Montana Irrigation Funds Pledged For Western Plan
Senator Harry Gallwey reports from Salt Lake that Montana aims to raise funds for western irrigation. A $40 000 pool will be split among states to back a $250 000 000 federal irrigation push with governors and delegates traveling to Washington to lobby Congress. Each county must raise $100 through local chambers or clubs.
