SAY ANCHORAGE LOTS
BROUGHT GOOD PRICE.
(internment is Now About to Lay
Concrete Sidewalks in
New Town.
That the second sale of lots in An
chorage resulted in good prices is the
information brought by people who
came on the Watson. 1 he sale did
not begin until Monday afternoon at
a o’clock, according to Frank Watson
of the Admiral line, and the ship left
that night and very little opportunity
was given to those aboard to find out
the facts about the sale. Mr. Watson
says that one lot which sold for $500
in the first sale and which reverted to
the government because of the inabili
ty of the purchaser to meet the pay
ment brought $1,150 at this sale.
John S. Coply, who passed by on the
Watson, says that quite a few sub
stantial buildings are going up. One
is a three story hotel. Mr. Coply also
says that concrete sidewalks are to be
put down by the government.
