State Elevators Proposed in Bill
Senator Fred Whitesides introduces a bill to build elevators and warehouses across Montana. A warehouse board could issue bonds to fund construction, with storage charges paying interest and a sinking fund for redemption. If feasible, the plan could expand statewide to meet rising grain needs, with 602 elevators inadequate for 1916 crop. A Torrens land title bill is also planned to simplify titles by state guaranteed transfers.
