Legislature Divides Bond Money For Montana Universities
Montana lawmakers allocated a $5 million bond issue among the six state universities led by Missoula and Bozeman campuses. The plan caps a two year dispute over spending and assigns specific sums to each unit. The senate also backed nonpartisan action on taxation for cooperatives while defeating a measure to reclassify lands for uniform county taxation. Four new laws were signed, including veterans housing purchases by cities, extra check honor time, juvenile fishing water set asides, and a $55,000 appropriation for the 1951 legislature.
