empowered to accept contributions toward the administration, protection,
and improvement of lands within or without the exterior boundaries of a
grazing district, moneys, so received to be covered into the Treasury as
a special fund, which is appropriated and made available until expended,
as the Secretary of the Interior may direct, for payment of expenses
incident to said administration, protection, and improvement, and for
refunds to depositors of amounts contributed by them in excess of their
share of the cost.
