Reclamation Of Government Land Aims For Payback
Washington May 1 The acid test of the practicality of all government reclamation work is here. As of April 1 about $1,000,000 in water rights payments were due from settlers on various projects. If farmers meet payments, it proves the government can secure a return. if not, the reclamation law and service face end. Across major projects like North Platte 395 farms owed, with 227 paid last December and only about ten likely to cancel, most could relinquish profitably. Nevada’s Truckee Carson shows few delinquencies, while Washington Okanogan Sunnyside Wyoming Shoshone Montana projects forecast full compliance. Delinquencies are rare. the fund stands at over $60,000,000 with $4,500,000 in treasury not available. The outcome will vindicate the reclamation law and the engineers’ competence to recover funds. The 1909 irrigated lands yielded about $14,900,000 in crop value, boosting land values. the big question remains will the money be repaid, with indications favorable.
