§853 Selections in Utah to Supply Deficiencies of School Lands

Summary

Makes the land-selection rules in sections 851 and 852 apply to Utah. Utah’s school-land grant, including sections 2 and 32 in each township, and any payments to make up for missing lands, must be handled under those rules even if the 1894 admission act says otherwise. When those rules say “sections 16 and 36” or “sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections,” they must be read as “sections 2, 16, 32, and 36.” If they say “sections 16 or 36,” read it as “sections 2, 16, 32, or 36.” If they say “two sections,” read it as “four sections.”
