that no more could be paid for
them than appraised value. He also

of appropriating each year only
.such sum as the government would
require for that year, made it diffi
cult for the government to arrange
for t'ae purchase of a railroad.

timated that this difficulty could
19 overcome through a leasing
agreement should tho government;
decide to utilize the Copper River
and Northwestern route.
