10 ISSUE DEEDS
10 DIES
LAND
C. B. Arundel, town trustee
ami a representative of the Juneau
land office, ig in Halneg making
preparations to issue deeds to pro
perty holders. The Haines town
aite question has been before the
land office sine© the incorporation
of the town, a period of more
than eight years.
Mr. Arundel has two gangs of
m"n surveying the townsite at the
present time, and when completed
a plat will be sent to the govern
ment land office in Washington, D.
C. When approved this will be
returned, and Mr. Arundel will give
30 days notice in which, property
owners in Haines are asked to
file their application for deeds. It
will probably be February or March
belore the entire townsite deed
ing is completed.
People entering Haines in tbe
early days settled upon govern
ment land, built fences around
the property, improved it with
building, etc., and when the town
incorporated they asked the gov
ernment for deed to the property.
All the government requires of the
land holders is that they pay
$1.23 an acre and stand all charges
for surveying, deeding, and record
ing. Tiio Haines council has ad
vanced the money, which will later
be returned by assessment.
Mr. Arundel says the cost of
deeding the Haines townsite will
be unusually cheap. Douglas and
Wraugell are being deeded in the
same way, but the cost has been
much greater.
