Indian Land Lease Deal In Air Over Rent Default
The Interior Department moved to possibly cancel a 25 year lease with Colorado River Enterprises for 67 acres of agricultural and industrial land near Parker Arizona after the company failed to pay the initial 40 000 rent by the deadline. Interior spokesman Merrill M. Torner said the matter could be sent to the Justice Department for action and possible contract cancellation. The Phoenix firm led by E W Barton had previously sent a personal check for the rent which bounced when funds were withdrawn before it reached the bank. The lease would have allowed development of large tracts near Parker including a residential section.
