Dominion Government Seeks Land Payment For Sumas Scheme
The Dominion government seeks $1 an acre for about 12 000 acres of Sumas Lake land to be deeded to the province for reclamation. Hon. Arthur Meighen backs the policy of a nominal rate for public lands, while Barrow argues the original promise and uses of land for returned servicemen. Tests show dredged soil supports strong crop growth similar to reclaimed land in Froland.
