Delegation Secures Favorable Order for Settlers in Coal Case
Williston North Dakota reports that Washington delegates secured a presidential directive directing the General Land Office to favor settlers seeking clear title where land was withheld for coal. Ninety-five percent of entries examined were deemed more valuable for farming. The order places burden on the government to prove coal value over agricultural use. Credit goes to Williston Commercial Club members and western state clubs for supplying data and backing the effort.
