Ute Indians Receive Funds From Law Suit
Uintah and Ouray Business Committee chair Reginald Curry received word from Ute Attorney Ernest Wilkinson that Ute judgments were paid via four fund transfers. Interest at 4 percent will accrue on 31,038,873.43 from Sept 29 1950, totaling about 1,277,546 yearly. Funds, deposited to the credit of the Confederated Utes, await Congress’ mission decision on division among Utah and Colorado Utes and use of the money. Four categories tallied 31,838,673.43 in total, with lands from Indians, mineral and forest assets, oil lands, and a potential Mesa Verde return for Southern and Ute Mountain Utes. Overall payments could reach 32,019,947.63. An related county irrigation project would irrigate 3,630 acres and support 20,450 more acres, aiding the proposed plan.

Voters Face Three Constitutional Amendments in Utah
Utah voters on November 7 will decide three proposed changes to the state constitution. Amendment No 1 proposes a new method for selecting the superintendent by appointment of the state board of education. Amendment No 2 removes the superintendent from elective offices and makes the state board directly elective on a nonpartisan basis. Amendment No 3 would raise the ceiling on state legislators pay from 300 to 500 dollars per year plus five dollars per day during the session, with the legislature allowed to vote itself a raise up to the limit.
