74TH CONGRESS SENATE REPORT
1st Session I No. 563
AUTHORIZING PAYMENT TO NON-INDIAN CLAIMANTS
UNDER ACT OF JUNE 7, 1924 (43 STAT. L. 636)
MAY 1, 1935.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. HATCH, from the Committee on Indian Affairs, submitted the
following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 2608]
The Committee on Indian Affairs, to whom was referred the bill
(S. 2068) to authorize an appropriation to pay non-Indian claimants
whose claims have been extinguished under the act of June 7, 1924
(43 Stat. L. 636), but who have been found entitled to awards under
said act as supplemented by the act of May 31, 1933, having con-
sidered the same with a recommendation that it do pass without
amendment.
This bill was introduced at the request of the Secretary of the
Interior as set forth in his letter of April 15, 1935, a copy of which is
attached hereto and made a part of this report, as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
Washington, April 15, 1985.
The PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.
SIR: This report is submitted in accordance with the proviso to section 3 of the
act of May 31, 1933 (48 Stat. L., 108, 109), which act authorized an appropriation
in the total sum of $232,086.80 to compensate non-Indian claimants who were
found by the Pueblo Lands Board to have occupied and claimed land in good
faith but whose claims were not sustained and whose occupation was terminated
under the act of June 7, 1924 (43 Stat. L., 636), for the fair market value of lands,
improvements appurtenant thereto, and water rights.
The proviso mentioned directs the Secretary of the Interior to report back to
Congress any errors in the amount of award measured by the fair market value of
the lands involved, and any errors in the omission of legitimate claimants for
award, with evidence supporting his report and recommendations.
Two classes of appeals have been filed under this proviso; first by non-Indian
claimants whose claims for award were rejected by the Pueblo Lands Board on
account of insufficient showing as to good faith, possession, or color of title; and
second, appeals by non-Indian claimants in whose favor awards were made, but
who have applied for increased compensation.
All of the appeals were filed with Mr. Guy P. Harrington, District Cadastral
Engineer, who has made the necessary reappraisals, reviewed the evidence, and
has submitted a separate report and recommendation with each case. Copies](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.usccsset/usconset24005&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
