assessment may be made if necessary to effect the purpose of the Act of 

March 3, 1891, and this section.

thereof, proceed to award the lots applied for, and that all lots for 

which no applications are filed within 120 days from the date of said 

notice will be subject to disposition to the highest bidder at public 

sale. Only those who were occupants of lots or entitled to such 

occupancy at the date of the approval of final subdivisional townsite 

survey or their assigns thereafter, are entitled to the allotments
