MATTERS OF LOCAL IMPORTANCE.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Andrew Christensen, mana-1
ger of the land and industrial department of the Alaskan En
gineering commission. The Times has gained accurate infor
mation with respocl to two important matters of concern to
ihis community, which are covered in the following:
! alitor Times:
With reference to the use of money received from the sale
of lots. I <|iiote below, for your information, a copy of the clause
which was inserted in the sundry civil bill in connection with
the appropriation for the Alaskan Engineering commission:
“That not to exceed f»0 per centum of the moneys received
from the sale of lots or tracts within any townsite or townsites
heretofore or hereafter sold pursuant to the provisions of the
act of March 1 ‘J, 1!H4, entitled “An act to authorize the pres
ident of the Enited States to locate, construct, and operate
railroads in the territory of Alaska, and for other purposes,”
may. in the discretion of the secretary of the interior, be set
apart and expended within the respective townsites in which'
such lots or tracts are sold, for the purpose of preparing the:
land for occupancy. the construction, installation and mainten
ance of public utilities and improvements, and the construc
tion of public school buildings, under such terms and condi
tions as the secretary of the interior may prescribe, and tehe
moneys so set apart and designated are hereby appropriated
for the purpose of carrying these* provisions into effect: Pro
vided, That such money as may have been heretofore or may ,
hereafter be expended for such purposes under and by author
ity of the Alaskan Engineering commission from the funds at
its disposal shall be reimbursed from the amount designated
for the purposes herein provided.”
You will observe that this proposed law provides that 50
per cent of the money received from the sale of lots within
townsites heretofore or hereafter sold shall be used for pre
paring the land for occupancy, the construction, installation
and maintenance of public htilities'and improvements, and tin*1
construction of public school buildings, under such terms and'
conditions as the secretary of the interior may prescribe, and;
ihat tin* Alaskan Engineering commission is to be reimbursed!
for any money hereof ore expended for this purpose.
As 1 told you over tin* telephone this morning, Mr. Edesj
advised me in a telegram dated April Id, 1!»17, that apparently
this provision would become a law. 1 have not yet been ad
vised whether the Sundry Civil bill has dually passed and been
signed by the president.
Verv respectfuIIv,
A. ClimSTEXNEX. Manager.
ftditor Times:
Pursuant to your request, you art* advised that on April Id.
1!>17. ! rereived the following telegram from Herbert A. Mover,
assistant to the secretary: i
"Secretary lias designated you authorized representative
in matter of coal land lease* Mureau Mines and Land ((flier to
co-operate with you. Copy of order mailed you today.”
The regulations governing coal land leases in the territory
of Alaska, approved May IS, I'Jlti, require that the secretary of
the interior shall have an authorized representative in the ter
ritory for the purpose of supervising operations under the
leases, and it is this work that has been assigned to me.
The bureau of mines has a mine inspector stationed in
Alaska, and 1 will be at liberty to call upon him to examine
the mines for the purpose of ascertaining whether the pro
visions of the lease are complied with and other administrative
matters, such as the checking of the amount of coal mined, etc.,
The money received as royalty is deposited with the register
and receiver of the United States land office at .Juneau, and.
for that reason the general land office will co-operate with me
in the administration of the work.
Verv respectfullv,
A. CHKISTKNSKN, Manager.

UNDERWATER C RAFT
NEW YORK, April 1.—The officer.-;
of the Dutch steamship Romberg
which arrived today report being
stopped on the high seas by a new
type of submarine. The German of
ficer examined the papers of the Bom
berg and allowed her to proceed to her
destination. It is said that the new
type of vessel is very small and is
specially designed for the submarine
blockade. The deck space is so lim
ited that there is hardly room upon it
on which any one of the crew can
stand.
