Legislature May
Need to Reimburse
Land Department

Unless money received at sales o.
land taken over by the state land
board on foreclosure equals the
hmount Of the loan granted on it,
the state legislature may, at some
time in the future, have to appro-
pirate money to reimburse the lland
department for its losses, according
to attaches Of the attorney generals
office.
They point.to the federal law which
requires that the value Of school land
grants may never be diminished and
the fact that federal inspectors make
q frequent check on the manner in
which the state handles land granted
it by the governments.
It is considered probable. however.
that profits on some sales will Off
set losses on others and the neces-
sity of legislative action is held to
be only remote possibility. Losses
on some loans are increased, it was
pointed out, by the failure Of the
person obtaining the loan to keep up
his tax payments. In some Of the
315 cases in which the land depart
mcnt has instituted foreclosure pro-
ceedings it has been necessary to pay
more than $1,000 in delinquent taxes
to give the state clear title to the
property.
