in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can set rules about who qualifies to claim public land on an irrigation project. Applicants, including veterans with preference rights, may need to show industry, experience, character, and enough money. The Secretary can also appoint boards, partly made up of private citizens, to help judge these qualifications.

The Secretary is given authority to write regulations setting qualifications for anyone applying to claim public land on a reclamation project. This includes "preference right ex-service men" - veterans who get priority in the application process. The qualifications can cover the applicant's industry (work ethic), experience, character, and capital (money or resources). The Secretary decides what level of these qualities is needed to give "reasonable assurance of success" for the settler. To help make these decisions, the Secretary may appoint boards. These boards can be made up partly of private citizens, not just government officials.
