Cabin Owners Fight Government Land Change
Delphey describes cabins built in the late 1920s on land not owned by the government. After the government bought the land about 1940 owners have paid 12 dollars yearly rent. He argues the public should be allowed to use the area with the cabins and notes a cabin burned last year, leaving weeds four feet high after the lease was turned to the government. He questions why the government would require deduction of workers compensation awards from fund payouts and demand proof of insurance for vehicle buyers with temporary tags.
