Schools to gain if land deal approved
Arizona school children stand to benefit if the Navajo Hopi land settlement is approved. The plan would sell about 165000 acres of state land now leased at low rates to Babbitts and a northern Arizona rancher, funding schools via the Permanent Trust Fund. Revenues from a sale could total around 16.5 million dollars, with 8 to 10 percent annual interest supporting education. details on about 600 resident families remain to be settled. The settlement includes buying the Co-Bar Ranch and Hart Ranch. the Navajo Nation has offered 7 to 11 million for Co-Bar, with Hart Ranch priced under 5 million. The plan faces initial opposition from Flagstaff residents and Gov. Symington over Indian control of recreational lands.

Gallup's problem zones mapped by district attorney
District Attorney Forrest Buffington unveiled four Gallup maps showing where alcohol related law enforcement calls cluster. Navy blue pins mark protective custody, pink for ambulance, yellow for juvenile calls. Maps, created March through June 1991, highlight three bars plus the Casa San Martin center as dense trouble spots, prompting calls for cameras and enhanced enforcement. Buffington argues for targeted action and more funds rather than a blanket crackdown.
