Chap. CLXXX.— An Act to authorize the selection of certain school lands in the territory of Arkansas. May 29, 1830. *Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, * In certain case, other lands than the 16th sections may be selected. That, wherever the sixteenth sections in said territory, either in whole, or in part, are now, or may hereafter be, included in private claims held by titles confirmed, or legally decided to be valid and sufficient, other lands equivalent thereto and most convenient to the same, may be selected in lieu thereof, under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury ; and the lands so selected shall be entered in the office of the register of the land district in which they may lie, and be, by such register, reported to the commissioner of the general land office, as school lands selected under this act:
Provided, That, before making any entry of such other lands, the case shall be made out to the satisfaction of the register and receiver of said district, agreeably to rules to be prescribed by the commissioner of the general land office, for that purpose, showing that the sixteenth section, or a part thereof, has been included in the manner above mentioned. Approved, May 29, 1830.
