mediate use of rc*fngeesand freedmen,
thc sp?cifie division of which into lots
and the rental or sale thereof, accord?
ing to the law establishing the bureau,

sistant Commissioners of the Districts
and States in which the property is
situated. Each application must be

j thereon such facts as may assist the
i Commissioner in his decision, stating
j especially the ;use to which the pro
