Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Iowa Journal of History and Politics, 1907, Vol. 5 What is known in Iowa history as the Saline Land Grant was not intended by Congress to be used directly for educational purposes. By an act of Congress, approved March 3, 1845, the National government granted to the State of Iowa for its use all salt-springs within the limits of the State, not to exceed twelve in number, together with six sections of land adjoining or as nearly contiguous as possible to each. These springs and the adjoining land were to be selected by the legislature within one year after the admission of Iowa into the Union, and were then to be used on such terms and conditions, and under such regulations as the legislature should provide. One provision of the act was that the General Assembly should never lease or sell this land and the salt springs for a longer period than ten years at a time without the consent of Congress. On February 24, 1847, the General Assembly authorized the Governor to appoint an agent for the purpose of selecting these lands. Governor Briggs appointed Mr. John Brophy, who made the selections and submitted them to the Governor, by whom they were approved. Mr. Brophy selected seventy-two sections of these lands and submitted the list to the Secretary of the Interior.
