Wansons Land Plan Gets Eastern Boost
Washington voters will be asked to approve funds for irrigation reclamation that would create jobs and homes. The plan, presented in Seattle, Spokane, and eastern counties, calls for purchase and irrigation of idle lands, sold to new owners under cost plus improvements, with payments at six percent for about 30 years. A 60 member committee was formed to organize eastern counties for a December or January reconstruction conference. The King County Reconstruction Congress adopted officers led by William Pigott with 60 committees to handle state and federal relations, industry, finance, highways, and education.
