Senator Dill had expected to I

enthusiasm.
“I shall introduce a bill to)
provide Federal aid for old-age
pensions,” Senator Dill told a
epresentative of LABOR. It is

ment agreeing to bear a part of

Requirements necessary for
elimination. After issue of
permit, the tract must be im
proved by construction of suit
able home; it must be occupied
as a permanent home to the
exclusion of home elsewhere
for a period of at least three
years. The land must be non
mineral in character.
Elimination of tract of land
held under homesite permit
will be made then upon appli
cation to the department. Sum
mer homes will not be regarded

tion. It is expected also that
certain areas along main roads
vill be reserved for summer
lomes colonies so as to have
hem permanently available for
that purpose.
Noncompliance with permit
—will bring forth cancellation
of permit or the area reduced

judgment of the forest super

The above regulation is from
the Act of March 2, 1927 en
titled ‘An Act extending the
homestead laws and providing
for right-of-way for railroads
in the District of Alaska, and
for other purposes, ’approved
May 14, 1898,’ and the same is
hereby amended by adding
thereto the following after the
word ‘otherwise’ in line 14 of
the section.
The laws governing home
steading remains the same.
The act of 1927 is merely for
the purpose of giving the citiz
9ns a right to certain small
tracts without the more severe
htomestead regulations to con
tend with. It does not restrict
Homesteaders t o five-a ere
tracts and eliminate or abrogate
;he homestead rights of any
jitizen, regardless of any posi
;ion that may be taken by the
forestry Bureau.
