Article 2 - Office of General Services
14 - Time of Performing Conditions of Grant.

§ 14. Time of performing conditions of grant. 1. The commissioner of
general services may, unless otherwise provided, fix a reasonable time,
not less than one year, for the performance of conditions by the
grantees of lands, including lands under water, directed to be granted
on the performance of conditions. If such conditions are not performed
within the time limited, the persons entitled to any benefit under such
grant shall forfeit all right to and title in the premises. If the
commissioner, after having caused an inspection to be made of the lands
granted, determines that the conditions contained in the letters-patent
have been complied with, he may issue a certificate to that effect. If
complete compliance has not been had, the commissioner, in his
discretion, may make an order to the effect that compliance had been had
with the conditions in such definitely described portion of lands
granted as have been improved. Such order shall be conclusive evidence
of the performance of the conditions contained in such letters-patent to
the extent stated in such order and as to lands described therein. When
the time within which any condition contained in any grant of land is
fixed by the terms of the grant, the commissioner may, for good cause
shown before the expiration of such time, extend the time within which
such condition is to be performed, not exceeding three years.

2. The commissioner may, in his discretion, upon application of the
grantee or his successor in interest, by order, alter, amend or cancel
any condition or conditions contained in letters-patent for land,
including lands under water, if satisfied by the reason or proof
submitted that such alteration, amendment or cancellation of condition
or conditions is just and is not detrimental to the interests of the
state.
