Commission Must Be Noti- fled If Sub-Lease Is Per manent; New Form of Agreement Is Given in Full

The meeting between the state land commission and the representatives of the school land lessees that was held yesterday morning in the Water Users building served to emphasize the fact more than the conference held on the day previous at the state house, that there is q spirit of cooperation present in the dealing of the land commission and the school iand Iessees of Maricopa coun- ty. At the meeting yesterday large number of school land districts were represented
 The land commission was repre- sented by Hon. Mulford Winsor, chairman of the commission, and w A Moody. Assistant Attorney General Carpenter was also present, agreeing to lend his services in the solution of the problem for the good of the community. In this capacity alone he has been advising with the school land committee. In the absence of John P. Orme, Dwight B. Heard was chosen temporary chairman. After a short discussion in which a resume of the meeting of the day previous was made Chairman Win sor on behalf of the land commission and in answer to the agreement he made on Friday. presented to the meeting a modified form of agree mert covering the extension of the l leases. which has been framed 50 as 1 to cover the objections which have been raised by the school land occu- | pants and a the same time thor | Oughly safeguard the mutual rights i of the state ana the occupants of | the school lands After a frank dis l cussion of the matter, full eXplana 1 tion by MT Winsor and MT. Carpen- ] ter. a motion was unanimously pass 1 ed that the modified form as sub mitted by the land commission be l approved by the representatives of | the school land occupants, the com mission agreeing that the new form l will properly be printed, furnished l the board of supervisors.
 l Under the new form, the lessees 1 have the definite right to sub-let l or assign their lease with the writ | ten consent of the state land com mission, which the commission state they will be glad to grant when oc- cupants have complied with the pro- l visions of the law. The new form 1 also clearly provides that no school l land lessee shall be required to sur 1 render possession of his land until he has received compensation for the l improvements on the same ill com | pliance with law
 It was clearly explained by the l commission that where any lessee | desired merely to give the temporary | use of his land to some other party 1 for d crop rent or otherwise that l the commission would have no ob- i lection. but that where the lessee is actually parting with his equity in the land it will be necessary to Ob- | tain the written consent of the com l mission before such transfer can be l made.
 The new form as agreed to at to- days meeting is appended hereto, and | shows a cooperative spirit on the part of the land commission and the
 school land lessees on which both
 are to be congratulated.
