FACTS
FOR VOTERS
ON THE
BOND
ISSUES
The following information II published to acquaint voters
with the proposals to be voted on next Monday, April 4. Careful
study and consideration of the measures is urged.
Water and Sewer Development
WATER —A new 10" main will be placed from the iniersection
of 4th Ave So. and the alley between Edgar and Fairweather
streets, thence west along the alley to West boundary street, thence
North along West boundary street to the storage tanks on the
North side. This will reduce the high pumping pressure required
to pump water to the tanks t.irougn the old and smaller mams
which were installed in 1917. and paid for by property owner
through special improvements districts By relieving the high
pumping pressure it is possible to lengthen the life of some of
the old and smaller mains which we are now forced to pump
through. All dead ends to be connected together. presently
located in various parts of town. This will give circulation and
better water service in general to those areas.
The above water improvements will tend to reduce the fnc
insurance rates on property, at least hold them at ’hmr pn^-nt
level. It is entirely possible that the Fire Insurance Rati may
be raised by continued use of our present Water system. An
anticipated 10 to 12 percent drop in insurance rates can tie ex
pected through the installation of better water distribution in
our city. ,
SEWER —A new interceptor lino will be placed from the
intersection of 2nd Ave. So and Front Street, thence Fast a long
Front Street to the East City Limits, thence South along
the East City Limits to a Lagoon type disposal at or near the
river A new sewer disposal plant has long been advocated by
the State Board of Health for Wolf Point and the most economical
type for our conditions. The Interceptor Sewer will relieve the
over-taxing of our present system at certain times of the ycai
It is known that at certain times, basements have been- flooded
and considerable damage to property caused by the inadequate
sy tem we now have and uae. The Interceptor Sewe . ai pro
posed. can relieve flooding and damage by catching the excess
flow before it reaches critical areas The existing sewer on 2nd
Ave So can be cross connected with the proposed Interceptor
Sewer along the East City Limits, thereby intercepting excess
flows before they reach critical areas.
PAYMENT —It is proposed to pay for the Water and Sewer
projects through revenue bonds to be sold and retired over a
period of 20 vea.s THE RETIREMENT OF THESE BONDS WILL
NOT REFLECT ON YOUR PROPERTY TAXES' In addition to
a slight increase in your water rates, a sewer charge will be
made"' and shown on your water billing, the total of both Water
and Sewer will be about double your present water billing. No
charge for either maintenance or operation of Sewer has ever
been made in Wolf Point. ,
The average mAnth.y revenue from' Water billing in 19.)4
was about $1830.00. Using 1954 as an average year in the future,
we would have to double that revenue to lake care of both
Water and Sewer bond retirement over a period of 20 years In
a peak month of consumption in 1'154. our revenue from water
billing w..s about .20'2C per 1000 gallons.
Fire, Airport, City Hall Developments
FIRE FIGHTING Improvements in the city’s fire fighting
facilities call for the replacement of the antiquated 1937 fine
truck and its rotary gear pump, termed in "fair" condition by
the Board of Fire Underwriters The now truck will meet re
quirements of the Board. The fire department will be able to
obt dn needed hose and replace old and condemned hose. More
and necessary fire extinquishers, hand tools, chemicals and refill
Equids will be added. A more adequate fire alarm sy tem will
be provided. In general, a favorable vote on the fire equipment
measure will bring 'he department’s equipment with which to
do the job up tn the Board of Fire Underwriters’ specifications.
Improvements outlined above, coupled with Improvements in
the City's water distribution system, will definitely give a lower
fire hazard classifica'ion to our city with a resulting decrease
in fire insurance rates. It is estimated that lower insurance rates
will more than offset the total cost of all improvements, water
and sewer, airport, and Ci’y Hall projects* combined over a
20-year period.
»
A’RPORT- With a definite increase in air travel to and
from Wolf Point, improvements arc needed at the municipal
airnort. It is planned to hard-surface runways and taxi strips
:nd tn develop and improve the entrance and parking areas.
The airport will be brought up to CAA specifications Improvc
m^n's in the airno'd will servo to assure Wolf Point of a con
tinuation of scheduled air-lines service; something northcast
Montana must guard against losing in the interest of our health,
oornfnrt and oenornl oonnomv This, especially in view of our
inadequate transportation facilities into the south and southwest
sector of the country.
Passage of the Wolf Point bond issue is of paramount im
portance as the first Sten in qualifying for an additional $43,0000(1
federal aid grant evnected to snnnlcment local funds in planning
nirnort developments under existing aid programs. Failure to
improve runways, taxi s’rips. and other facilities could cause
Wolf Point to lose Rf scheduled airline service. Wolf Point is
at nresent THE (W’Y CITY IM MONTANA enjoying the con-
V nnioncos and nrivilcnes of scheduled airlines service THAT
DOFS NOT HAVE A HARD-SURFACED. ALL-WEATHER RUN
WAY!
CITY HALL—Present facilities arc entirely inadequate for
city government. The building now used as the City Hall is
much too small to bold gatherings of citizens interested in city
government: Council members are crowded into one small room
for their business sessions. Space for necessary record-keeping
and filing is practically non-existent.
The nresent building is in a sad state of renair. with the
floor sagging and in generally poor condition. To repair the
building and put it in respectable condition would entail the
expenditure of several thousand dollars. Civic pride alone
encourages the construction of a City Hall of which we. as
cui-nnc n f Wolf Point, mils’ not apologize for nor bo ashamed
of. Visitors to our city gauge and evaluate us as citizens by th<*
anoearance of our schools, churches, business buildings and - our
municipal buildings. A relatively small sum indeed is asked
for the construction of a respectable City Hall which will house
our police department, city engineer’s office, water department,
fire department and provide adequate facilities for members of
our city government.
PAYMENT -It is proposed to pay for the Fire. Airport and
Citv Hall nroiecLs through General Obligation bonds to bo sold
and retired over a period of 20 years. The retirement of these
bonds will reflect in your taxes It is estimated that the amount
you will pay annually will not be more than 5 of the taxes
you paid in 1954. As mentioned above under FIRE, it is entirely
possible that the savings on Fire Insurance Premiums will be
more than enough to offset the estimated 5.65% increase in tnxes.
Let’s Vote Monday. April 4!—Let's Vote Right!
