 Dishaw said that transactions re- garding such property and bank loans made on it are handled here as if the area were upland and that there is no practical reason why 1t should not be eligible for FILA ben efits.
 All of Front Street and the prop erty lying between it and the water front, as well as much other land in this part of Alaska, Dishaw said, come under the FILA ban. He is asking that the regulation be al- tered.
