School Lands Issue Up.

Whether or not chapter 452 of the
laws of 1911 applies to state school
lands is a question that Attorney
General Bancroft has been called
upon to determine.
The law provides, among other
things, that when any state lands are
sold that border on any lake, pond
or stream that is navigable for any
purpose whatever the contract of
sale shall reserve to the state a
strip bordering on such stream of the
width of 66 feet. The law further
provides that the state lands may
be sold on time and the purchaser
a certain percentage of the value of
improvements.
These are the features of the law
that give perpleXity to the authorities.
The school lands of the state of
which there are yet considerable
acres, some bordering upon navigable
streams under the provision of the
law in question, are state lands,
without doubt, set aside for a specific
purpose. The constitution provides
that the proceeds of the sale of such
lands shall be credited to the school
fund of the state
Whether, therefore, the legislature
had the power to allow a rebate to
the purchaser of school lands for i'm
provement, or whether to allow re-
bate to the purchaser of school lands
for Improvement, or whether the state
may reserve any portion of such
lands for public use is the question
involved in the proposition now in
the hands Of Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Messerschmidt
