Excerpt from General Reclamation Circular: Approved May 18, 1916, Laws and Regulations Relating to the Reclamation of Arid Lands by the United States
Registers and receivers in their action on applications to make homestead entry under the provisions of this act will be governed by the records of their office and will note on all entries allowed hereunder the homestead number and date of the relinquished entry and the fact that the new entry is allowed subject to the provisions of section 10 of the act of August 13, 1914 (38 Stat., 686).
4. Entries are permitted under the act of February 18, 1911, as amended by section 10 of the act of August 13, 1914, upon the relinquishment of an entry made prior to June 25, 1910, and the right to enter such land is not limited to one or more entries or entry men. (Lena Hektner, 42 L. D., 462.) This act has no application where the cancellation of the entry made prior to June 25, 1910, was the result of a contest or of a relinquishment resulting from the same. (Fred V. Hook, 41 L. D., 67.) The act is also inapplicable in the case of lands withdrawn under the first form and has reference only to lands covered, by second-form withdrawals. (Annie G. Parker, 40 L. D., 406.)
5. Homestead entries of lands platted to farm units and covered by public notice are made practically in the same manner as the ordinary homestead entry, and registers and receivers will allow homestead applications for such lands, if found regular, and accompanied by a certificate of the project manager showing that water-right application has been filed and the proper water-right charges deposited. No application to make homestead entry of lands within a reclamation project and covered by public notice will be received unless accompanied by such certificate of the project manager. Where under the reclamation law lands within the reclamation project are subject to entry notwithstanding public notice covering said lands has not yet issued, such certificate of the project manager is not required, and in such cases the application, if otherwise regular, will be received and entry allowed. The register and receiver will immediately notify the project manager of each entry allowed, stating whether the entry was allowed with or without the certificate of the project manager above referred to.
6. Registers and receivers will indorse across the face of each homestead application, when allowed under the reclamation act, the following: "This entry allowed subject to the provisions of the act of June 17, 1902 (32 Stat., 388)," and will advise each entryman of the provisions of the act by furnishing him with a copy of this circular.
7. These entries are not subject to the commutation provisions of the homestead law, and on the determination by the Secretary of the Interior that the proposed irrigation project is practicable, the entries hitherto made and not conforming to an established farm unit may be reduced in area to the limit representing the acreage which, in the opinion of the Secretary, may be reasonably required for the support of a family upon the lands in question, and the lands within a project are platted to farm units representing such areas.
