A half million dollars would 1m made available for the remainder of the fiscal year and the rest in yearly instalments of $lr 000,000. The secretary of the interior would apportion the money among the several states in proportion to their respective areas of Indian lands. In a letter to Howard C.

While this is not a large sum compared to the total taxable proiierty of your state, yet roads must be built through the lands of these Indians, and it is not fair that the cost of the same be borne by your taxpayers.
