value Of the land be reclaimed Is S. SO acre
while the average reclaimed value named by the state
reclamation department viii be SIPS TO $3.50
The figures are based on the actual production Of such
lands which have been reclaimed IN the past.
Under existing law, enacted about 1876 securing bonds
for reclamation lies the provision that state county, road
constitution permits only Is percent Of the assessed value
Of the land be issued bonds II is apparent then
that bonding S. land at SIPS SO land at $3.50 would
not be productive Of very large sums Hence if SIS an
needed to be raised for purposes of reclamation by
the construction Of irrigation or drainage systems the
assessed valuation Of the land be 500
bar against placing an arbitrary valuation Of 500 acre
on TINS 30 land merely Tor the purpose OF securing funds
for reclamation lies in the provision that state county road
and other taxes would have to Dc paid the high valu
