Ecieucee. The Portion OF this grant falling |
"a the State Of Illinois. is estimated In round
cu,atc7s as ceuai 10 500, 0,oo0, the interest |
only Of which is to be applied to tho pur-
rcscs Of the grant. The SUN therefore to be !
disposed Of in this State will be about $1s ,0o1
annually. By the tertns Of the act Of Con-
cress, this fund has to be accepted nnd ap-
Piled to It's uses before July, 1867, or the |
Donation will revert to the United States.
In several of the States the whole matter
has been Iocg since disposed Of, and the
surls employed, but in Illinois nothing has
teen douc for the reason that the Legislature
has nesev been able to agree upon any Of ths
conflicting propositions made.
