Dr. W. v. Cogswell, secretary of the state- board of health who presided at the meeting, said there are many families In eastern Montana who arc not on relief rolls but who are In need of supplementary clothing and food.

The situation Is made more acute, It was pointed out, by the fact that the government has placed the burden of direct relief on the state and local political units and many counties in the drouth area are Without funds to provide adequate aid for their needy. The more severe the drouth the smaller the amount that could be assessed in taxes and the greater the delinquencies, it was shown. As a result 6ome counties Where the relief load is heaviest have only meager funds for relief. Plan Aid Officials of the American Red Cross heard reports on activities being carried on by federal and state welfare agencies, and at the Washington, D. Red Cross headquarters will form a plan for aiding these people through the coming winter.

Assistance will consist a i of nutritious foods for youngsters-milk and cod liver all families who are trying to get by without direct relief probably will receive food and clothing through their local Red, Cross chapters, Dr. Cogswell said. It is expected tho plans for supplementary relief will be announced within the near through local Red Cross chapters, the assistance to be given in each area where drouth has reduced incomes to be baaed on the number of families who need assistance but have not applied for relief. Albert Evuns, director of disaster relief for tho Iletl Cross who distributed grants totaling approximately $100,000 here after the 1936, was one of the principal speakers at mooting.

COUNCIL PASSES LAWRENCE STREET PARKING REGULATION The much debated a i ordinance permitting two-hour parking on West Lawrence street from Main to Park streets and creating one- hour parking zones in other areas, was passed on first reading by tho city council yesterday. The vote was two to one, Councilman Noble Evans voting against it while Councilman Amos M. Shellady, the sponsor, and Mayor A. J.

Roberts voted affirmatively. As the amended ordinance now stands one-hour parking Is the on the east side of Park from Lawence to West Sixth; on both sides of West Sixth from Main to Allen; the east aide of Jackson from Srand to Broadway and the north Bide of a from Main to Jackson. Would Equalize The amendment was Oral proposed by Mr. ijhcllady two weeks ago and has been debated informally more or less since. When he first offered the resolution, -Mr.

Shellody said ho felt it was fair to How two-hour parking on West Lawrence since the same rule was sftectlve ou Hroadway and because he said ho felt It would eliminate. the city's slipperiest streels dur- ug tho winter. He advocated one-hour parking 11 the other districts ou the that motorists were narking their cars In those areas all dny and hus causing tho cue-hour parking dowi town to bo even more congested. When the amendment was offered yesterday morning Mr. Evana ob- ected to tho two-hour limit on West Lawrence.

"I a to sec one-hour parking hero," he said. "Most of the- park- ng ou that street is done hy one Icaler, whose cars are at thu curb ill day. I don't think any good ntir- )ose would be served hy lenRthen- ng the parking time to two hours." Mimy Mr. Shellady pointed out he had received many requests for a two- liour parking zone on West Lawrence by businessmen who felt that as long as the two-hour regulation xisled on Brondway the north end of town should be allowed a street with a similar regulation. Tho council recessed at noon without a vote but at the afternoon session the amended ordinance, was passed.

It will come up for second reading and final approval next Monday. Tbo amendment provides for a MO fiiio for violators. Second item of business transacted at tho afternoon session was ho awarding of contracts for anhydrous ammonia and for i i chlorine, each of which Is used by the water department. The a i a contract went to tho Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing company on it bid of 22 cents per pound for 1,500 pounds while tho chlorine contract went to the Hooker Electrochemical Company ot Tncoma, on bid of nine cents por pound tor B.OOO pounds. The chemicals are to be furnished the city i the calendar year of I Vronl.

Nelll lias erected barricades across Front street near the state liquor warehouse, a i it necessary for cars and to detour to reach It. Mr. i claims title to a strip of land theie and has held that the barricades were erected to prevent trespass. A suit to determine the, legal ulutus of Front street is now pending In district court. City A John W.

a told the council yesterdaj that in the original resolution passed when the liquor warehouse was i the council agreed to permit free in- Rrtss and agrees to the warehouse property hy way of streets already established. "The city is under no obligation whatsoever to condemn land to provide for ingress and egroos," he declared yesterday. "The S'-'lo purpose of the action now in court to determine whether that part of Front street Is a legally established and dedicated street." Hcfiued llequc.st. Mr. Mahon explained that when the action was filed the defendant, Mr.

