DIRECTED TO BEGIN SUIT
II DfC1ARf COMMITTEE TURNS
''BIERMAN DEED" OVER TO
ATTORNEY GENERAL
1t Will Report to the Senate Today
That No Legislation Is Required
Under the Conditions as They
Exist.

The Judiciary committee, to whom
was referred the question arising on
the recent report of the state auditor
as TO whether any additional legislation
was necessary or possible to hasten the
termination Of the controversy be-
tween the state and the Great Northern
Railway company, as to the validity
of the selection and conveyance of the
swamp lands embraced in the deed ex-
ecuted by Gov. Nelson, Sept. %, 1894,
will report today:
The Great Northern Railway company is the
successor of the Minneapolis & ST. Cloud
Railway company which held d swamp land
grant under the Special Law OF 1863 The
railroad for whose benefit the grant was made
was constructed as required by the granting
act, and at the time OF the conveyance in
controversy there remained unconveyed about
800, 600 coo acres of swamp lands earned by
the company. There is embraced in the deed
referred TO a conveyance from the state to
the railway company Of 271 ,565 A acres, Sc
leeted, it is claimed. by the state. through
Auditor Biermann, with the approval of
Gov. Nelson, which quantity OF land was so
transferred TO the company in part fulhllment
OF the said unsettled grant. The railway
company refused and still refuses to accept
the conveyance for the asserted reason that
the lands embraced in the deed are worth
less and were unfairly selected and con-
veyed so as to deprive the company of the
substantial benefits OF its grant. The lands
have remained in this condition since the ex-
ecution OF the deed, the title conveyed out of
the state but not accepted by the company,
so that the lands have been withheld from
taxation and have been the prey of timber
trespassers. All other lands due under the
railroad grant have since been conveyed, so
that II this deed is valid, the grant IS entirely
filed.
For the declared purpose of bringing the
matter into court 10 determine its validity
Gov. Clough recently conveyed to the COM
pany about LOCO acres additional. unappro-
priated swamp lands. which if this deed is
valid. an unauthorized act and which
latter deed Auditor Dunn refused TO recog-
nize- It appears from the terms of the
granting act and the conveyance in contro-
versy that the transaction embodied in the
deed OF Sept %. 1894, was in accordance with
the letter of the law, and it a matter
exclusively for the courts TO determine,
whether not il cannot be attacked for the
reasons urged by the railway company. No
additional legislation, therefore. seems nee
essary. Your committee recommends that the
attorney general be and he is hereby in
structed 10 forthwith take the steps neces-
sary to bring the entire controversy to a
speedy conclusion in the courts.
