Representative Small has in-
a bill which may be of
great importance in the drain
age and reclamation of the swamp
lands, particularly of Eastern
North Carolina. Recently Rep-
of Min-
introduced a bill
the receipts from the
sale of public lands in certain
States to the drainage of swamp
lands in those States. The
of States which now have
public lands is comparatively
small. Mr. Small has redrafted
this bill, making
changes, the principal of
which is that the funds can be
used for draining swamp lands
in any State whether having
public lands or not. The bill
provides that the United States j
shall be reimbursed by easy pay-
for the expenditure re-
quired in the reclamation.
bill of Mr. Small further pro-
that lairds located in the
State and susceptible of
may also drained under
provision of the act at the option
of said State.
As North Carolina still owns
large bodies of swamp lands
which are after the tic
has been removed, unless
they can be reclaimed, it will
seen how the State could utilize
this act for its benefit. These
swamp lands in North Carolina
are owned by the State Board of
Education, and any improvement
or enhancement in value would
increase the assets of our public
schools.
Mr. Small states that the idea
is not at all impracticable,
that really conditions may be
such in the near future as to re-
in the passage of the bill.
Texas, which has no public
lands as well as the delegations
from other influential State.-, is
actively favoring this legislation.
And why not We are utilizing
the proceeds of sale of public
lands, and there is no possible
reason why should not use
part of the same funds for
the surplus water from
swamp lands and, thereby, open
up to settlement lands which will
be infinitely more fertile and