Nelll, was asked to agree to a stipulation the barriers he had erected be removed pending determination of the case. This hr ru- fused to do, Mr. Mahon said. Later the city attorney filed application for a court order directing the removal of live barricades during pendency of the action. The defendant Immediately i a i i both Judge A.

November police court fines and bail forfeitures amounted to $673, REGULATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS Tl TREES CAN NOT OK CUT FOR SALE IN THIS DISTRICT Regulations to prevail In the Helena district of the Helena National forest in regard to cutting Christmas trees were announced yesterday by Herman O.

Flcke, ranger in charge. Three regulations will govern the taking of trees by the public this year, he said. Trees can not be cut from a designated recreational area, permits will not be granted to take trees In commercial quantities and no one is to take more than one tree. In the event, however, that a person wants to take a tree for himself and for some fraternal, civic or church organization as well, he can obtain a free permit from Mr. Flcke to allow that.

Designated Areas By designated recreation areas, the forest service means such places as the MacDonald pass camp grounds, McClellan forks district and others. The drainage area from the forest boundary to Rimini la also included In tho districts in which cutting of trees is not permitted. In addition, the forest service asks that no trees be cut from along the road side. Those who go out to bring in the Yule log or the Christmas tree should also be sure they're getting it from national forest land and not from private land, Mr. Ficke pointed out.

If a person ie going to take a tree from private land he must have permission from the owner. Mr. Flcke also requests that those who take Christmas trees from forest lands use judgment In selecting a tree of about the Bizo they want so there will be less waste and less material cast on the ground. He also urges that tree- cutters trim the stump close to the ground. Supply Short Several people have had the idea of obtaining permits to cut trees for sale but the forest service can't allow that.

Mr. Ficke said, because there Just aren't that many Christmas trees. "Glancing over the forests you'd i there were thousands of trees suitable for Christmas use." Mr. Flcke said, "but an Investigation shows that's not the case. The forest service believes every man Is entitled to go out and get a tree for his family but that's as far as the practice can be allowed." One of the best sources of supply for Christmas trees, Mr.

Ficko said, is a the Yoik where those who want lo mike i can i easily S.D. IS CALLED BY DEATH AFTEDJKEILLNE55 Mrs. Sallie D. Davidson. SO, widow of the late A.

CLARK ESTATE ASK WOULD REDUCE STATE TAX RECEIPTS BY $50jMO Executors of the estate of the late W. A. Clark, recently ordered hy the state supreme court to pay taxes totaling approximately $540,907, yesterday petitioned the tribunal for a rehearing, asking that Interest estimated at tSQ.QOO be deducted from part of the tax.

In a recent decision, handed down more than three years alter the copper magnate died at his summer home on Salmon lake, the court held the state should receive its Inheritance tax on the entire estate, before tho federal estate tax Is deducted. The state's share in inheritance- tax, as computed by the state board of equalization, Is On November 15, interest in the amount of approximately $48,000 was added to the overdue tax. It was estimated yesterday the Interest accumulates at the rate of $40 per day. Executors of the estate asked the court for a rehearing on the Interest Item, contending the estate should not be required to pay the Interest, now almost $61,000. The other phase of the court action was in deciding whether or not George John Pale, residuary legatee who received nearly $1,600.000 from the estate, should be required to pay Inheritance tax as an adopted son or a "stranger in the blood." The court held Pale was not an adopted son, and ordered the executors to pay the Inheritance tax, computed at $223,237.94 pus $35,755.26 Interest.

The original decision meant $540.907 in taxes for Montana, which would be reduced to approximately the court permits deduction of tho Interest as sought in the rehearing petition.
