BLM Making
Investigation At
Salmon Lake
George Schmidt and Dick Mil
ler of the Fairbanks office of the
Bureau of Land Management are
making a land investigation in
this area, including Salmon I^ake.
They stated that the area being
used by several local people at
the Lake has been reserved from
settlement as a power site. How
ever, his department is trying to
frave a modification made for
recreation cabins. If and when
this is accomplished it will help
the people who have had surveys
made.
One problem, he stated, was
under what land act they should
file. Many have filed under the
homesite act which required five
months’ residence a year.
If a recreation site is permitted
then it will be necessary to have
a building, a minimum of 120
square feet, suitable for summer
use, on a permanent foundation,
in order to qualify.
Schmidt stated that those who
have had their land surveyed
should leave their posts, although
they have no legal right to the i
land. No petitions, however, for
small tract classifications are
being rejected, pending a deci
sion on how the matter will be
handled.
These Bureau of Land Manage
ment representatives are at the
Polaris, and will interview any
one who has land problems.
