 Recommends Changes Al Land Law Hearing

At a hearing held last Friday and Saturday in Anchorage by the House Subcommittee on h. terior and Insular Affairs, the committee on land laws revision set up six weeks ago at the All Alaska Chamber of Commerce made general observations and recommendations regarding oper- ation of land laws in the Terri tory.
 The Alaska C of C committee, of which James Hurley of the Valley is a member and Ben Gull yer of Anchorage is chairman, ob- served that the greatest single de- terrent to the settlement of Alaska has been the lack of a simple, di- rect method for acquiring title to land lying in the public domain.
 The committee also cited as an obstacle the operation of the 1910 law permitting land withdrawals and reserves by the President, with authority delegated to the Secretary of Interior. It was recommended that CD procedures be established for periodic review of all withdrawals and that the agency in whose favor the with draWal was made be called upon to justify it's continuation or per init it's return to the public do- main; CD that an amendment to the act provide definite time limit for all withdrawals and provision for automatic return to public domain unless renewal has been requested and approved; (3) that withdrawal of large tracts of land for purposes of classified ton be discontinued.
 Other recommendations includ- ed: abolishment of the Shore Space Reserve Act of 1898 and restoring to entry of all public lands lying along navigable waterways; stepping up of pro- cedures to hasten procurement of title to land in the unsurveyed portion of the public domain; broadening of Small Tracts Act to include unsurveyed lands.
 To guard against future obstac- les to the development of big in- dustry in Alaska Qike those now being faced by ALCOA) it was recommended that the present Trade and Manufacturing Site Act be abolished and revised Pub lie Land Sales Act provide for , direct or negotiated sale of land 1 within the public domain of an [ amount not to exceed four sec- tions, that the sale of tracts of sub- stantial size be subject to use approval and that a three-year period for compliance be provid- ed. It was also recommended that 1 the above compliance feature be a requirement for any individual | purpose of five acres or more.
 Other recommendations of spec | ial interest to people in the Ma tanuska Valley are the following: 1
 That sand and gravel be re- moved from the mining laws and placed under the Materials Act ] to preclude the possibility of val uable agricultural lands being di- i verted on the pretext of their i being mineral.
 That one agency alone be com missioned to develop Alaska's public road system and that the road building program be project ed with adequate laterals and feeder roads into those areas best suited for agriculture and other types of development.
