Montana Civic Conference Charts State Prosperity Program
All-Montana civic conference endorses a program aimed at boosting Montana prosperity and restoring the old-time spirit. Delegates from newspapers, Rotary clubs, chambers of commerce, and various associations back funding home products, Montana development, highways, public schools, law enforcement, and farm land colonization while keeping expenditures within revenues. The plan derides mixing politics with business and urges advertising the state’s resources to attract rail road summer rates and replant farmers in Montana. The convention supports a January meeting called by state agriculture commissioner Chester Davis to discuss placing selected farmers in Montana.

Housing Shortage Foreseen If 500 Families Arrive in Butte
A thorough survey of Butte’s housing finds 696 vacant houses and flats, with only 236 in good condition. Of the rest, 134 are fair and 168 in poor shape, suggesting a serious housing shortage as 500 new families could strain supplies. Local real estate men note rumors of 2,000 vacant homes, aimed to be disproved, and fear of a collapse in sales until shortages are addressed. The survey, conducted over more than a month with real estate leaders Blemons Booth, Charter Hughes, H. Shielde, W. A. Kemper, George W. Silke, Charles Jickman, John D. Wilson, Bolever & Brown, and John S. Well, concludes the city needs housing to absorb potential growth and payrolls exceeding $1.5 million monthly.
