Sec. 462. Classification of irrigable lands and equitable
apportionment of charges
The irrigable lands of each new project and new division of a
project approved, after December 5, 1924, shall be classified by the
Secretary with respect to their power, under a proper agricultural
program, to support a family and pay water charges, and the Secretary is
authorized to fix different construction charges against different
classes of land under the same project for the purpose of equitably
apportioning the total construction cost so that all lands may as far as
