NEW LEASE LAW
Those Who Lease School Lands May Now
Get Pay for Their Permanent
Improvements.

One Of the laws passed by the recent
session of the legislature that is of more
than passing interest was the new law
governing the lease of school lands in
this state. The new law provides that
where the man leasing school land places
improvements, such AS wells, reservoirs,
etc, on land he has leased aud at the
expiration Of his lease the land IS bid in
by some other person, the one who
placed the improvements on the land
can recover pay for the improvements
up 10 $500 on each section of land, the
value OF such improY eUrpls TO be deter
mined by appraisal by commission OF
three men living in the cighborhood ot
tue land.
Formerly the man who leased school
land in South Dakota and placed i'm
provements ou it was out the uIoney 50
spent unless the Improvements could be
moved. Under the new law the man
who leases such lands can improve them
and at the expiration OF his lease recov-
er the value of such improvements unless
they amount to over $500.
A bill was also passed for consttu-
tiOnal amendment providing for an
amortization plan in payment for state
lands. This amendment, il adopted,
will allow the purchaser of state lands to
pay ten per cent OF the purchase price OF
he land ct the time tue purchase il
made, and Pay the balance in graduated
payments extending over period OF
hirty years, with interest at the rate
Ji five per cent
