Whereas, BY the terms OF sale of public lands
heretofore made, the purchasers are required to
lay interest as The rate OF seven "a cent per
annum upon the deferred payments of the pur-
chase money due this state on the sale of such
lands: aud,
Whereas, The requiring and receiving Of such
a nigh rate OF interest on such deferred pay
ments has tendency to cause and has hereto
fore caused a rapid and early payment of all
sums unpaid on account OF such purchase
money, and thereby necessiLating reinvest-

Whereas, Such reinvestment is not and can
not now safely be made so as to return a higher
rate of interest than from three to four per cent
per annum, thereby materially diminishing the
income OF tho school fund of the State; and,
Whereas, 1t Is deemed expedieuu and for the
