Within the boundaries described by
the association, it is empowered to

able from the land. After all water
rights have been acquired and every

the land, furnishing sufficient water
to reclaim the entire tract.
Each acre of land is to represent a
share in the association. and no ,ne
man is allowed to hold more than so

When majority of the shares are
subscribed, the government will begin
operations. hoping to see the entire
amount of shares subscribed in good

of 100 acres is required to sell it, and
if he is unable to so sell at the end of
