May. IA, 1898 is authorized. Hun dreds of small sales and free use permits have been made and is- sued under this Act. The 1947 law authorizes, among other things, the sale of clay. A brick manu- featuring industry is developing at Anchorage using material obtained under this law.
 The Coal Leasing Act dates back to 1914 and follows the standard pattern of tonnage requirements. bonds and royalties.
 There are other lanC laws in ef- feet in Alaska-some new, some old-but these are the main ones in operation in the Territory. No land laws operate smoothly when conflicts of interests appear anG as Alaska grows and land acquisition becomes more and more important, these conflicts become important factors in the adjustment of appli- cations, a Land Office official ob- served.

change by Congress last year. Heretofore, homesites, cabin sites and business sites were restricted to surveyed land under this Act and as much less than one per cent of Alaska has been surveyed. the law was restrictive. The new law permits unsurveyed land to be leased as small tracts and sold to the lessee after survey.
 A careful reading of the last two mentioned laws shows that land in some withdrawals can be appropri- ated for recreational and public purposes as we'll as for small tracts.
 | One big change in the homestead law was made. Korean veterans are eligible for all veteran bene- fits but Congress decreed that ex- servicemen of World War II and Korea must cultivate IFS of the land as must all other homestead CTS. Again. this puts more empha- sis on actual farming. which was the original purpose of the law.
 Reviewing a few laws in use in Alaska - if a person wants to farm. he applies under the Home stead Law which, of course, is an oldtime statute being extended to Alaska in 1898. It's been amended numerous times but it still requires farmer to farm and live on the land. It does not provide for someone else to do the work or put up the money. A weakness in the law, the ELM official said, is that is doesn't protect the ineX- perienced individual from home stealing worthless soil Perhaps an amendment permitting home stealing only on agricultural land is in order.
 If a person wants to go into business, he has several acts to use The newest one is the Public Sale Act enacted in 1949 and per mits purchase of up to 160 acres at public auction. The Small Tract Act permits lease and then purch- ase of one tract of five acres or less at an appraised price. This Act was passed in 1888 and extend ed to Alaska several years later.
Seward seaport record., 1955-01-14

or not this is a weakness in the law is for Congress to determine. a spokesman for ELM said.
 The grazing law for Alaska was passed in 1927, seven years before the Taylor Grazing Act which is used in the Continental United States. The Alaska grazing statute has no acreage limitation and is so flexible, ELM officils said, that terms of the various leases can be altered to meet almost any situa- tion. .
 A point to be observed is that some withdrawn land can be ob- tained under the Public Sale Act, Small Tract law and under the grazing regulations. Records show that with one or two exceptions, all of the land sold under the Pub lie Sale Act and most of the graz ing leases involved lands which are inside some type of reserva, tion. This, together with Secretary of the Intreior McKay's policy of reducing reservations to a min- imum, indicates a definite trend toward easing the problems land withdrawals have caused in Alaska, it was pointed out.
 The disposal of timber and a wide variety of resources of the land was authorized by a 1947 lew. A special amendment was passed in 1850 to permit ELM in Alaska to dispose of materials located be- low mean high water mark in nav igable waters. Before that time no Federal agency or individual could legally obtain gravel from streams or off coast areas. Dispos- ition of timber unCer the Act of

Alaskan Land Laws Said Not So Bad

A review of land laws placed into effect during the past few years reveals that recurring state ments that land laws in Alaska date back to the Civil War days deserve, a critical analysis, Blu reau of Land Management official in Anchorage said recently. Ad- mittedly, changes for the better always can be made and some streamlining is advisable, but gen erally most of the older statutes have been modernized or usable substitutes have been enacted, he said. The principal thing to be saiC. for the land laws in operation in Alaska is that stress is made on development-doing something with the land, it was pointed out.
 Congress in 1854 raised the area that may be held by one oil and gas leasee in Alaska from 15,360 acres to 100000 acres. The rental per acre is 25 cents in Alaska com pdT6u Wltu OU SclilS III tuc SOhli- mental United States. Another new law provides that the leasing of land for oil and gas development does not prevent the stalking of mining claims on the same land, if it is available otherwise. Nation al Forests and Wild Life reserva- tions are subject to oil and gas leases under certain circumstances.
 Provision was made by Congress this past year for non-profit cor porations such as churches and Boy Scouts of America, to buy land for recreational and public purposes. This same act allows the Territory, municipalities and other political subdivisions to buy land for those purposes, too. An applicant is limited to the pur' chase of $40 acres each year. The land must be used for the purpose indicated or it reverts to the United States.
 The land acquisition law which Is most active in Alaska, the Small Tract Act, was given beneficial
Seward seaport record., 1955-01-14

The Headquarters Site Act passed in 1884 gives the right of occupying any non.mineral, unreserved pub lie domain as headquarters or business and permits the patent ing of an area of five acres or less while the Trade and Manufacturing Act, passed in 1898, is similar and permits up to 80 acres. The pur- chase price is $2.5O per acre. Some are old and some are new. but there are a variety of laws under which business site may be obtained.
 If person merely wants a place to live, there are two laws under which he can get a home site the Small Tract Act which was ammended in 1854 to permit classification of unsurveyed lands, and the domestic Act of 1884. Under the Small Tract Act, per son leases tract of five acres for period of two or three years and then pays an appraised pur- chase price set at the time he leases the land. He can buy the land at the end of the first year if he has complied with the lease terms. No stated period of occu- pancy is required. The Homesite Act of 1884 allows a qualified per son to move onto an unoccupied, unreserved portion of the public domain, live there five months per year for three years, pay $2.50 per acre and become eligible for patent.
 At times, the Bureau of Land Management receives complaints because veterans get priorities in filing and credit service. Whether

such signs are few, and
are placed only at points con-

if a motorist approaches an

no traffic is in sight, he is re-

It was also made clear that
