236 3. The whole number of tracts (quarter sections) of University lands in Gage Co., referred to your committee, is 59. Of these, twenty-nine (29) have be$a leased and seven (7) sold, making thirty-six (36) in all. Twenty-three (23) tracts are as yet neither sold nor leased. Many of these are occupied by graziers, who should be compelled to pay rent, or cease occupation. Your committee has directed Mr. Baker to take the necessary preliminary steps, by way of publishing notices in the county papers, and serving notices to the trespassers individually, requiring them to cease their trespassing. Your committee is convinced that the trespassers must be removed by legal process, if necessary, or it will not be possible again to lease any portions of the land, and will make trouble with sales. Itis hoped that no legal process will be necessary, and doubtless a single case would be sufficient to settle the whole matter. Your committee ask on this point the advice and authority of the Board. Respectfully submitted, CHAS. BENNETT, S. H. PEABODY, UEBANA, June 11,1884. Committee. On motibn the report was received and placed on file. Messrs.
