Valley but about 30 of these buildings would be required
at present.

Sixty adobes estimated cost ea 30.00 1800.00
Incidental expenses 200.00
2000.00

I would ask an appropriation for this if the
Valley & improvements be not acquired by the department
but should they make such purchase and allow the
allottment I will try and economize some other
branch enough to build houses to effect a complete
trial of the improvement
