Summary:	Report of the Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee about issues of using funds from the sales of public lands for the improvement of sands flats on the Muskegon River. In 1841 the Congress of the United States passed an act requiring that the proceeds of the sales of public lands should be used for internal improvements. The committee concluded "whatever amount shall be allowed by the Auditors and paid on this claim, should be charged over to the internal improvement fund, and credited to the State on its indebtedness to that fund. In this justice can be done to the claimant, and no infraction of law committed, even impliedly, on the provisions of the constitution." (Page 5).
