43 U.S.C. § 123 — Continuance of land offices when required by public convenience
submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 72 words · no verdicts yet
Even if a land district has less than 100,000 unsold acres, the Secretary of the Interior can keep it (and its land office) open if it holds a state capital, and the Secretary thinks keeping it open serves the public or helps finish selling off that state's public land.
The Secretary of the Interior may continue any land district in which is situated the seat of government of any one of the States, and may continue the land office in such district, notwithstanding the quantity of land unsold in such district may not amount to one hundred thousand acres, when, in his opinion, such continuance is required by public convenience, or in order to close the land system in such State.
