BUREAU OF THE BUDGET
S.
TRUALLAD
WASHINGTON, D.C.
NARA $35
APR 12 1946
My dear Mr. Latta:
On April 9, 1946, you advised this office that H. R. 3796
"To quiet title to certain school-district property in Enid,
Oklahoma, " had been received at the Whi te Hou se, and requested
reports and recommendations as to the approval of the bill.
The purpose of this legislation is to quiet title to certain
school-district property in Jonesville, Oklahoma, a suburb of the
city of Enid.
The property in question was originally patented and conveyed
by the United States to the city of Enid, with a provision restrict-
ing the property to school purposes. The city of Enid, in turn,
conveyed the property to the trustees of the school district in
Jonesville. The latter now desire to sell the property, inasmuch
as its size and location make it unsuited for school purposes, but
have been advised that they can not give a good title to the land
because of the provision in the original deed limiting the use of
the property to school purposes.
The bill would authorize and direct the Secretary of the
Interior to issue such instruments of conveyance to the trustees
of the school district as may be necessary to vest in them an in-
defeasible fee simple title to this property.
A facsimile of the enrolled enactment has been referred to the
Interior Department, and its reply, recommending approval of the
bill, is attached.
I am authorized by the Director of the Bureau of the Budget
to recommend that the bill be approved.
Very truly yours,
Assistant Director,
Mr. M. C. Latta,
Legislative Reference.
