mated for the coming year as follows
Twin Bridges, $685.; Boulder, $3.O5;
Warm Springs, $500, and Galen,
$13.74.
The AG had prepared list to show
what the fifty per cent liability of
the counties would cost. For each
county a high and low figure was
arrived at to show the additional fl
nancing the counties must have to
comply with House Bill lit. The low
figure is for the INDECENT persons for
which the county is now paying fees
set by law and not the per diem. The
high figure is for the additional cost
to the county if the persons now re-
sponsible for their relatives in the
institutions can not meet the per diem
rates. These rates amount to increases
from: $50 a month at Galen to
$412.2O; $25 a month atTwin Bridges

$3.50; Boulder up to $105.

Their federal action to control

Senator Maurine Neuberger of
Oregon, in interviews on the
AFL-CIO public service program,
Washington Reports to the People,
now heard on almost 700 radio sta
tions.
President Kennedy, in his
recent health measure, report
ing on the program, said:
Economic damage from air pol
luton amounts to as much as $11
billion every year in the United
States. In some 5000 communities,
various amounts of smoke, smog,
CRIME or fumes has reduced prop
erty values and, as dramatically
shown in England last year, en-
dangered life itself"

air pollution causes agricultural
losses as well. She took the instance
of fumes from aluminium plants on

many will do so. Last year a quarter
