New Rules For Land Practice


The new rules of practice governing
cases before the local land office and
department of interior have been ap-
proved by Ballinger and will go into
effect February 1st. The rules are in

layed and nullify the advantage of a
contestant of wealth over poor one.
Under the new rules a contest
against an entry or claim of record
can only be instituted by the person
who seeks to acquire title or claim an
interest in the land involved, and the
ground of contest must be based on
matters not disclosed by the land
office record. .-Edgemont Enterprise.
