COMMON SCHOOL FUND.
Mr. STUDABAKER. Mr. President:
The PRESIDENT. The following resolution is offered by the Senator from Adams:
Resolved, That whereas by the report of Auditor of State there is shown to be due the Common School Fund, undistributed in the State Treasury, the sum of $186,861 64, which is now due from the State Treasury to said fund, and also in the further sum of $145,410 57 to the Swamp Land Fund; and whereas, in justice to those that purchased swamp lands with the expectation that the same would be drained, and also with a proper regard for the educational interests of the State, said sums ought to be speedily reimbursed, therefore the Committee on Finance are instructed to inquire into the expediency of paying said sums, and report as soon as practicable.
The resolution was adopted by consent.
