debts or expenses contemplated by
the new act; that the same power OF
leasing exists in the guardian of a
miner. /. e., leases which will deter
mine on the minor arriving nj ma
jority.
If the act contemplates the max
ing Of leases which will bind the
| estate after the administration il
closed or after the minor attains his
minority and is entitled to the
management Of his own property, as
il seems 10 do, am decidedly Of the
opinion that it is against the well
settled policy Of the law; If it simply
contemplate the leasing during the
administration or guardianship am
afraid IL is an expensive method Of
doing what can be cheaply done
under existing laws.
II it Is not too late and Il Is deemed
to be necessary TO take some action,
suggest il a mortgage IL au-
thorized il should lie limit, y 10
tue purpose OF laying debts, the
payment Of which may he enforced
before administration is closed, and
that provision be inserted that n
mortgage should not delay closing
the administration, and that the
distribution Of the estate could be
made subject to the mortgage.
With respect to the power TO lease,
authority could be given 10 make 4
good lease for one year, without the
expense OF the proceedings coniem-
plated by this act.
am very respectfully,
ARTHUR l.. THOMAS,
Governor.
