The sudden desire for information
as to the disposition of the institution
al lands and the disposition of the
funds received from those lands, has
served to increase interest here in the
pending investigation into the terrific
rial land transactions, the cop of
which seems to be growing wider all
the time
1t is interesting TO note from the
statement of Secretary Easley that of
46.672.32 acres Of lands which have
been selected for the penitentiary, for
its enlargement and maintenance,
2.156.72 acres have been leased and
8,309.1S acres have been sold.

The income fund and the perma-

the sale and leasing Of penitentiary
lands, are supposed to be special
funds ind reserved for the purposes
indicated. and not to be used for gem

ment of current expenses, and that all
but forty-five cents of the permanent
Improvement fund received during the
Bursum regime, wen for maintenance
and current charges.
The statement shows that the net
receipts of the income fund have been
$2,372.71. Of which there had been
expended up to December l., 1906,

The net receipts of the permanent
Improvement fund have been $25,-

up to February IS, 1907, the sur of
$~25,505.97, leaving a balance in the
fund of forty-five cents, which bal
ance stands on June l, 1907.
OF the funds disbursed under the
Bursum management from the income
fund appear such Items as brandy,
rubber boots. hack hire. clocks, cof-
fins, hardware, arnes and herpicide,
one quart Of which seems to have
been purchased for the use of the
penitentiary scalp on April 20, 1905.
The disbursements from the per-
manent improvement fund under the
Bursum regime include such charges
as horse shoes, repairs To buggics,
mules. rent of teams, railroad fare,
horses. etc.
