GAS COMPANY SERKS STARK COUNTY LINES Montana-Dakota Power Com- pany May tay Mains to Bismarck This Summer natural gas line project contemplated by the Montana-Dakota Power com- pany of Glendive, Mont., is now being secured in Stark county. W. W. Pal- mer, Miles City engineer in charge of the work, arrived in Dickinson with his crew to make headquarters here while negotiations are being carried on with property owners. Between four and five weeks will be required to complete the work in the county, due to the bad roads and difficulties encountered in getting in touch with the farmers along the toute, Mr. Palmer said. Ordinarily the county could be covered in two weeks. Practically all necessary right of way has been secured by the company through Fallon, Dawson and Wibaux counties in Montana and Golden Val- ley and Billings counties in North Dakota, Mr. Palmer said. If the right of way can be se- cured and all cities and towns along the proposed route grant franchises, the company plans to lay mains as far east as Bismarck during the com- ing season. Construction work will start as soon as the frost is out of the ground.

Cain, Stark county, offered an amendment to strike out two sec- tions relating to the costs of construc- tion of flood prevention projects and tax levies for sinking deficits. Bond protested that the amend- ment would make the bill ineffective to accomplish what its sponsors had hoped. It already had been amend- ed to meet the objections of small property owners in the flood district who would have to pay the bill, he said. J. B. Fleckten, Ward county, said He felt the bill was fair to everyone tel . Cain said a permanent flood con- trol structure would cost from $1,000,- 009 to $5,000,000 and that it might cause tax levy totalling eight mills in addition to the special assessments. He said “if there is any bill offered at this session which would have the effect of confiscating property this is it.” He demanded that flood control tax levies be restricted to three mills now; that further study could be giv- en the problem and perhaps perman- ent relief measures inaugurated at the next session. Fowler Opposes Cain <A. W. Fowler, Cass county, said the effect of the Cain amendments would be to prevent any permanent flood control work as the result of the bill and would prevent any such plan from being submitted to the people. Cain's motion carried by a big ma- jority without a roll call and Fowler moved to delete other sections from the bill which had been rendered use- less by the Cain amendment. The emergency clause, making the bill ef- fective as soon as it is signed by the governor, was retained. In its final form the bill retained the provision for petition by flood sufferers to the country board; public hearing by the board; the outlining of @ conservancy district by the board; submission to the people of the ques- tion of whether they should proceed under the bill; an election to name five directors of the flood control board and a tax levy of three mills for flood control purposes with an additional levy of one mill per year thereafter for maintenance of flood control structures. It also that the conzervancy district directors can issue certificates of indebtedness in anticipation of collection of the three mill levy, to provide money with which to meet emergencies.

H.-Olson, one of the authors of the bill, said it had been amended until -inrecogni:able and moved to kill it. Two Desert The question was whether the law should be amended to eliminate com- pulsory listing of land for hail in- surance in counties where 85 per cent of the land had been withdrawn from its protection for three consecu- tive years. Olson’s motion lost when Sathre and William Martin. Morton county, deserted the Nonpartisans and the vote resulted in a tie. Lieu- tenant Governor Carr voted against | 1. the motion to kill. A call of the senate was had on the. vote to pass the measure but it’also was 8 tie-and the bill failed for lack of a constitutional majority. The bill on the method of taxing public utility properties followed the same course. The conference report was adopted mons, moved to kill the bill and the motion carried 25 to 23. Two conference committees had failed to agree on the gasoline tax bill and ps a third one went to work the senate killed time by listening to speeches. Oil Battle Wages The less weary went to the corner of the senate chamber where the third conference committee was put- ting on its fight. The oil business was turned inside out as the com- mittee argued whether oil dealers should get one per cent for collecting the tax or three per cent. A com- promise at one and one-half per cent finally was reached but the battle had only started. W. E. Matthael moved to kill the bill and the hardest fight of the ses- sion was in progress. 8. J. Atkins, Towner county; Cain of Stark; Lynch of La Moure and Frank Hyland, Ramsey county, supported the com- promise and Mattheei, D. H. Ham- ilton, McHenry county, and Del Pat- terson, Renville county. opposed it. Its advocates agreed that the com- mission to oil dealers was too low but that the bill is one which the people apparently want very much and a compromise was the best it was possible to obtain. Stressing the idea that it was a measure which the people want they warned the oppo- sition to think carefully before op- it. en of the opponents were but E. H.
