And 1t was further provided that the purchaser of lot should be given live years in which to complete pay ment to the government, one-fifth of two-thirds of the purchase price being due each year September Is. being the date in 1916 on which the applications were allowed. was ser aside as the date of each Of the five succeeding years when a pay ment should be made

 If any person who has made par tial payment on the lot purchased by him fails to make any succeed ing payment required under these regulations at the date such pay ment becomes due, the money de posted by such person for such lot will be forfeited, and the lot, after forfeiture is declared, will be sub ject to disposition as provided herein"
