Show [24] The final proof has been examined and appears satisfactory and complete, except as to certain record evidence, to which reference will hereafter be made. By letter of even date, addressed to your office, action has been taken on the Palo Verde Mutual Water Company and appropriate instructions given as to the action to be had on annual and final desert land proofs in which said company is named as the source of water supply. In said letter the acceptance of final proofs is authorized on the basis of one share of the capital stock of said company for each acre of irrigable land embraced in the particular entry, provided there is furnished a certificate of an officer of said company, under corporate seal, showing that said company has not issued stock for more than 90,000 irrigable acres, and provided, also, that either said company or the desert land entrymen shall furnish- "satisfactory record evidence of the Palo Verde Land and Water Company's title to and right to convey said system and water rights." You will notify claimant that she will be allowed thirty days within which to comply with the above requirements, or within which to appeal to the Secretary of the Interior, and that, should she fail to take action or appeal, her said final proof, which is hereby held for rejection, will be finally rejected, and her said entry, which is hereby held for cancellation, will be finally canceled without further notice from this office. A copy of my letter taking action on said company is inclosed for service on the entry-woman; also, a copy of this letter. |
