HOLDS DELAYS DUE
TO AN "ACT OF GOD

Attorney General Sustains RepUrchaB-

Austin, Tex, Dec. 24-The attorney
general has rendered an opinion to the
commissioner of the General land Of
flee in response to an inquiry Of the
commissioner with respect to the
rights Of those persons who sought to
take advantage CT the preference right
to repurchase school lands and who
mailed their applications to the gen
eral land office within the 80 days
from date of notice Of appraisement as
fixed by the law, but whose applica-
tons on account of the extraordinary
and unprecedented floods of the latter
part of November and the first part of
December did not reach the land Of
flee with the 80 days.
The attorney general holds that the
unprecedented floods with the result
ing decentralization of railroad traffic
and of the transportation of the mails
was an "act of God" which the appIi-
seen and was sufficient to excuse them
for their failure to file applica-
tons in the land office within the
time fixed by the law, provided the ap-
phcatiOns were mailed at such time
that they would have reached the gen
eral land office within proper time in
the ordinary course of mail and under
ordinary conditions
The attorney general also advised
the commissioner that IN those cases
in which the applications had been
T1Ied within the time required by law,
but the money for the first payment
on the lands on account Of the floods
did not reach the general land office
either at the time the applications
