Industrial School Site Chosen
The Industrial School Commission report recommends Fort Grant as the ideal site, noting 26 miles from Wilcox, 45,000 acres surrounding the old post, strong water and sanitary conditions, and proximity to an automobile road through Sulphur Springs Valley. If Congress blocks the Fort Grant bill, a 640 acre Roosevelt Dam area north of Phoenix is proposed as an alternative with irrigation water and proximity to population centers.
