The re are few places in Ala ska where the re is a local organ tzatton which has real or implied authon ty of sanitation distr1 ct, outside of towns and cities, so that there will be few cases of direct sale under this regu1at ion. 1t was said.
 The regulations require payment of fees In more si tu- ations than was forme rly the case. At the time an app1i- cation Is filed on a certain form, fee of $lo is requtr- cd and also when applicatio ons to pur chase, to renew the leases, or to assign them are made, a filling fee of BIO is required These fees a re not returned to the appl i cant even though his app11 cati on is re jected. However, when a special drawing card is used to determine what 1ndivi dual is entitled to each tract un- der the veterans preference regulat ions, no fee is re~ quired for the filling of the cards
 Generally, no person M11 be perqni itted to obtain by lease or purchase more than one tract under the act, &C., cording to the regulations This has al ways been the rula If an appl licant makes g strong showing that it is necessary that he obtain an other tract, his application nay be- a11oued.
