 RP]PORT OF THE STATE RECLAMATION BOARD 



The work of the State Reclamation Board in the way of supervision of mos- 

 quito control ditching and maintenance work has followed the regular proced- 

 ure during the fiscal yeai* 1935. There were no appropriations on the part of 

 the State for emergency relief work as in 1931, 1932 and 1933, but the pro-

 tions in the way of cleaning and improving were conducted in all but four. 

 During the fiscal year 1935 there was expended in these towns for maintenance 

 work the sum of $24,553.28. 



The annual budget for the expense of the Reclamation Board was $10,000 

 which was increased by $3,000 in the supplementary budget, to assist the 

 Board in the sponsorship of proposed W. P. A. projects during the late summer 

 and autumn. These projects did not materialize as planned, although much of 

 the work was taken care of by local W. P. A. projects with the endorsement 

 and periodic supervision of this Board. In January, 1935, at which time exten-
