TWELVE H0ME5ITES
 READY FOR PATENT

Twelve Alaska National Forest homesites have recently been made available for patent under the ap- plicable public-land laws, according to information received in the Ju- neau office of Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman. Those con- cerned in this section are as fol- lows
 Jack Trambitas; Tract J, Peter son Hill Group, Glacier Highway; Harry c. Br9cken; Lot 5, Fritz Cove Group. Aux Bay; Francis T. Sterl- ing; Lot 4, Triangle Group, Aux Bay; Kenneth M Nelson; Lot I, Block l, Aux Lake Group; Howard Hayes; Lot L, Mile Group, Gla- cier Highway; George J. Nelson; Lot IS, Killisnoo Group; L. w Fitz- patrick; Lot B, Smugglers Cove Group.
 The signing of the public-land orders hy the Secretary of the In terior on May 29 and June 3, 1947, eliminating these areas from the National Forests, is the first step leading towards patent. Homesite permits were originally issued by the Forest Service authorizing oc- cupancy of the land and each of the above permittees have since continuously resided on the permit area for at least three years to the exclusion of a home elsewhere.
 The Regional Forester states that this is in line with the Forest Ser vice policy of providing tracts of land for homes of bona-fide set tiers along the Forest Highways and other sections adjacent to the various communities. The Regional Forester also points out that thou sands Of dollars have been spent from Forest Service funds in build ing spur roads to open up new groups of hcmesites and laying out these groups in advance of demand.
