be reasonably required for the support of a family upon the lands in
question; also of the charges which shall be made per acre upon the said
entries, and upon lands in private ownership which may be irrigated by
the waters of the said irrigation project, and the number of annual
installments in which such charges shall be paid and the time when such
payments shall commence: Provided, That in all construction work eight
