-
ing budgets"
Invitations to the open
house, which begins at 8 PM,
have been sent to organiza-
tons interested in school bud
gets, but any resident may at
tend and ask any pertinent
question, the superintendent
added.
School spending will also be
the topic January IA, when the
board interviews architects,
building contractors and engi-
neers about school construc-
ton policies.
This was one of the major
issues in the school board cam
paign, with the four victors
charging wasteful practices in
school construction.
These special meetings are
in addition to the regular
board meeting next Wednesday
when the annual budget re-
view begins.

The At per cent forecast in

The forecasting techniques

the rail system would cost $783

that the effect on bus compa-
