irrigation purposes can be delivered from such system, shall pay, on or 
before November 15, 1920, a sum equal to 5 percent of the per acre cost, 
as of June 30, 1920, of the construction of the system under which such

further notice, the land owners, as therein prescribed, shall pay 5 
percent of the per acre construction cost as of June 30, of the current 
year, such per acre cost to be determined by dividing the cost of the 
system to June 30 of that year by the total area of land to which water 
for irrigation purposes can be delivered from the system on that date. 
Provision is contained that no payments shall be required under the 
regulations in behalf of lands still in process of allotment or prior to 
the issuance of the first or trust patent therefor, nor for lands 
reserved for school, agency, or other administrative purposes where the 
legal title still remains in the United States.
