Last month, Mr. Mahony said,
he wrote the state board of ed
ucational lands and funds. He
asked if he would be refunded
his lease money in the event his
lease is sold to another person.
“At this time we know of no
way the money paid to the state
for these leases can be refunded.
However, it may develop that an
appropriation may be made at
the next session of the legis
lature for the purpose of re
funding money in equitable
cases.”
Mr. Mahony said he will bid
on his lease when it is put up
at auction here.
“Whatever I have to bid will
set me in debt just that much.
But no matter what, I hope to
stay around this country.”
