Montana flood losses and state land swap plans
Federal and Red Cross officials report Montana flood damage this year at 569360 dollars, far smaller than the 1948 disaster. The state land board moves to trade 9353 acres in Glacier Park for federal lands, with appraisal and transfer steps led by Commissioner W P Pilgeram. A statewide OPS probe targets auto sales to curb price regulation violations, with penalties up to ten thousand dollars fine. The Malta Lewistown road project advances with an all weather road and Missouri river bridge plans near Roy, plus engineering location surveys and cost estimates. The State Supreme Court will rule on the Veterans Bonus after the attorney general's office finishes briefs. The Montana Stockgrowers hold a Summer Grass Roots meeting August 18 at McGregor Lake near Kalispell, hosting hundreds of cattlemen. A new state laboratory building in Helena will house highway, health, livestock and water agencies, funded by a 1949 legislature appropriation of six hundred thousand dollars. Prosecution of former State Industrial School staff may occur after review by the attorney general and county attorney. A dispersal sale of 70 Holstein cattle by R A Shumate and Son is set for August 3 at 11:30 a m. Alfalfa weevils are detected moving west in Madison county, threatening crops.
