REPORT No. 526

PROVIDING FOR PERFECTING THE TITLE OF C. A. LUNDY TO CERTAIN LANDS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HERETOFORE PATENTED BY THE UNITED STATES

JULY 14 (legislative day, JULY 6), 1953.-Ordered to be printed

Mr. BUTLER of Nebraska, from the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, submitted the following

REPORT

[To accompany H. R. 2779]

The Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, having considered the bill (H. R. 2779) report favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill do pass.

PURPOSE OF THE BILL

The purpose of this bill is to quiet title to approximately 208 acres of land in Plumas County, Calif., to the claimant, Mr. C. A. Lundy. Mr. Lundy acquired what he believed to be clear title to this land in 1931 and since then has remained in continuous possession of it and has made improvements and paid taxes on it. The cloud on the title arises from certain court decisions of 1891 and 1893. Normally, relief in such cases would be granted under the existing Color of Title Act. Whether Mr. Lundy could qualify under that act is not known. There is now pending before this committee, however, a bill which has passed the House, H. R. 1308, amending the Color of Title Act, under which Mr. Lundy could clearly qualify. In view of the equities in this case, the committee feels justified in recommending this special bill for Mr. Lundy's relief.

The report by the House Committee on Interior and Insular of the Interior and Agriculture gives further facts on this bill and is Affairs containing favorable recommendations from the Departments herewith made a part of this report.
