sion of congress. 1t will probably re-
suit in considerable additions to the

ate the purpose of the bill is ''tO pro-
vide for the establishment of townsites
in connection with irrigation projects
under the reclamation act Of 1902,
and also to authorize the secretary of
the interior to furnish water for such
towns and to dispose of the lands at
public sale, the money so obtained to
be ultimately turned over to the rec
lamation fund.
1.-THE bill provides that reclamation
funds may be used to defray the net
essary expenses of appraisement and
sale, and that the public reservations
in such townsites shall be improved
and maintained by the town authori-
ties ut the expense of such town, and
upon the organization thereof ~ "a

vations shall be conveyed to such cor
porations by the secretary of the inte-
rior, with the condition that they
