Soldiers settlement bill aims to aid veterans with public land farms
Washington reports a veterans land settlement bill delaying passage. It would employ discharged soldiers at four dollars a day to develop public lands and offer land leases with flexible terms. Eligible settlers could borrow up to two thousand dollars for farm development. The plan authorizes up to five hundred million dollars and empowers the interior secretary to acquire lands, improve sites, and build roads for irrigation and drainage, with up to forty years to complete payments and expert guidance provided.
