Senator Dubois Letter on Minidoka Irrigation Funding
Senator Dubois explains to W N Shilling of Minidoka Idaho the allocation of 2 600 000 for Idaho irrigation amid nationwide pressure to divert reclamation funds. He notes pumping systems are delayed in favor of gravity projects and Idaho may see funds redirected to other states while Boise Payette and Minidoka await development. He expresses hope that Gov support and eventual government water delivery will ease local disappointment.
