    The board is authorized to accept on behalf of the state 
 any gift, grant, bequest, or devise made for the purposes of 
 this chapter, and administer the same as directed by the donor.  
 All proceeds therefrom including money derived from the sale of 
 any real or personal property shall be deposited in the state 
 treasury and credited to the Minnesota veterans home endowment, 
 bequest, and devises fund.  Said fund shall consist of two 
 accounts, one of which shall include any trusts prescribed by 
 the donor, the other shall include any currently expendable 
 proceeds.  Money in the fund is appropriated to the board for 
 the purposes for which it was received.  Disbursements from this

 other state warrants. 

    Whenever the board shall deem it advisable, in accordance 
 with law, to sell or otherwise dispose of any real or personal 
 property thus acquired, the commissioner of administration upon 
 the request of the board shall sell or otherwise dispose of said 
 property in the manner provided by law for the sale or 
 disposition of other state property by the commissioner of 
 administration.
