Statutes, section 92.45 to the contrary, the commissioner of 
natural resources may offer for sale and sell, in the manner 
provided for the sale of other trust fund lands, the following 
described land, except that the value of the improvements on the 
land shall be appraised separately.  If, at the sale of the land 
George Chlebecek is the purchaser, he shall not be required to 
pay for the improvements but in lieu thereof, at the time of 
sale, he shall furnish an affidavit to the effect that the 
improvements were paid by him.  The land which the commissioner 
may offer for sale and sell is described as:  
 That part of the North 125.00 feet of Government Lot 1 of

the land, the purchaser shall pay in cash to the state at the 
time of sale, in addition to all other required payments, the 
full amount for which the improvements are appraised.  The 
amount so received by the state for the improvements shall be 
paid over by the state treasurer, with the approval of the 
commissioner of finance, to George Chlebecek or his successor in 
interest as compensation therefor, and the moneys required for 
the payment are appropriated for this purpose.
