RULING ON LOTS
A considerable controversy has
arisen over the question as to whether
or not the government may enforce
the penalty of forfeiture which the
provisions of the sale of town lots in
Anchorage provide in the event of the
violation of the conditions of sale tty
the purchaser. The government lias
announced that the lands in the new
railroad town purchased by parties
wtio have since been convicted ot
selling liquor, contrary to the terms
and conditions of the sale, would be
compelled io forfeit Hie property.
Well known lawyers have maintained
that the restrictions imposed are void
and the lots may not be forfeited
under them. The land office at Ju
neau maintains to the contrary, and
that the government will enforce lie
penalty is evident from the following
letter from A. Christensen, chief ol
Hie field division of the land office
“I enclose herewith a copy of the
Alaskan Railroad Townsite regula
tions, approved by the president on
June 151, 1915. governing the disposal
of townsitcs along Hie government
railroad in Alaska, and under which
the lots at Anchorage were sold dur
ing the past summer. You will note
that under the heading •Conditions aiid
Forfeitures,’ the lots sold under these
regulations must not tie used for the
purpose of manufacturing, selling or
otherwise disposing of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage, or for gambling,
prostitution or any unlawful impose
before final payment on the lots is
made, and during a period of five
years from the date of the certificate
of sale, under penalty of forfeiture of
the lot and money paid in to the time
of forfeiture.
“Cnder these regulations, on Janu
ary 29, 1916, tlie secretary of the in
terior forfeited six Anchorage town
site lots because the purchasers had
been duly convicted or entered a plea
of guilty to the charge of violation ol
Section 2581, Compiled Laws of Alas
ka, which prohibits the sale of inioxi
eating liquors without a license
Ten other cases are under consider
ation wherein the lessee was con
victed of the same offense. Under tin
regulations, ignorance by the pur
chaser, or tlie acts of his lessee ol
others on lots purchased by him it
no defence. However, an opportunity
will he given the purchaser In these
cases only to show that he had n<
knowledge of the violations.
On February 16. 1-916, regulutioni
were promulgated by the departmen
of the interior, governing the proce
dure for the forfeiture of lots uudei
the Alaskan Railroad Townsite regu
lations. Circular No. 458, and I bei
that you will publish them, or ex
tracts therefrom, as the commissione
i
, of the general land office has Indi
cated that they be made generally
known throughout Alaska. You will
note that Far. 14 of these regulations
provides that where any lot purchaser
or joint purchaser or successor In
interest as transferee, assignee, lessee,
etc., shall be convicted of an offence
which constitutes a violation of the
Alaskan Railroad Townsite regula
tions. the secretary of the Interior may
In his discretion declare forfeiture of
the lot Involved. These regulations
! will govern the procedure In all cases
arising after the date of their pro
mulgation February 16, 1916.
Copies may be obtained from the
chief of field division, general land
officefl Juneau, Alaska, upon request."
