He said if the property would be for sale he is sure that it could be acquired. He indicated merchants are sufficiently inter ested in the property to put up the money for its purchase and de-velopment as an off-street lot. The council earlier approved a call for bids for purchase of 96 new parking meters to be used on Central avenue.

The current Central avenue meters would be relocated to Eighth street and to the Public Library area. The council recently recommended metering of the two districts. The new Central avenue parking meters, according to the specifications, will have time flags visible from both sides. A coin view win dow will expose the last coin deposited. A 'trouble flag would designate a jammed mechanism.

Monday night when the bid call for the street meters was being considered aldermen wondered if the meters for the airport might be included. After some discussion on the matter, Mayor William H. Swan-berg advised the aldermen that there is no money in the airport budget for purchase of the meters, and their installation will have to be delayed. The council confirmed the ap pointment of Harold V.

McCollum as a member of the Off-Street Parking Commission. He fills a post formerly held by J. C. Hickman. The council also approved re newal of a lease for the YMCA off- street parking lot.

While Alderman Floyd Tolliver steadfastly asked for proof of water fund solvency, before dropping a litigation threat, the council adopted a recommendation of the council's Water Committee. Following the recommendation, the council went on record that the first contract let under the water improvement program after sale of the final installment of $500,000 in water bonds should be the installation of the west side lines. They were spelled out as 16-inch and 12-inch transmission mains to serve the areas west of the Missouri River. These mains would extend from the existing 20-inch main supplying Gore Hill to a 12-inch main on Thirteenth street northwest. The report asked that the engineers be directed to pre pare plans and specifications to accomplish the "earliest possible letting of this contract." The report was signed by Alder men Fritz Norby, James B.

Austin and Chester Sullivan. Sullivan, also a representative of the Fifth Ward, west of the river, asked Tolliver for a "public statement" as to whether the resolution would satisfy him and cause him to withdraw a litigation threat which has halted the sale of the final in stallment of bonds under the bond issue. Tolliver replied that he would withdraw the threat "if someone shows me they have the money (after payment of outstanding ob Trucks Will Carry Mail On Contract Postmaster Mark Fuller Monday announced two mail routes will be contracted to help take up the slack in mail transportation created by the decision of Great Northern Railway to eliminate Western Star service through Great Falls.

Great Falls Trade Promotion Assn. directors following a meet ing Monday advanced a recom mendation to the council asking that meters be changed to provide charge of five cents a half hour with a parking time limit of one hour on Central avenue between Second and Sixth street. This was incorporated in a letter containing other recommendations including a request that the extra revenue from the additional charges be marked for purchase of off-street parking lots. While a majority of the alder men appeared inclined to go along with the recommendation for in creased charges and parking time reduction, some had misgivings about the legality of marking the revenue from street meters for pur poses other than enforcement and maintenance of meters. i A motion advanced with favor able indications of passage would have approved the first phase of the recommendation but after con siderable discussion it was decided to refer the entire recommendation to committee for further study.

Alderman Joe Parr who in terpreted the merchants' request as a desire to eliminate tne use of the cent in the street meter, charged that the plan would "drive business to the suburbs mer chants are cutting their own throats." Traffic Engineer Harvey Read, who met with the merchants, said he was not sure whether the mer chants had intended elimination of use of the cent but pointed out the main object was to promote great' er turn-over in the business park ing area. He said meters could be adjusted to retain use of the cent in addition to the nickel and dime. Alderman Fritz Norby said one of the reasons that merchants have come up with the recommendations is that their own employes are using the street parking for their own vehicles while they feed the meters. They want to eliminate this, he said. Norby said the business district parking area should be as valuable as the parking lot space where 10 cents an hour is being charged.

He said the proposal has much merit. However, Norby first raised the question of legality of the merchants' proposal for marking street parking meter money for use in purchase of parking lots. "There is no question that the city should acquire off-street park ing lots by deed," Norby added. He observed that with all of the city's best off-street parking lots currently on lease "the situation is precarious." The merchants also recommended that the funds, amounting to $33,000, obtained from sale of the Jones Gravel Pit, should be used by the city to purchase an off-street parking lot on First avenue north between Fourth and Fifth street. KUDI Head Buys Stock In KRTV Radio station KUDI President Paul Crain has purchased a 264 per cent block of KRTV, Channel stock.

Lt.

Col. Rodger Young of Great Falls, who is commander of the 120th National Guard Fighter Group headquartered here, said the group's 25 F89s, three T33s and two transport planes would be used during the exercises. The fighter group has some 35 pilots and 25 radar observers. Remainder of the 825 National Guardsmen in the group are ground support, Young said. About 250 of the group are from cities within a 150 mile radius of Great Falls.

The group is based at the Great Falls International Airport, where the exercises will get under way with a 7 a.m. rollcall on opening day. Completion Threat Holds ligations) to accomplish the work." Later he said he would withdraw the threat if it was proved that there would be half enough money to do the work after payment of outstanding bills. Last month Tolliver in a communication to the council had indicated he would withdraw the litigation threat if the city would guarantee that the money from sale of the bonds would be used to accomplish the west side work, The final phases of work under the water improvement program were held up last fall when the West Side Improvement Assn threatened litigation which officials said prevented sale of the final wa ter bonds. When this threat was dropped, Tolliver stepped in with a personal threat, Although Tolliver did not agree to dropping the litigation threat, Norby told the council he saw noth ing wrong with passing the resolution.

Norby said if Tolliver fails to withdraw the threat the bonds will not be sold and there will be no improvement to the west side ystem. Norby said the city can register warrants to pay the outstanding obligations against the water bond fund. He said there is no particu lar difference in the interest rate for registration of warrants and the sale bonds. If the bond sale is approved, he expressed belief that the contracts for the west side work can be let this fall. Norby said there is a question of location of the transmission mains, but it is not a major problem.

Both Norby and Austin said they were of the opinion that such a pledge would satisfy objections. Mayor William H. Swanberg saw no reason for adopting the report. He said aldermen already did this in effect last fall when they adopted a program of work, which included the west side improvements. This was adopted during the controversy with the Improvement Assn.

This program had called for letting of the work early this spring. If the threat of litigation had not been raised, the mayor said, the work would have been under way. At one point Tolliver asked for a report of the comptroller on the obligations and funds currently available for the west side work. James Van Koten said the matter would require a little study but he would be glad to furnish such a report. The council awarded a contract to Gray Co.

for installation of a storm drain in Clark avenue from Forty-second street to Forty-fourth street. The company's bid of was low for the work. The council approved plans and specifications for a water main to serve the new southeast elementary school on Seventh avenue north. The new 8-inch main will have to cross an unplatted area outside of the city in an easement. The council approved on first reading several ordinances for change in use and area classifi cation of property.

They included change of property at 816-22 Ninth avenue south from area use to area local business use, the old Longfellow school site; property at 4404-32 4th Ave. N. and 4405-47 3rd Ave. N. from A area A use to A area use; property at 1323 9th St S.
