Arizona seeks 15000 for public land surveys in territory
In a heated discussion on the appropriation bill, Representative Holman and Delegate Staith pressed for an increase to fund surveys of Arizona public lands. Speaker Smith criticized the meager $5,000 allocation and urged at least $15,000 to survey 55 million acres, citing settlers suffering lack of titles and canal projects expanding land openings. President W. C. O'Neil heads Arizona World's Fair effort, returning to Tucson for territorial board work.
