ROAD CONSTRUCTION ON RESERVATION IS CONSIDERED LIKELY Klamath County Atrto Aworiatjon Ilack Action Itcrtill-- Taken lly Tribal Conncll Iload construction on the Klamath Indian reservation, for which thn trl- ba- "uncll recently authorlied the An.n.iii.... rrt AAA - -.. 1 expenditure of I&0.000 of tribal funds, I considered probablo by the Klamath County Auto association, which hn had tho matter up with authorities at Washlngon. The situation Is outlined In Ibo Sal lowing letter from Chai. 'II. Dttrko, commissioner of Indian affair, to Congressman N. J. Rlnnott, a copy of which recently wa received hero hy the auto associatien: I havn your letter of March 8th. In regard to n communication which you have received from one of your .con stituent requesting a ropy of a sup posed MR permitting tho department of thn Interior to use Indian money to build roads across Indian reserva tions. I assume that your correspond ent refers to It .A. 0054, Introduced by Mr. llayden. proposing to author ize appropriation for public high way across Indian reservation such appropriation to be reimbursed from tribal fund where available. Scnator Ashurst ha Introduced an Identical bill In the senate (S. 2931). Favorable reports JarpJbcttt,llhlDit-. ted on both bills. Section 3 of tho Kcdoral Highway act approved ovembor 9, 19S1 (Pub lic No. 87-6 7 th Congress), provide In part as follew: "Tho Secretary of Agriculture tx authorized to co-operato with tho Stato highway department, and with the department ot tho interior in tho construtcion ot public highway within Indian reservations, nnd to pay the amount assumed therefore from tho funds allotted or apportion ed under this Act to tho Stato wherein tho reservation is locat ed." Hy tho "amount assumed thcro foro" apparently I meant that por tion of the cost of tho road which may be paid from federal aid money made available by tho act which, un der Section 11 thereof. Is usually lim ited to SO per cent of such total cost. Tho Interpretation thua far placed up on the above quoted provision ot Sec tion 3 of tho act, has been that this namo limitation applies to roads with in Indian reservation ns well as else where. This being tho cae. fund would not brrnvalUhlo for tho othor no pnr rent of tho cost of uch road except In tho comparatively few case whern thn Indians have tribal funds that con bo used for tho purpose. On this understanding tho bills mention ed above wero Introduced In con gress with tho view of providing funds for thl purpose, thereby mak ing effectlvo tho provision for co-operation in section 3 ot tho act. However, slnco these bills wero In troduced, it has been suggested that possibly section 3 might bo so Inter preted a to permit payment. ot the entlro cost of public hlghwaysVlthln Indian reservation from federal aid money mado availablo by tho high way act. In order to cloar up this polut. tho comptroller general has boon asked for a decision on the question, but oven should tho deci sion bo favorable it Is not likely that tho states would consont to tho pay ment from their respectlvo allotments of fcdoral aid money of tho entlro cost of roads within Indian reserva tions whoro tho land Is untaxed and when, as Is tho case In u majority or Instances, such allotments urn not suftllcont for all tho public highways which tho stato wishes to construct off tho reservations. Under tho cir cumstances; thoroforo, and regard less ot tho comptroller's decision, I think it ndvlsablo that tho abovo bills bo cuacted into law. UK. WAYSOX REMOVED PORTLAND, April 1 Dr N. E.

Includ ing Chlloquln, the Wood River val loy and tho Klamath Agency. Extension of these roads to Beat ty, a distance ot some 40 miles, Is a part ot the general program, al though unlikely this year.
