SALE OF SCHOOL LANDS.
Mr. Beeson's bill S. No. 49 was read the second time.
Mr. LINE. I do not know exactly what are the merits of that bill. It seems to me it should go to the Committee on Education.
Mr. BEESON. The object of the bill is simply to amend the two sections of the school law pained in the bill - sections 54 and 56. [Mr. B recited the particulars of a case in his own county which makes it necessary to amend the law a proposed in his bill in order that the school section belonging to that particular congressional township, may be sold.]
Mr. MURRAY. The bill ought to be amended so as to embrace all congressional townships that are divided by county lines. There are several cases of that kind in the State.
Mr. LINE. I still think it would not be wrong to refer that bill to the Education Committee. They might amend it so as to meet the case spoken of by the Senator from Elkhart, [Mr Murray.]
The PRESIDENT. Will the Senator consent? It is so ordered.
