Shumway pushes re appraisals to boost school land rents
Educational Lands and Funds by John W. Thomas outlines Nebraska school land grants from 1864, the lease system, and the need to re appraise every five years. It cites Box Butte county cases, potash and mineral leases, and argues for stronger public oversight to prevent graft and improve funds for common schools.
