Montana Legislature Debates Drought Relief Bills and Bond Plans
The Senate passed Speaker Belden’s drought relief measure authorizing county warrants up to 10000 and a fund to back them with 10 million dollars. Debates cover a wide range of bond issues, welfare commissions, and irrigation projects, with governors proposals for two extra supreme court justices and restoration of voters displaced by last election. The assembly killed Arnold’s mortgage moratorium bill and opposed the Newman-McCormick irrigation bond plan, while weighing county division and McCone county statutes. Senator Williams boasts large hay reserves as drought stories reach lawmakers. Park Smith of Lewis and Clark opposes lower freight rates for slaughter horses.
