Conditions of Carey act accepted

 

 

 

 

 

Selection and disposal of land vested in state commission

Chap. 76–An act in relation to the act of congress known as the Carey act, and all acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, and governing the state commission of industry, agriculture and irrigation as heretofore or may be hereafter created and established by law in the control of the selection, management and disposal of all lands granted the state under the provisions thereof.

 

[Approved March 17, 1911]

 

The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and

Assembly, do enact as follows:

 

      Section 1.  That the State of Nevada hereby accepts the terms and conditions of section four of the act of congress approved August eighteenth, eighteen hundred and ninety-four (28 U. S. Stat. 372-422), commonly known as the “Carey Act,” and all acts amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto, heretofore, or which may be hereafter, passed by the congress of the United States, together with all the grants of land heretofore made, or which may hereafter be made, to the state by the general government under the provisions thereof.

      Sec. 2.  The selection, management and disposal of said land shall be vested in the state commission of industry, agriculture and irrigation as is or may be heretofore created and established by law, and the surveyor-general is hereby designated as state register of lands under the Carey act.

      Sec. 3.  Any person or persons, association, company or corporation constructing, having constructed, or desiring to construct, impounding dams, canals, ditches or other irrigation works, pumping plants, or artesian wells, to reclaim lands under the provisions of this act, may file with said commission an application for the temporary withdrawal of such lands under the provisions of the act of congress of March fifteenth, nineteen hundred and ten (public 87), designating the same by legal subdivisions.

κ1911 Statutes of Nevada, Page 85 (CHAPTER 76)κ

 

struct, impounding dams, canals, ditches or other irrigation works, pumping plants, or artesian wells, to reclaim lands under the provisions of this act, may file with said commission an application for the temporary withdrawal of such lands under the provisions of the act of congress of March fifteenth, nineteen hundred and ten (public 87), designating the same by legal subdivisions. Such application shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with such general rules and regulations as the commission may adopt and prescribe, and which shall be in conformity with any regulations of the department of the interior, and shall be accompanied by the certificate of the state engineer that application for permit to appropriate water therefor has been filed in his office.

      Sec. 4.  A filing fee of one cent per acre for the total number of acres requested to be temporarily withdrawn shall accompany such application.

      Sec. 5.  All such applications, prepared and submitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the commission and of the department of the interior, shall be referred to the state engineer who shall submit a written report thereon, and which shall cover such information regarding water supply, feasibility of project, status of the water right, and other data necessary to enable the state register of lands under the Carey act to make the proper application and certification required by the general land office in such cases. No application on which the state engineer has reported adversely shall be approved by the commission, but if the state engineer report favorably thereon, said commission shall, at its earliest convenience, consider the same, and if a majority of the members approve the application (or approve a modification of such application, in which case, on the acceptance by the applicant of such modification), said commission shall direct the state register of lands under the Carey act to file in the local U. S. land office a request for the temporary withdrawal of the lands described.

      Sec. 6.  Immediately after any application has been approved by the commission and prior to the filing of the request for the temporary withdrawal in the U. S. land office, said applicant shall deposit with the commission a sum which, according to the estimate of the state engineer, will cover the entire cost of the surveys, determinations, maps and plats required by the secretary of the interior before approving a segregation and allotment of such lands to the state. Such deposit shall be for a guarantee that all such surveys, determinations, maps and plats shall be properly and in good faith made on the part of the applicant, and completed and filed with said commission for its examination at least ninety days prior to the termination of the temporary withdrawal, and also to cover any fees and expenses of the state engineer authorized by law to be collected and charged against the applicant in such cases; and said state engineer is hereby empowered to supervise such surveys and determinations.

empowered to supervise such surveys and determinations. From time to time, as such surveys, determinations, and the preparation of such maps and plats progress, and on requisition by the state engineer, said applicant shall be reimbursed from such deposit for the accrued costs of the same; provided, that any such applicant, desiring to relinquish and abandon such project prior to the completion of such surveys and determinations, who shall serve a written notice to such effect upon the commission, accompanied with a relinquishment to the state of his application for a water right, shall be reimbursed the unexpended balance of his deposit.

