tary intends to issue IN order directing

Huntington represented to The escre-

cupied them from ten to twenty ysan.
he also said the companies ere nos sex

became taxable - soon - the patents
were issued. The states and counties in
which the lands are situated were more
interested in securing patents. - they
became entitled to the taxes - soon q
the patents passed. Further than this
the companies desired 70 dispose Of thesa
lands TO secure money TO meet payments

would hinder the company securing
money on lands il such IN order had
been issued. and represented that
nothing overt ought to be done By tn
government to prevent the company
raising funds.
Huntington, however, did not oonsidea
this Of % much importance - he did tn
