Beaverhead County March Meeting Ends With Road and Bridge Actions
Beaverhead county commissioners held their March session at the court house with Chairman Gosman and commissioners Fran cis and Orr present. They approved minutes, canceled warrants, and heard Dr. M A Walker county physician report. The board authorized up to $200 for a county farm operating room, appointed Mrs Phil Anderegg as deputy assessor, accepted W H Boyle’s resignation as Lima justice and named a new constable, and appointed retiring high school trustees. They formed a county agricultural fair commission with five members and set a $1 000 appropriation, ordered procurement forms for county purchases, and arranged joint bridge inspections with Silver Bow County at Melrose and other sites. They considered Elkhorn road, awarded painting work for county buildings, offered Lot 3 Block 43 Lima for sale at $5, and planned sale notices for tax deed property. The phone system was updated to a desk phone in the clerk’s office, and a tax issue with Silver Bow Butchery Co was settled. They discussed closing the Armstead road and establishing an alternate route with conditions and a $500 appropriation pending completion.
