■ JUNEAU LOSES OFFICE
OF ALASKA ROAD
“ JUNEAU, Alaska, June 6—Removal
of the executive and administrative of
fices of the Alaska Road Commission
. from Juneau to Anchorage was an
nounced by Col. J. C. Gotwals, to be
made about the middle of June. The
move involves three of the six mem
bers of the clerical force in Juneau
commission offices, it was stated.
The fiscal offices of the Commis
sion, its headquarters for work in the
„ Southeastern section of Alaska and
headquarters for the Rivers and Har
bors district will remain in Juneau
permanently and the offices in which
the Commission is located will be
maintained^ said Colonel Gotwals. Re
moval of the executive and administra
tive files, he added, is made necessary
by the increased duties of the mem
bers of the Commission in connection
* with the Alaska Railroad which de
mand a large part of their tin*! on
that enterprise.
Colonel Gotwals will make his head
quarters at Anchorage. His duties in
the field are so pressing that it has
been found impossible to continue
headquarters at Juneau. Colonel Jas.
G. Steese, he said, will divide his time
between Anchorage and Juneau.
O. A. Hall, bridge engineer for the
Alaska Road commission, has already
been transferred to Anchorage. The
members of the clerical force to be
transferred will leave within three
weeks. Those to be moved were not
named.

LAND OFFICE
JUNEAU, Alaska, June 4—His re
appointment as Register of the U. S.
Land Office for the Juneau land dis
trict with headquarters at Anchorage,
effective July 1, was officially com
municated today to Frank A. Boyle.

tinuance of the Land Office and its re
moval to Anchorage it is understood
made it advisable to make the reap
pointment at the time the change was
made.

vices relative to the transfer of the
office from Juneau to Anchorage were
received today by Mr. Boyle. The of
ficial notice states;
“Notice is hereby given that the

June 30, 1923, and its business and
