Any assessments made against the lands eliminated from the project pending the confirmation of the Secretary's order are canceled and all payments made on account of any such assessments shall be credited to the lands retained in the project by the respective owners.
In order to prevent the accumulation of delinquent project assessments or other proper charges against the lands described in the said order of the Secretary of the Interior and to protect all sums due the Government by the project landowners, the Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized, in his discretion, to take such action as he may deem necessary, including the foreclosure of the Government's first lien for such unpaid charges created by the Act of May 18, 1916 (39 Stat. 154), or any other Act of Congress.
Approved, December 24, 1942.
