Irrigation bill outlines reclamation plan and land rules
The measure redirects most proceeds from public land sales to arid lands reclamation, authorizes surveys and construction of irrigation systems, and sets terms on land entry, water rights, and funding. It limits costs to five dollars per acre, permits private management after payments, and preserves state water laws with perpetual rights. Separate notes report gifts, business moves, a fire alarm, and local appointments.
