The State Lands.

Some twelve Of the lessees OF state
lands went from here to Denver Sunday
night and appeared before the state land
board to show cause why their rent
should not be raised. The board finally
decided to place the rental at 20 cents
an acre. This was in accordance with
the recommendation OF the Board of
County Commissioners Of Rio Grande
county. Appraiser Flansburg Insisted
the rental should be raised to 10 cents.
As the matter now stands, 30 cents is
the minimum rate per acre, and appli-
cants for land will have to re apply, and
after the regular advertisement the land
will be put up for competitive bids.
Thus the state will get the maximum
price, each separate tract brings. and
not fall below the 3.cent limit, which is
30 per cent increase over the old rate.
