Compiler's notes. — The 1915 Code compilers substituted "this article" for "this act," presumably referring to Code 1915, ch. 114, art. V, the provisions of which are presently compiled as 72-10-1 to 72-10-3 NMSA 1978.

Cross references. — For public ditches and acequias, see 73-2-1 NMSA 1978 et seq.
