EXECUTIVE ORDER DIFFERS PAYMENT
 ON TOWN LOTS

recently puDlSned Tn these columns regarding the payments of install ments for lots on the Nenana town. site, the townsite manager makes the following statement for the in. formation of the public.
 The annual payments for all lots sold at the original sale in August 1916, are due on September 15 of each year, beginning with 1917 and ending with 1921.
 These payments are still due on these dates, and if the money is sent the General Land Office in Fair banks will be accepted, and patent issued after the final payment in 1921.
 Howeer, if the payment is not made when due or within the year following, the lot will not be re- ported for forfeiture until one full year has elapsed after the date due, September 18th.
 Each year the payment becomes due on the same date; but each year purchasers are allowed one year in which to make payments before the lot may be reported for forfeiture. i The net result of this is, pro- vided the purchaser takes advantage of privilege of delay each year, that the last payment will be made in September, 1922, instead of Sep tembel, 1921.
 Anyone desiring to delay the pay ment that was due September 15, 1918, may make that payment ant time between now and September | 15, 1919; such payments should be made in ample time to reach the General Land Office in Fairbanks on or before the last named date. ! If later the purchaser desires to bring his payments up to date he is privileged to do so by making the additional payment of an installment when it is actually due, thus not taking advantage of the privilege of delay. This would then bring the patent for the lot in 1921, pro- vided future payments were made when due.
 The above statement applies to lots sold after the August, 1916 sale, ex- cepting that instead of September 18th of each year the particular date that applies to each lot will be the date when due; these later sales were made at no regular time, and purchasers may now obtain informa- tion at the townsite office as to the official date before which payments should be made for these lots.
 The same privilege applies to these later sales only the dates on which payments are due will be different.
 The full text of the executive order is as follows:
