LEASE-HOLDERS STATE THEIR CASE . . .
Things You Should Know About
School Leases
i'i- “Since the board of educational lands and funds has nullified
i and cancelled all school leases, executed since 1947, and is putting
them up for auction, the Holt county school land lease-holders think
that people should be informed as to what they are buying when
they purchase a school lease.
“Some people have the impression that they are getting &
to school land when they purchase a lease. Such is not the case.
When a lease is put up for auction the successful bidder secures
a lease which gives him the privilege of renting the land for a peri
od of 12 years, at a rental to be determined by the board. This rent
al can be raised at any time by order of the board. The purchaser of
the lease pays the full amount of the bonus at the tune of purchase.
Any improvements will be appraised by a majority o tie coun >
board of supervisors. The new lease-holder pays the appraisal cost.
The purchaser of the lease will pay the amount of the appraise
value of the improvements to the former lease-holder. If the ap
praised value of the property is not satisfactory to either party, he
may appeal the appraisal to district court. , ,
“The lease-holder cannot sublease without consent of the boa .
He must make application to the soil conservation district, m which
► his land is located, for a farm or ranch conservation plan and mus
carry out the program of conservation operations as
by the soil conservation district, unless otherwise authorized by t
the board. He cannot break any land without the consent of th
board. If the lease-holder fails to live up to the board s rules and
regulations, his lease can be cancelled. hiriHpr
8 If the lease-holder, who secures a lease by being high bidde
on a lease at public auction, desires to assign and sell his leas® to
another party for a valuable consideration, the state receives one
half of the consideration for the assignment exclusive of the value
of the improvements. Whenever an application to assign a iease is
made to the board, the board may put it up for auction if the boa
