Patrons at Billings city pool began a peaceful revolt against the dress code requiring skirts and stockings. Over years the rule eroded as swimmers adopted shorter skirts and half hose, arguing heavy garments hinder enjoyment and will stop them from attending.

Three Forks Water System Sets Model for State
In the drought year the Three Forks water project stood out as a model for Montana towns. The Madison river well provides 1,200 gallons per minute to a 184 foot elevated reservoir, delivering 80 psi with fire hydrants every 366 feet. Analyses show the well supply is pure and the river water occasionally polluted. The system, built 1916–18 by Security Bridge Co. of Billings, under mayor Ralph L. Robertson, includes a 10 mile network of mains 6 to 28 inches and 4 400 gpm sewer pumps, with automatic operation and gravity sewer discharges to the Jefferson river.
