SQUATTERS OlWFREL Off ALASKA
HIGHWAY IN 60 DAYS
Settlers who have erected buildings along
the Alaska Highway and Tok Cut-off closed
areas have been served with notices to va
cate within 60 days. The orders were sign
■ ed by Lowell Puckett, and served by Land
Office men from Anchorage.
Land along the Alaska Highway was first
closed for a distance of 20 miles on either
side. This was later reduced to 5 miles.
v''hen the Har ended, and the Army released .
the highway, development was held back by
federal red tape which required releases
from the Havy and numerous other govern
ment departments. Thile Canada was proceed
ing with preparations for tourist travel by
permitting hotels, service stations and oth
er accommodations to be built along the high
way, the Alaska side was tightly restricted.
Newcomers and oldtimers, veterans and others
inquired at the land office whJch sympath
ized with them and admi-tted the need for
roadside establishments, but could do noth
ing. • The result was that squatters moved
in. Lost of them hoped to get the land
when it should be opened, but made their
buildings of portable character so that
they could be moved if necessary.
Last October unsurveyed portions of the high
way were opened to homesteading back of a
300 foot strip reserved for possible future
right-of-ways, but best areas for commer
cial development were still reserved until
they could be surveyed and offered in small
tracts for residence of commercial use.
Two areas—at Tck Junction and Big Delta—
will be opened for home, cabin,*camp, re
creation and business use next month under
: a lease with option to buy arrangement, in
fwhich veterans will be given 90 days prior
preference.
