j tions and Forfeitures”:
! ORDER.
! Under and pursuant to the provisions of the Act of
! Congress, approved March 12, 1914 (38 Stat., 305), entitled
| “An Act to authorize the President of the United States to
i locate, construct, and operate railroads in the Territory of
| Alaska and for other purposes,” it is hereby ordered that
i the administration of that portion of said Act relating to
the withdrawal, location, and disposition of townsites shall
be in accordance with the following regulations and provi
sions, to-wit:
REGULATIONS.
Reservations.-The Alaskan Engineering Commission
will file with the Secretary of the Interior, when deemed
necessary, its recommendations for the reservation of such
areas as in its opinion may be needed for townsite purpos
es. The Secretary of the Interior will thereupon transmit
such recommendations to the President with his objections
thereto or concurrence therewith. If approved by the Pres
ident, the reservation will be made by Executive Order.
Survey—When in the opinion of the President the pub
lic interests require a survey of any such reservation, the
Secretary of the Interior shall cause to be set aside such
portions for railroad purposes as may be selected by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission, and cause the remain
der, or a part thereof, to be surveyed into urban and sub
urban blocks and lots of suitable size, and into reservations
for parks, schools, and other public purposes and for Gov
ernment use. Highways should be laid out, where praeti
; cable, along all shore lines, and sufficient land for dock and
wharf purposes along such lines should be reserved in such
places as there is any apparent necessity therefor. The
| plats of such survey will be prepared in triplicate, one for
| the General Land Office to be on tracing linen, one for the j
j local land office, and one for the Recorder of the proper re-1
| cording precinct. The survey will be made under the sup-!
ervision of the Commissioner of the General Land Office j
and the plats will be approved by the Chairman of the |
Alaskan Engineering Commission.
Public Sale.—The unreserved lots will be offered at pub
lic outcry to the highest bidder at such time and place, and
after such publication of notice, if any, as the Secretary of
the Interior may direct, and he may appoint or detail some
suitable person as Superintendent of Sale to supervise the
same, and may fix his compensation and require him to
give sufficient bond.
Superintendent’s Authority.—Under the supervision of \
the Secretary of the Interior, the Superintendent of the i
Sale will be, and he is hereby, authorized to make all ap-!
praisements of lots and at any time to reappraise any lot
which in his judgment is not appraised at the proper
amount, or to fix a minimum price for any lot below which
it may not be sold, and he may reject any and all bids
for any lot and at any time suspend, adjourn, or postpone
the sale of any lot or lots to such time and place as he may
deem proper.
Manner.—Bids may be made either in person or by
agent, but not by mail nor at any time or place other than
the time and place when the lots are offered for sale
hereunder and any person may purchase any number of
lots for which he is the highest bidder. Bidders will not
be required to show any qualifications as to age, citizen
ship, or otherwise. If any successful bidder fails to make
the payment and file the application and other papers at
the time and in the manner hereinafter required, the lot
awarded to him may be reoffered for sale, and his right
thereto will be forfeited. Nothing herein will prevent the
transfer by deed of the interests secured by the purchase
and the partial payment for the lot, but the assignee will
acquire no greater right than that of the original pur
chaser, and the final entry and patent will issue to the
original purchaser when all payments are made.
Terms.—No lot will be sold for less than $25.00, and no
bid exceeding that amount will be accepted unless made in
multiples of five dollars; the minimum of $25.00 on each
lot sold for less than $75.00 must be paid in cash within the
time hereinafter specified, and if the price bid is $75.00 or
more, one-third of the bid price must be paid in cash with
in said specified time; the remainder of the purchase price
will be divided into five equal annual installments, payable
in one, two, three, four and five years, respectively, from
the date of the register’s certificate of sale, and no final
certificate of entry will be issued until the expiration of
said five years and until payment has been made in full for
the lot, and no patent will be issued thereon during said
period. The successful bidder will be given by the Super
intendent of Sale a memorandum certificate for identifica
tion purposes, showing name and address of bidder, lot,
and amount of bid, and the biddei* must file it with the
Superintendent of Sale before the close of the next suc
ceeding sale day, or the next business day if bid is accept
ed on last sale day, together with his application to pur
chase the lot properly filled, signed, and acknowledged be
fore any officer authorized to administer oaths ana using
an official seal, and accompanied by the cash payment re
quired by these regulations, all on the forms hereby ap
proved and made a part of these regulations.
The Superintendent of Sale will issue a memorandum
receipt to the bidder for the money paid, describing the
lot purchased, and hq will as soon thereafter as possible
deposit with the receiver of the local land office the money
received, and file with its officers the papers deposited
with him by said bidder, together with his certificate as to
successful bidder. Thereupon, if no objection appears, the
register will issue his certificate of sale in duplicate and
transmit the duplicate copy'to said bidder.
If it be deemed advisable the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office may direct the receiver of public moneys
of the proper district to attend sales herein provided for,
in which event the cash payment required shall be paid to
said receiver, who will issue his official receipt therefor in
lieu of the memorandum receipt of the Superintendent of
Sale.
Conditions and Forfeitures.—If any lot or lots sold or
any part thereof shall be used for the purpose of manufac
turing, selling, or otherwise disposing of intoxicating li
quors as a beverage, or for gambling, prostitution, or any
unlawful purpose before final payment is made, and dur
ing a period of five years from the date of register’s certi
ficate of sale, or if the purchaser shall fail during said per
iod to comply with any and all regulations and require
ments which the Secretary of the Interior, in his discre
tion, may make or authorize to be made, for the improve
ment of streets, sidewalks, and alleys, promotion of sani
tation and fire protection in the townsite, all rights of the
applicant under his purchase of said lot or lots shall ter
minate and a forfeiture thereof and of the payments there
tofore made thereon may be declared by the Secretary of
the Interior, and his finding of fact thereon shall be final.
If any person who has made partial payment on the lot
purchased by him fails to make any succeeding payment
required under these regulations at the date such payment
becomes due, the money deposited by such person for such
lot will be forfeited, and the lot, after forfeiture is declared,
will be subject to disposition as provided herein. Lots re
maining unsold at the close of the sale, or thereafter de
clared forfeited for nonpayment of any part of the pur
chase price under the terms of the sale, will be subject to
future disposition at public sale at such time and place
as may thereafter be provided.
Warning.—All persons are warned against forming any
combination or agreement which will prevent any lot from
selling advantageously, or which will in any way hinder or
embarrass the sale, and all persons offending will be prose
cuted under section 2373 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States, which reads as follows:
hvery person who, before or at the time of the pub
lic sale of any of the lands of the United States, bar
gains, contracts, or agrees, or attempts to bargain, con
tract, or agree, with any other person, that the last
named person shall not*bid upon or purchase the land
so offered for sale, or any parcel thereof,, or who by in
timidation or unfair management hinders or prevents,
