by the state land board, was re-
duced to $2,093,982 on December
81, l945, according to records of
j. w. Walker, commissioner of state
lands and investments.
The debt was reduced $3.50, 1893 in
the last year and approximately
cut in half during the last 10 years.
The loans were made under law
of 1914 authorizing the state land
board to invest school fund earn

said that because of appraiSals
which later appeared too high in
some instances and because of I'M
favorable crop years there were
many delinquents.
