Ruling Frees Many Alaska Land Claims

Hundreds of Alaska land claims, now tied up, will be freed by the new order from the Department of Interior announced yesterday, ac- cording to Lyle Jones, acting re- gional chief of the Division of En- gineers, Bureau of Land Manage ment.
 The measure told of new rules ap- plying to the reserving of roadbanks by the United States along all Alaska highways and lesser roads.
 The former law which applied, Jones said, was enacted in 1e49 and called for withdrawals along nearly all the roads in Alaska. The new ruling frees many of the roads from the withdrawal clause and ease ments will be applied in these cases.
 The fact that easements. instead of withdrawals, are to be reserved will allow public land entry with out official survey to segregate these road right-of-ways on public lands, Jones said. But he pointed out that this would be true only on land along roads where the status has been changed by the new directive, and in areas which have been surveyed under the rectangular system.
 Jones said that hundreds of land clans are waiting patent because of the withdrawal clause of the la49- Department Of Interier-laH. He explained that land cannot be patented on a section that is not contiguous. He said some sections are not patentable. because of a withdrawal strip for a highway, without a claimant establishing homestead rights on both sides of the strip.
 He said that the land survey de- partment does not have men nor money to make all the surveys nec- essary to free the claims, and that the new easement clause helps greatly.
 But, he added, "The new ruling does not go far enough"
 He explained that the new ruling is definitely a relief measure, but thought that because of the with drawal strips along the Alaska high way, the Richardson and other highways, development was being slowed
 Withdrawals along the Alaska highway are set at 300 feet along each side of the center line. On the Richardson. Glenn, Haines, Seward-Anchorage. Anchorage-Lake Spenard and Fairbanks College highways it is set at 150 feet along each side. Along lesser highways, an easement instead of a with drawal will be in effect.
