land which was set apart for each
4unds foe the very good reason that
325 leagues of land set apart for thse
purpose has been exhausted
In 1882 the legislature passed an ace
setting apart 325 leagues Of land for
county school purposes Each county
that had not already received its
quantity was granted four leagues, or
HIP acres. This was to be used as a
permanent school fund for each county
In addition to the states appropriation
for school purposes. These 325 leagues.
according to Acting Land Commission
er Robson, have Just been exhausted.
Cara, the county not organized, will
not get the full four leagues. and thcs
counties, as stated above. which have
not yet organized will get no land at
all for school purposes. as the law pro
vides that the counties shall get the
land only after organization.
