ADOPT RECOMMENDATIONS.

The following recommendations by
Dean Perkins, retiring land commits
Iioner, were adopted;
Land upon which there is an appli-
cation to cancel a lease by lessee can
not again be leased until the descrip-
ton Of the same shall have been posted
IN the state land office for at least 80
days. Then in case of conflict in APP
plication to lease said land it shall be
offered at auction AMI leased in the
same manner as 1ther lands upon
which there is a conflict. The period
for which said land shlll then be leas-
ID shall not extend beyond the expir-
alton of the lease cancelled.
1T declared to be the policy of
this board that uniform rate be made
for all grazing lands leased in same
locality where there Is no conflict by
applicants to lease. But the state land
board or the state land commissioner
may lease land at a different rate
where 1t is shown that the land is of
greater or less value for grazing pur-
poses. No discrimination in price shall
be made on account of the number OF
acres leased. whether fed or many.
Where lessee on land being offered
for sale has made additional improve
ments on the same since the land and
improvements were appraised for sale,
he selling agent for the state may ac-
.ept proof of the value of such addi-
.ional improvements prior to sale, and
lfter announcing what his findings of
lalue of the improvements are he shall
proceed to sell said land and improve
nents. The purchaser at said sale
shall be required to pay the value of
improvements as found and announced
by sales agent. In .ase satisfactory
proof cannot be made, the state land
commissioner may afterwards make
appraisement of improvements and his
findings shall be final. The same rule
shall apply to improvements on land
offered at auction for leasing pur-
poses. an.nys.s.saassw
