Nebraska DISCUSS SCHOOLLAND LEASE Board Will Investigate Chase County Appraisement MANY RENTALS ARE DELINQUENT Stat Itbor Borrai Will Hare Crop Statistics Read? la Two Weeks la Mora Complete Form Tkaa Heretofore. (From a Staff CorrespondVnt.) LINCOLN, Dec 19. (Special.) Judge rturk and County Clork Prall of Chase county today conferred with the Board of Industrial Lands and Fundi concern ing the appraisal of school and university lands In that county, asking that it be reduced. They asserted that In many Instances as high as 1150 per section lease money was paid while, according to their Ktatement fully as good lands could be leased from private persons for much less, In some instances for one-half. The board took no action on the matter, but will Investigate and in case the cir cumstances are thought to warrant, may order a new appraisement. They may also, If they desire, decmlde to declare renent leases forfeited where rentals are delinquent. Owing to crop conditions In that section much of the lease money i delinquent, but the board has hesi tated to forfeit the leases for the reason that many were really unable to pay, nrid the board had hoped they would when conditions were bettered. The board has asked the Chase county men, as a preliminary to the Investigation by the board that they send in' an estimate of their valuation of the lands for leas ing purposes. Normal Hoard to Meet. The state normal board will meet in regular session tomorrow. In addition to routine business, the board will deolde what should bo done to replace, either temporarily or permanently, the pump house, engine and pump of the Peru normal water supply system, which was destroyed by flro recently. Labor liareau Hair, The Btate labor bureau Is busy just now finishing up the compilation of crop statistics. Mr. Quye hopes to have the figures ready to give out In about two weeks. The report this year will be much mora complete, Mr. Uuye says, than ever before. In addition to crops It will contain figures on the amount of idle land ,as well as that under crop, In each county in the state. The figures, he says, will surprise most people In the Hhowlng of the percentage of Nebraska land which is now idle. In practically every county in the state more than GO per cent of the land Is non-productive for some reason or other, largely because the owners do not care to cultivate It. Kor the purpose of these statistics, he considers hay land and pasture land as cultivated land, the same as that In crops requiring actual cultivation. State 'Warrants Received. The state treasurer's office is busy receiving and taking up registered state warrants on the call for $90,000 worth re cently Issued. Monday $33,000 worth were received and up to noon more than 140, 000 worth had been received today. It is estimated that, a couple of days mora will suffice to clear up this call and then one will be Issued for $25,000 -worth more.
