NEW MiSIU POLICY IS

SIGNATURE. SITS MS
• , #
That a departmental.^ co-ordination
and consolidation .policy affecting the
Departments of Interior, Agriculture,
and Commerce, has been worked out
and a tentative order prepared for ap
proval by President Coolidge, was in
timated at Juneau last week by Gov
ernor Geo. A. Parks, speaking before
the Chamber, of Commerce, reports
the Juneau Empire.
He said he did not feel at liberty
to discuss it pending the signing of
the final order.
Citing one change already affected
which eliminates considerable delay
in procedure that has been experienc
ed in the past, Governor Parks said
new regulations governing public
land surveys has already been put in
to effect. In the past when homesteads
surveys were made in Alaska, it
had bSen necessary to send the plats
to Washington for approval before
procedings for patent could be start
ed. This’ often meant delays ranging
from three to six months. This has
been changed so that the Cadastral
Engineer for the Teritory, E. C. Guir
in, may give final approval to the sur
vey and the applicant begin patent
proceedings at once.
This is but instance of how the pol
icy of co-ordination and consolidation
will improve Federal administration
in Alaska, said the Governor. Many
concessions have been made by the
Washington authorities but he felt
it advisable not to go into detail pend
ing final approval of the executive
order which will put the new .policy
into effect
Alaska has many friends in both
Houses, he said, who are working en
ergetically for all Alaska legislation
of merit. He mentioned Senators Wil
lis and Phipps, and Representatives
Lanham, Vestal and McKeown, all of
whom have visited Alaska recently.
Generally, all Alaska appropriation
items that had been considered by the
House committees up to the time of
the Governor’s departure from Wash
ington, had received generous treat
ment. Little if any reductions were
suggested. The Alaska Road Commis
sion item, however, had not been tak
