Ou behalf of lot owners who
mad'e payments on their lota last
year, wg ghould like information as
to whether they shall bo compel tafy
to pay the deferred) payment this
year. Ag the case now stands,
many of the lot owners did not pay
deferred payments oil lots last year
acting in harmony with aw wc
press direction from the land de
partment which declared such. Pay
ments would be daferredt a year,
thef is, instead) oj malduq complete
payments in five years as announced
whsn the lotg were sold at public
auction, final payment could be
made in six years from date of pur
chase, thug rendering- the year 1918
Immune from payments. Before
♦he public gained knowledge °f this
order of immunity, some of our
lot owners sent the payment to Ju
neau and it was accepted. Now,
what w9 wlslh to know is, do the
lot owners who msado the payment*!
las' year hare to make a payment
this year, the pame as those wlio
who did not pay last year, or do
they "skip" a year, and/ th.ua be
placed on the same basis as thoae
whe did not pay. "We should pup
po?-e, as a matter of strict equity
and Justice, that those who paid last
yeir need not pay this yea<r« What
the land department will do about
the matter, remains to be seen. If
anybody hero known, anything abauit
this question, we ghould like to pub
lish it as a matter of interest to the
public.—Anchorage Times.
