ANCHORAGE BOOTLEGGERS
 WILL. LOSE THEIR LOTS

A considerable controversy has arisen over the question as to whether CT not the government may enforce the penalty ot forfeiture which the provisions of the sale of town lots in Anchorage provide in the event of the violation of the conditions Of sale by the purchaser.

We'll known lawyers have maintained that the restrictions imposed are void and the lots may not be forfeited under them. The land office at Juneau maintains to the con trary, and that the government will en- force the penalty IS evident from the fol lowing letter from A.
