and corrected; and also show that
the encumbrances, liens and mort
cages on said lands have been re-
moved. cancelled and released. ex-
cept the taxes above mentioned.
The residents and citizens of Ok
lahoma City contend that these lands
were not subject to taxation after
they became the property of the said
State Capitol Building company. for
the reason that the said State Capitol
Building company, a corporation, was
organized pursuant and by virtue OF
certain resolution passed by the
Legislature Of the state of oklahoma,
December 1910. said corporation be-
ing organized for the state of Okla
homa and for the donors of said
lands; the said land to be sold and
the proceeds thcrefrom to be deVot-
ed to public purpose, to wit; the
creation Of the state capitol building
fund, which fund was to be used fol
the construction OF capitol for tho
state Of Oklahoma. This construction
Is made under Section 1859 of Snyd-
er's Compiled Laws of 1903. which is
as follows:
In all cases where lands or
lots have been, or shall be here
after granted to or held for the
use of any public fund, they shall
not be subject to taxation until
sold for the benefit Of such fund
and the date of sale shall, In all
cases be correctly shown IN any
deed contract or equity OF such
sale that may be made.
We understand and arc advised
that in the event these lands while
held by the State Capitol Building
company. are held to be subject 10
taxation. the citizens and residents OF
oklahoma City. stand ready and will
ing TO pav all taxes thereon uu To the
time of the acceptance of said landp
by the state OF oklahoma.
