Rail line changes put irrigation under Montana commission
Montana irrigation districts now fall under two plans with approval of H. B. 97. The Montana Irrigation Commission will supervise districts, with members drawn from the Montana Railroad Commission and engineers appointed by the same body. The bill allows bond certification by either the old 1909 panel or the irrigation commission. All steps from petition to dissolution of districts move under the irrigation commission. The commission also oversees the blue sky law S. B. 103 and H. B. 213 on oil pipelines as common carriers, while hearings on freight classifications must be held by the railroad commission.
