San Carlos Dam Plan With Indian Still in View
The amendment to the Indian Appropriation acts authorizes preliminary investigations and cost estimates for a dam across the Gila River near San Carlos Arizona. It envisions storing water for the Gila River Reservation Indians, with excess for reclaiming public lands, and directs surveys, canal plans, and Indian labor use while reserving lands until irrigable areas are designated. The bill sets a 100,000 dollar cap and directs studies on adequate water supply per Walker Graves report, without binding the U.S. to construction.
