•abandoned and the ownership of
these abandoned tracts is unknown
This precludes the acquisition of
the land by others who may seek
to put it to use, and it prevents
the transfer of the land to Ter- j
ritorial ownership for subsequent I
disposal by it.
Q. How would the Registration
Law relieve that situation?
A. Failure to declare ownership
in a tract of land within a certain
length of time would incur the
forfeiture of the land to the Ter-1
ritory. Disregard of the Regis
tration Law also would involve
4 penalty.
Q. When must the declaration
of ownership be filed?
I A. The Law requires that the
declaration shall be filed on or
before June 30, 1946. The law
also requires that upon transfer
of title to a tract of land on or
after January 1, af any year the
new owner must file a declaration
prior to December 31 of that year.
Q. Where should the declaration
of ownership be filed?
A. In the United States Land Of
fice for the district in which the
land is situated.
Q. Where are the District Land
Offices located?
A. At Anchorage, Fairbanks and
Nome.
Q. Are all types of land subject
to the filing of such a declaration?
A. With four exceptions the legal
title to all types of land must be
registered.
