Annotations Under former statute, state board had no authority to dispose of mineral rights in school lands. Briggs v. Neville, 103 Neb. 1, 170 N.W. 188 (1918).
The power of the Board of Commissioners to lease, sell, or dispose of school lands exists only insofar as it is directed or permitted by the Legislature. Fawn Lake Ranch Co. v. Cumbow, 102 Neb. 288, 167 N.W. 75 (1918).
