PREEMPTION FOR CITY OR TOWN SITES.
Portions of the public lands, to the amount of three hundred and twenty acres, may be taken up by individuals or preemptioners for city or town sites.
The same rules as to proof of occupation apply in the case of municipal, as of agricultural, preemption.
The statute assumes that the purposes of a city or town have preference over those of trade or of agriculture.
