Commissioner W. A. Chipperfield,
who has spent the past two weeks

made within that period, the fore
closure action follows.
Chipperfield said that although
insufficient funds were appropri
ated to administer the land regis
tration law, he will endeavor to
give all p roperty owners who
filed the required statement of
ownership after Dec. 31, 1953,

ample time and instructions for
preventing any foreclosures. He
estimates that 2,000 statements of
ownership were‘filed after the re
quired filing date expired. Most
of these are from the Third Div
ision.
Law May Be Repealed
Until additional funds are ap
propriated, the office of Depart
?rent of Lands will be unable to
ompile a list of all land whose
ownership has not been filed.
However, such land is subject to
the $5 penalty and lien. Chipper
field said that it is unlikely that
a clear abstract of title or title
guarantee can be given for land
in Alaska unless ownership state
ments are filed according to the
law. He said that the law may be
amended or repealed during the
next session of the legislature, but
owners who plan to sell their land
during the period the law is in
effect shoud make sure that the
required ownership statement has
been filed and that there are no
penalties or liens against the land.
Chipperfield states that the pen
alties should be paid through his
office, Box 368, Anchorage, Alas
ka, and that the notices of penalty
due will contain instructions for
making payment. Ownership
statements should continue to be
filed in the office of the Recorder
of the Precinct where the land is
located.
