           Subpart 2522_Extensions of Time To Make Final Proof

 

Sec.  2522.4  Act of April 30, 1912.



    (a) Under the provisions of the Act of April 30, 1912 (37 Stat. 106; 

43 U.S.C. 334), a further extension of time may be granted for 

submitting final proof, not exceeding 3 years, where it is shown that, 

because of some unavoidable delay in the construction of irrigation 

works intended to convey water to the land embraced in his entry, the 

claimant is, without fault on his part, unable to make proof of the 

reclamation and cultivation of said lands within the time limited 

therefor, but such further extension cannot be granted for a period of 

more than 3 years nor affect contests initiated for a valid existing 

reason.

    (b) An entryman who has complied with the law as to annual 

expenditures and proof thereof and who desires to make application for 

extension of time under the provisions of the Act of March 28, 1908, 

should file with the authorizing officer a statement setting forth fully 

the facts, showing how and why he has been prevented from making final 

proof of reclamation and cultivation within the regular period. This 

statement must be corroborated by two witnesses who have personal 

knowledge of the facts.