      Sec. 7.  Any applicant who shall submit his application for a segregation in a form complying with the requirements of the commission and of the secretary of the interior in respect to surveys, determinations, maps, plats, water rights, etc., and which shall be approved by the state engineer and by the commission, may waive request for a temporary withdrawal and, on payment to the commission of a fee of one cent per acre, and any fee required by the state engineer for any verification thereof; and any applicant who has completed the requirements of a temporary withdrawal in respect to such fees, surveys, determinations, maps, plats, water rights, etc., and who shall pay the segregation fee required by the U. S. land office, the state register of lands under the Carey act by direction of the commission, shall file a request on the part of the state for a segregation of the lands embraced in such approved application.

      Sec. 8.  Upon the approval of the secretary of the interior of the application for a segregation, it shall be the duty of the commission to enter into a contract with the applicant for such segregation, which contract shall contain such complete specifications with respect to the system of irrigation works proposed to reclaim the lands of such segregation as the commission, by its regulations, shall prescribe; the price, conditions and terms per acre at which such works and perpetual water rights shall be sold to settlers; the price, terms and conditions on which the state is to dispose of the lands to settlers, and such other and additional requirements and stipulations as shall insure and protect the good reputation of the state, and the rights of all parties in interest from date to the complete consummation of the enterprise. Such contract shall not be entered into until the contractor shall have filed a satisfactory bond in a penal sum equal to five per cent of the estimated cost of the works, which shall be conditioned for the faithful performance of the provisions of the contract with this state; provided, that if within three months after notice by the commission to the applicant, by registered letter, addressed to his, their, or its last known address, that such segregation has been approved by the secretary of the interior, said applicant person or persons, association, company or corporation neglects or refuses to appear in person, or through its duly authorized officers, or by agent satisfying the commission of his authority so to do, to enter into and execute a contract with the state and supply the bond as required, then said person or persons, association, company or corporation shall be declared in default by the commission (unless in the opinion of the commission an extension of time, not exceeding thirty days, should be granted), and all his, their or its rights and equities therein lapsed and defaulted to the state; and the commission may advertise the equity of such applicant for sale to the highest bidder, under such rules and regulations as it may prescribe, and sell the same and enter into a contract covering such segregation with the purchaser thereof, in which case the state engineer shall transfer the application for the water right in the name of and to such purchaser.

κ1911 Statutes of Nevada, Page 87 (CHAPTER 76)κ

 

by agent satisfying the commission of his authority so to do, to enter into and execute a contract with the state and supply the bond as required, then said person or persons, association, company or corporation shall be declared in default by the commission (unless in the opinion of the commission an extension of time, not exceeding thirty days, should be granted), and all his, their or its rights and equities therein lapsed and defaulted to the state; and the commission may advertise the equity of such applicant for sale to the highest bidder, under such rules and regulations as it may prescribe, and sell the same and enter into a contract covering such segregation with the purchaser thereof, in which case the state engineer shall transfer the application for the water right in the name of and to such purchaser. The proceeds of any such sale shall be used, first, to cover the costs and expenses of advertisement and sale, second, to reimburse said defaulting applicant for his outlay in respect to such application, as the same may appear from the records and account of the commission and of the state engineer’s office, and the surplus, if any, shall be deposited in the Carey act trust fund hereinafter created. In the case of any segregation approved by the secretary of the interior prior to the date this act goes into effect, where due notice to the applicant of such approval has been made by the state land register, said three months’ limitation within which a contract must be signed shall begin to run from the date when this act goes into effect.

      Sec. 9.  No contract shall be entered into by the commission on the part of the state which requires a greater time than three years for the construction of the works, but all contracts must provide that work shall commence within three months from the date of said contract, that at least one-tenth of the construction work shall be completed within one year from the date of said contract, that construction shall be prosecuted diligently and continuously to completion, and that a cessation of the work under the contract with the state for a period of three months shall forfeit to the state all rights under said contract; provided, that if such three months’ cessation of work shall occur in whole, or in part during the months of December, January, February, and March, and shall be caused by the inclemency of the weather, it shall not be deemed a forfeiture.

