Washington.-Since the enactment
= the Curtis bill empowering the sec
rotary Of the interior to modify and
rsarrange specific payments to the
Reclamation Service. with q view Of
affording relief to needy settlers un'
der reclamation projects, steadily
Increasing number of applications
have reached the department through
members Of Congress. The disposi-
ton Of these cases presents a serious
problem to the secretary. who has
thus far announced no definite pro-
cedure to govern this class of cases.
From members who have taken
these matters up with the secretary's
office 1t 10 learned that 1t is not the
intention to grant wholesale and wide
spread relief under this act. and that
only upon an exceptionally strong
showing will isolated Individual cases
be granted relief. The department con-
strues the law to contemplate relief
Of communities where unfavorable
conditions prevented the raising of
crop. On some projects the late de-
livery of water, or lack OF water
caused by repairs to bitches or canals,
are given as justifiable cases warrant
ing the application of the Curtis act.
Severe and unusual frosts or other un-
favorable climatic condition. whereby
the settler was prevented from real
ixing on the product Of his land, are
other worthy considerations emitting
relief.
The mere claim that a settler has
not money to meet his payments will
not of itself be ground for relief, and
isolated cases must prove some fur
ther claim in order to receive the ben
eft of the law.
