    No fees or commissions are required of persons making entry under

payments made to the Government are the original payment of 25 cents an 

acre at the time of making the application and the final payment of $1 

an acre, to be paid at the time of making the final proof. On all final 

proofs made before the authorizing officer, the claimant must pay to the 

authorizing officer the costs of reducing the testimony to writing, as 

determined by the authorizing officer. No proof shall be accepted or 

approved until all charges have been paid.
