Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. School Land — Authority to Lease — Validity of Statute— Title. The provisions of chapter 241 of the Laws of 1899, giving authority to certain officers to lease school lands, are not obnoxious to section 16 of article 2 of the constitution, which provides that “no bill shall contain more than one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in its title.”</p> <p>•2. -Appraisement — Authority to Lease. An appraisement of school lands within five years next preceding the execution of a lease thereon is not a condition precedent to the exercise of the power to lease.</p> <p>3. -Appraisement — Change of Rentals. A lease of school lands for a term exceeding five years is, under the restriction imposed by section 5 of article 6 of the constitution, subject to revaluation every five years; that is, a lease is burdened with the condition that the rentals may be changed at each valuation.</p>