      Sec. 10.  Any contract, so entered into, may be subsequently modified, if in the opinion of the commission such modification conserves and protects the public welfare and the rights of settlers: provided, that if such modification relates to changes in the irrigation works or system or to an extension of time for the completion thereof, the consent of the state engineer shall be a condition precedent to any act of the commission authorizing the same. Any contract so entered into may contain a stipulation for the subsequent enlargement of the works to irrigate more land under the Carey act, but no such enlargement shall be undertaken except in accordance with the requirements of an original application.

      Sec. 12.  No assignment by any applicant for a temporary withdrawal or segregation, of any right, interest, claim or equity therein, before or after its approval, and before contract shall actually have been entered into with the state, shall be recognized by the commission, without it be accompanied with a certificate signed by the assignee that he has had in his possession, and examined for his own information, a statement of the status of such application, or approved segregation, prepared and subscribed by the state register of lands under the Carey act of date not older than thirty days preceding the date of the execution of the assignment; and any assignment, without such statement in the actual possession of the assignee prior to the execution thereof, if for a valuable consideration shall render the assignor liable to prosecution for fraud. No assignment shall be valid until it receive the approval of the commission, when the same, or a certified copy thereof, shall be filed with the commission by the assignee.

The commission shall thereupon file in its office the application and papers relating thereto and, if allowed, issue a certificate of location to the applicant. All applications for entry shall be accompanied by a payment of twenty-five cents per acre, which shall be a partial payment on the land if the application is allowed; and all certificates when issued shall be recorded in a book to be kept for that purpose. If the application is not allowed, the twenty-five cents per acre accompanying it shall be refunded to the applicant.

No patent shall issue on an assignment of a certificate of location, or by reason of a process of foreclosure, unless the assignee or purchaser under foreclosure, possesses all the qualifications of an original applicant.

      Sec. 20.  The water rights to all lands acquired under the provisions of this act shall attach to and become appurtenant to the land as soon as the title passes from the United States to the state. Any person or persons, association, company or corporation, furnishing water for any tract of land, shall have a first and prior lien on said water right and land upon which said water is used, for all deferred payments for said water right; said lien to be in all respects prior to any other and all other liens created or attempted to be created by the owner and possessor of said land; said lien to remain in full force and effect until the last deferred payment for the water right is fully paid and satisfied according to the terms of the contract under which said water right is acquired. The contract for the water right upon which the aforesaid lien is founded shall be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county where said land is situated.

      Sec. 21.  Upon default of any deferred payments secured by any lien under the provisions of this act, the person or persons, association, company or corporation, holding or owning said lien, may foreclose the same according to the terms and conditions of the contract granting and selling to the settler the water right. All sales shall be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation, published in the county where said land and water right are situate, once each week, for six consecutive weeks, and shall be sold to the highest bidder at the front door of the court-house, or such place as may be agreed by the terms of the aforesaid contract. And the sheriff of said county shall in all cases give all notices of sale, and shall sell all such lands and water rights, and shall make and execute a certificate of sale to the purchaser thereof. And at such sale no person or persons, association, company or corporation, owning or holding any lien, shall bid in or purchase any land or water right at a greater price than the amount due on said deferred payment for said water right and land and the cost incurred in making the sale of the same.

      Sec. 22.  At any time within six months after the foreclosure sale by the sheriff of the land and water rights afore said, the original owner against whom the lien has been foreclosed, may apply to the person or persons, association, company or corporation, purchasing at such sale, to redeem such land and water rights, and the purchaser shall assign the certificate of sale of such land and water rights to such original owner upon the payment by him, within such six months, of the amount of the lien for which the same was sold, together with the interest, costs and fixed charges thereon.

If the land and water rights shall not be redeemed by any person within the times and in such manner hereinbefore provided, it shall be the duty of the sheriff, upon presentation of the certificate of sale by the original purchaser, to issue a deed or transfer as aforesaid to the purchaser. Where such land and water rights are not purchased by the lien holder at such foreclosure sale, it shall be the duty of the sheriff to first pay the lien holder out of the proceeds of such sale the amount of the lien, together with all interests, costs and fixed charges thereon, next the state and unpaid balance on the selling price of the land if patent has not issued, and any residue remaining to the person against whom such lien has been foreclosed, and for his services in such cases the sheriff shall receive the same fees as are provided by law in civil cases.
