Warden Seeks Restoration of Three Reclamation Items
O. Warden of Great Falls and head of the National Reclamation association urged the Senate appropriation committee to restore three items cut by the House to the interior department budget. He asked for $67,000 for irrigation-operator staff, funding for a stronger guard force, and $1,450,000 for general reclamation investigations, up from $900,000. He noted only $2,000,000 remained in the bill for reclamation and argued the West supports reallocating funds to power production for war. He claimed reclamation could supply supplemental water to 1,000,000 acres if needed for more food.
