RECOMMENDS $30,000,000 BOND ISSUE. 



In his annual report of conditions in the Department 

 of the Interior, Secretary Ballinger makes numerous ob- 

 servations and recommendations in relation to the pro- 

 jected work on the reclamation of arid lands, chief among 

 which is his declaration that prospective funds to be 

 derived from the sale of lands and water rights will be 

 inadequate to actively pursue projected work. To relieve 

 the situation he suggests a bond issue of $30,000,000 to 

 be negotiated in blocks, under the direction of his de- 

 partment, as needed for the early completion of projects 

 now partly finished. 



Under the act of 1902 it is required that the Govern- 

 ment expend a certain amount of the money obtained 

 from the sale of lands, on reclamation projects within 

 the state wherein such sales were made. Through the 

 additional funds to be gained from the bond issue it is 

 proposed to comply with this requirement and give to 

 those states the work heretofore denied them because of 

 the necessity for heavy expenditures to complete projects 

 in other states. 



Among other amendments, an amendment to permit 

 the assignment of homestead entries, within projects, 

 after entrymen have completed five years' residence and 

 cultivation and made proof thereof, is recommended.
