STATE LAND LAWS 273 



SALE. SEC. 427 



shall be known and designated as "Capitol Building Lands." 

 None of such lands, nor the timber or other materials thereon, 

 shall hereafter be sold without the consent of the State Capitol 

 Commission and only in the manner as herein provided. (Laws 

 '09, p. 125, sec. 2; sec. 6697 Rem.-Bal. ; 457 sec. 21 Pierce.) 



Former Laws: Laws '93, p. 186, sec. 2, and sec. 59 et seq., ante. 



Grant of capitol building lands: sees. 586 and 590, post. 



No provision being made in this act for the leasing of Capitol Building lands 

 for mining purposes, the Commissioner of Public Lands retains jurisdiction to is- 

 sue such leases under sections 180-193, supra : Opinions Att'y Gen'l, '11-'12, p. 

 355. 



Since Capitol Building lands were not granted "for educational purposes" 

 the limitation of sec. 585, post, does not apply, and they may be leased for oil 

 and gas mining under sec. 194 et seq., ante, for the full term of ten years : 

 Opinion Att'y Gen'l, Feb. 15, '13. 



SEC. 427. SAME MANNER OF SALE. 



The state capitol commission shall cause said lands to be ap- 

 praised and prepare an abstract or record of all the capitol 

 building lands with such maps and other data as may be deemed 

 necessary to properly show in detail and by legal subdivision 

 the location thereof, and of the timber and other materials there- 

 on, and the character and value thereof, and such record shall be 

 open to inspection to any one desirous of bidding on any such 

 lands or the materials thereon. The commission shall seek pro- 

 posals by advertising in the public press or otherwise, within 

 or without the state, for the sale of such lands in tracts not to 

 exceed 160 acres in extent, and re-advertise and re-seel [re-sell] 

 other and new proposals or bids as often as said commission 

 shall deem necessary, and may sell any such lands at public 

 auction, with a view to obtaining the full market value of said 

 lands, announcing the times, terms and particulars of sale as is 

 now provided for sale of other state lands: Provided, however, 

 The commission may fix times at which offers shall be received on 

 any or all capitol lands, or materials thereon, and the commission 

 may reject or accept any or all such bids but no bid shall be 

 accepted from any bidder for any tract of land or materials on 

 any tract which is not the highest bid offered, except where 

 any bidder has bid on more than one tract his total bids may be 

 taken into consideration in determining the best bid: Provided
