Land Department and School Funds.
There are three matters in relation
to the trust funds of the common
schools and our institutions that I de-
sire to bring to you consideration,
the principal one of which is the in
vestment of the permanent funds.
During the preceding two years the
board of university and common
school lands have caused quite a
large amount of the state school lands
to be placed upon the market and
sold. These sales have been well at.
tended and in the main the lands
have brought satisfactory prices. AS
a result of these sales quitet a large
amount of money and land contracts
are to the credit of the various
funds. For your information have
had a special report prepared by the
land commissioner. bringing the
funds down to date. The following
table shows the amount to the credit
of each separate fund.
