County Ask to Amend Patents for Settlers on Reclamation Lands
Teton county commissioners urge Congress to amend the patent law for settlers on government reclamation projects. They want patent issued after residence and cultivation, with payment of all reclamation and water charges at final proof, and future payments collected by the county treasurer. The board says the change would help farmers obtain financial aid. They note 25,000 acres in Teton county will be watered by reclamation ditches this year.
