MICHIGAN MANUAL.
PUBLIC DOMAIN COMMISSION.
(MICHIGAN STATE LAND OFFICE.)
Act No. 270, P. A. 1913, provided for the abolishment of the office of the Commissioner of the State Land Office on and after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred fourteen. All duties devolving upon said officer, and all the powers and authority incidental to said office prior to said abolishment, were transferred to the Public Domain Commission.
All lands owned by the state are controlled by this commission. There are no local agents. Business can be done by letter. It is not necessary to come here.
This office cannot give information about the soil and timber of any particular lots, but buyers and settlers are advised to examine for themselves before taking.
PLATS.
SECTION 1. To aid in looking up state lands we furnish plats at the legal prices, payable in advance as follows:
Showing vacant lands, 25 cents per township.
Same, with streams drawn on, 50 cents per township.
In ordering plats, always give the number of the town and range of the townships wanted.
Cash should be sent with orders by mail.
SWAMP LANDS.
SEC. 2. These lands have recently been examined by competent men and appraised by the public domain commission. Prices are based upon the report of the examiners as to their values.
Eighty acres or less of these lands, in one body in the lower peninsula, can be bought by any person on a first payment of one-quarter of the price down. The buyer must make affidavit that he will settle on the land within one year after the purchase. Blank affidavits furnished. Ten years' time allowed to pay the balance at 7 per cent annual interest. Swamp land scrip cannot be used in purchase or payment of balance due.
These lands are subject to homestead entry; any citizen over 21 years old, and not already owning 40 acres of land, may homestead not to exceed 80 acres, but he may buy an adjoining 80 acres or less on quarter payment down, with ten years' time on the balance, with 7 per cent annual interest. Blank applications furnished at this office.
In cases where swamp lands are paid for all down, payment will be received in money or in swamp land scrip, and there is no limit to the quantity purchased.
PRIMARY SCHOOL LANDS.
SEC. 3. These lands have recently been examined by competent men and appraised by the public domain commission. Prices are based upon the report of the examiners as to their values.
Where these lands are valuable for pine, cedar or hemlock timber, they inust be paid for all down. But where they are valuable mainly for farining purposes they can be sold on time.
Persons desiring to buy on time are required to furnish this office with a timber affidavit, and by this affidavit tlie commission will decide whether the desired lots are subject to sale on time, and if so subject to sale on time, first payment of not less than half the price down will be received. Blank timber affidavits furnished.
On the balance due the time is not limited, and 7 per cent yearly interest is charged.

PUBLIC DOMAIN COMMISSION.
COLLEGE LANDS.
SEC. 4. These lands have been recently examined by competent men, and appraised by the state board of agriculture at from $1.50 to $12.50 per acre. They may be sold on not less than one-quarter payment down, if they are not mainly valuable for the timber thereon.
Time on balance due not limited. Interest 7 per cent. The balance due or a part of it may be paid at any time.
TAX HOMESTEAD LANDS.
SEC. 5. This land was originally intended to be held for homestead only, and is a class of land created from delinquent tax land held for more than five years by the auditor general, and under the law then deeded to the state by the auditor general and transferred to the public domain commission to be disposed of by them. Under amendments to the law these lands are now withdrawn from homestead entry and are appraised and placed in market to be sold. They can be purchased only upon payment of the full amount of the purchase price, such payment to be made when the application is filed with the public domain commission.
FORFEITED LANDS.
SEC. 7. The price of forfeited part-paid lands, now held by the state, is the original minimum price per acre and all improvements and unpaid taxes added thereto.
APPLICATIONS.
SEC. 8. No lands can be withheld from market for the benefit of purchasers until the purchase price is received at this office, and all deposits to purchase on part pay- ment must be accompanied with an acceptable affidavit as required by law. Deeds or patents to state lands will not be issued to any party and sent to any bank or other collecting office to be delivered to the purchaser upon his payment at such office of the purchase price.
SEC. 9. An act of the legislature of 1909 now requires that when sales of any class of land are made, a clause must be inserted in each deed or patent, reserving to the state of Michigan all mineral, coal, oil and gas found on the land so disposed of, together with the right of ingress or egress at all times over and across all lands that border upon any watercourse or stream, and all parties desiring to purchase must sign applications containing these reservations and an agreement on the part of the purchaser to accept deeds containing these reservation clauses and to abide by the same at all times. Blank forms for applications will be furnished upon application to this office.
SEC. 10. For information as to government or railroad land apply to the United States land office, at Marquette, upper peninsula, as this office has no record of such lands entered or unentered.
SENDING MONEY.
SEC. 11. Money to make any kind of payment at this office can be sent by express or mail.
In sending by express, always pay the express charges yourself.
In sending by mail, get a postoffice or express order or send in registered letter. National bank drafts on Detroit or New York will be received as money. Other bank drafts will not be received as payment until collected, nor will Canadian money be re- ceived at this office.
Make all postoffice or express orders or bank drafts payable to "Public Domain Commission."
In your letters always tell plainly what you want, mention description of land, and number of certificate, if any; give your name, postoffice address, and put in a postage stamp for our answer.
