Show Mr. A. W. Simington, Special Allotting Agent, Towaoc, Colorado. My dear Mr. Simington: Reference is made to prior correspondence concerning stock driveways through Cottonwood Canyon in San Juan County, Utah, which matter was taken up sometime ago with the Department of Agriculture. A letter has just been received from the Department of Agriculture, dated April 29, 1924, in answer to our recent request for information, and the following is taken therefrom: "Since Department letter of December 4, 1923, was written the matter of the driveway in Cottonwood Canyon in San Juan County, Utah, has been considered by the local National Forest officers who report that in a conference with Mr. E. Z. Black of the Indian Office it was decided that no repairs would be made to improve the driveway. It was agreed by them that the present driveway would answer the purposes of the limited travel up the creek bottom. Under date of March 12 the District Forester stated that the Superintendent of the Consolidated Agency was being informed of the facts." In view of this situation, you may submit in the usual manner, any of the allotment applications which you have withheld pending the outcome of this matter. Very truly yours, (Signed) C. F. Hauke Chief Clerk |
