Ruling Frees
Many Alaska
Land Claims
Hundreds of Alaska land claims,
now tied up, will be freed by the
new' order from the Department of
Interior announced yesterday, ac
cording to Lyle Jones, acting re
gional chief of the Division of En
gineers, Bureau of Land Manage
ment.
The measure told of new rules ap
plying to the reserving of roadbanks
by the Unite# States along all
Alaska highways and lesser roads.
The former law which applied,
Jones said, was enacted in 1949 and
called for withdrawals along nearly
all the roads in Alaska. The new
ruling frees many of the roads from
the withdrawal clause and ease
ments will be applied in these cases.
The fact that easements, instead
of withdrawals, are to be reserved
will allow public land entry with
out official survey to segregate
these road right-of-ways on public
lands, Jones said. But he pointed
out that this would be true only
on land along roads where the
status has been changed by the new
directive, and in areas which have
been surveyed under the rectangular
system.
Jones said that hundreds of land
clams are waiting patent because
of the withdrawal clause of the
_1949 Department -oi --Integer—law.
He explained that land cannot be
patented on a section that is not
contiguous. He said some sections
are not patentable, because of a
withdrawal strip for a highway,
without a claimant establishing
homestead rights on both sides of
the strip.
He said that the land survey de
partment does not have men nor
money to make all the surveys nec
essary to free the claims, and that
the new easement clause helps
greatly.
But, he added, “The new ruling
does not go far enough.”
He explained that the new ruling
is definitely a relief measure, but
thought that because of the with
drawal strips along the Alaska high
way, the Richardson and other
highways, development was being
slowed.
Withdrawals along the Alaska
highway are set at 300 feet along
each side of the center line. On
the Richardson, Glenn, Haine;,
Seward-Anchorage, Anchorage-Lake
Spenard and Fairbanks-College
highways it is set at 150 feet along
each side. Along lesser highways,
an easement instead of a with
drawal will be in effect.
