Water Users in Arrears
The annual report by Elwood Mead to the interior secretary says deferment requests by farmers on federal reclamation projects are hard to decide with many deserving cases and many refusals. Arrears in 1924 reached 3 million dollars, totaling 8.5 million over five years, with the program intended to be self supporting as funds from users cover operation and construction costs. Seven projects have paid over 85 percent, seventeen over half, while others remain inadequate amid a tough agricultural mood. The article notes continued efforts to enforce repayment to justify reclamation.
