9G.9 COLOR OF TITLE RELINQUISHED.
Whenever the governor is satisfied by the commissioner of the
general land office that the title to any lands which may have been
certified to the state under any of the several grants is inferior to
the rights of any valid interfering pre-emptor or claimant, the
governor is authorized and required to release by deed of
relinquishment such color of title to the United States, to the end
that the requirements of the interior department may be complied
with, and that such tract or tracts of land may be patented by the
general government to the legal claimants. Section History: Early Form
