ton was encouraged by the pueblo
system. Upon agreement to settle a
specified number Of persons. a townsite
privilege would be granted to an indi-
vidual who received. in addition to the
town lots within the limits specified,
the local political rights. including the
appointment of the alcalde and other
local governing officers. One of the
conditions was that the proprietor
should build a church and grant the
power of appointing the officiating
priest to the crown. The crown also
| reserved the title to the public square
and to sufficient land for common pas
| turage and other incidents of COM
| munal life. Provision was also made
for subsequent grants of agricultural
and grazing lands in such Quantities as
might be required by the proprietor or
| those who might colonize under his d.
| rection.
So far as enactment went the rights
of the native Inhabitants were care
fully protected. Frequent mandatory
laws were made that the Indians were
to have all the land allotted to them
| that they could use for agricultural or
| grazing purposes, and in the regula-
| tions for taking up land careful pro-
vision was made against encroachment
on land SO allotted or on land which
was in actual occupation by the ma
tives, even If there had been no formal
allotment.
This great body of land laws, Gus
toms and traditions was engrafted on
the wholly different system of the
lupe Hidalgo. in 1s4s. and by the
treaty of Mesilla, in 1853. These two
treaties adjusted the differences which
had caused the war with Mexico. and
they involved the recognition by the
United States of the land titles having
their origin in Spanish grants. The
land affected lay not only in California
and Texas, but in the territories, now
Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona.
By the assignment of all public land
within It's borders to Texas. the ques-
lions OF land titles in Texas were re-
moved to the courts of that state, but
for years questions arising out Of the
contests between the Spanish grantees
and between persons in actual pos
| session and Spanish grantees In the
remainder Of the former Spanish coun-
try filled the United States courts. In
| many of these cases final relief could
not be afforded by the courts, and 1t
was necessary to obtain acts Of Con-
