submitted 151 years ago by ch. 152 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 112 words · no verdicts yet
A Territory may set the process for condemning private land and possessory claims on United States public lands. Without such a territorial rule, the cited 1864 law supplies the process.
The proper Territory’s legislature may establish how private lands and possessory claims on United States public lands may be condemned. If it has not done so, condemnation may proceed under section 3 of the Act approved July 2, 1864, whose title and citation are stated in the section [43 U.S.C. 942–3].
The legislature of the proper Territory may provide for the manner in which private lands and possessory claims on the public lands of the United States may be condemned; and where such provision shall not have been made, such condemnation may be made in accordance with section 3 of the act entitled “An Act to amend an Act entitled ‘An Act to aid in the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean, and to secure to the Government the use of the same for postal, military, and other purposes, approved July 1, 1862,’ ” approved July 2, 1864 [43 U.S.C. 942–3].
