§ 36-4-103. Payment by Lessee or Purchaser

In order to provide payment for such water rights for state lands, the state board of land commissioners may agree that, when any state land for which irrigation is provided is leased or sold, the lessee or purchaser, as the case may be, shall pay the agreed value therefor, at such times and in such amounts and in such proportion as may be agreed upon by the state board of land commissioners. The state board of land commissioners has power to secure, to any such person, corporation, or irrigation district so furnishing water for the irrigation of state lands, the payment of the cost of such water rights upon such lands being leased or sold by the lessee or purchaser thereof. In no case shall the state board of land commissioners have any power to use any of the school fund, either principal or interest, for any such purpose.
