The Montana Attorney General Galen issued an opinion challenging the validity of the Normal College bond issue. The Examiner questions its correctness and notes decades of prior approvals by former attorneys general and boards. The piece, referencing the long debate, raises concerns over timing and potential statewide impact.
The article argues that upholding Mr Galen's opinion would trigger a serious crisis by invalidating about $500,000 in educational land grant bounds and $150,000 in the general school fund, risking repudiation of public indebtedness and halting interest and principal payments. It urges speeding a test case to the state supreme court. It also reports freight rate disputes affecting Neihart miners and comparisons with B&M ore shipments and coal transport costs.
