Information having been furnished
by reliable parties tending to show
that the state of Minnesota has been
deprived of upward of one thousand,
four hundred acres Of valuable land,
the property of the state of Mime
sofa, and divers state institutions,
without in one instance having first
received the full considerable con-
tracted to be given, and as to part
of said lands, without any consider
alton whatever, and
Whereas, 1t is believed that the
state of Minnesota has hereby lost
| said land through the fraudulent acts
! of officers of the state or their en-
ployes, and that the same may be re-
| claimed,
Therefore, be it resolved that the
| special committee heretofore appoint
ed by the honorable speaker Of the
house, of which Henry Feig is chair
man, be, and the same is hereby auth
oriZed to make investigation thereof,
to send for persons and papers, adj
minister oaths to witnesses, in the
course of said Investigations, and re-
| port the result of said Investigation to
the house, and in their discretion to
| the attorney general with recon-
| mendations.
Your committee desires to report
| that owing to our duties as members
| of the house and the constant and in
cessant labor connected herewith, and
owing to the further fact that three
members of your special committee
were also members Of the Judiciary
committee, a committee to which has
been referred very large number of
| the important bills introduced in this
| legislature, bills that have required a
great deal Of consideration, and also
| owing to the further fact that it was
the desire of the majority of your
special committee to be present and
hear as much of the evidence as pos
| sible. that was introduced before the
| judiciary committee, relative to the
petition for the impeachment of Judge
Ives, we have found, and did find our
| selves very much handicapped in the
pursuance of our work, Our investi-
cation has been limited to an inquiry
| first, into the financial condition of
banks having on deposit state funds,
In this connection your committee de-
sire to report that the state funds, ac-
cording to the official statement of the
| state treasurer, at the close of bust
ness on March 80, 1885, were deposited
| as follows: ~f
