SECOND REQUEST
SENT SECRETARY
ON LAND OFFICE:
r\ « --
Frisco Supports Local Re
quest —Mayor Sends An- j
other Wire to Work.
Late development* in the loe.il l'
S. Land Off too matter today Include 1
a. second telegraphic request by
Mayor Goldstein on the Department
of interior tto suspend the transfer,
assurances from Ketchikan that like
action would be taken there, and
advice from San Francisco that the
Chamber of Commerce there lias al
ready taken the matter tip with both
the .Secretary of Interior and the
Department cf Commerce.
The second request from this city
to Secretary Work was made yes
terday after Mayor Goldstein ha I
received a telegram from the Secre
tary declining to recommend sus
pension of title transfer until the ar
rival of the Presidential party In A!
aska It points out that a knowledge
of local conditions Is necessary in
determining the effect of closing the
local land office on various indus
tries.
Frisco Takes Action
In direct contrast to the decision
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
was the action taken by the San
.Francisco organization. The latter in
a telegram received by Mayor Gold
stein said:
nave wired me uniieu oiaies
■Chamber of Commerce anii Secretary
of Interior regarding land office mat
ter, urging land office be not moved
from Juneau until situation can lie
reviewed by President and Interior
Secretary anal that another land of
fice be created for Anchorage. It
will be a pleasure to be helpful In
this matter in any way we can."
The attitude or the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce is as gratify
ing as that of the Seattle Chamber
■was disappointing, said Mayor Gold
stein. The Seattle body declined to
act on the ground that it was a local
fight In which It did not care to be
come involved. “There is no fight
■between Juneau and Anchorage over
a land office or anything else. W>
are not protesting against Anchorage
•having a land office,” saW Mayoi
Goldstein. "On the contrary, we have
plainly stated, and so informed th«
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, that.
Anchorage should have a land office
but urged that a new one be created
for that district- We merely asked!
Bonttlo to request the Secretary of
Interior to hold In abeyance the
removal of the Juneau land office
until the situation could be viewed
personally by President Harding and
Secretary Work and regiet very]
much that the organization IheraJ
which represents the business men!
who probably do more business in!
Juneau than any other Alaska town, j
did not feel like aiding us.”
iMayor Goldstein addod that he had]
received -telegraphic advices from
Ketchikan saying that the City Coun-,
ell there would send a protest, after!
last night’s meeting, to the Secre
tary of Interior.
Second Request Insistent
The 'Mayor’s -second telegram to
Secretary Work said:
"We do not question your gaod
Intentions to provide for the. handling
of land offilco business arising at
Jun-eau, but under the law no new
land office can be established at
Juneau or other adequate provision!
made to take care of business aris
ing the.ro until after Congress meets,
while immediate provision can be
made to take care of the needs of
AnchGrago by including Anchorage ■
within the Fairbanks land division,
which can tie done by executive or- i
der There Is therefore no good rea
son why Juneau should be left with
out a land office until Congress
can act. The disastrous effect that
this would have upon the industries
of this section cann,ot be fully por
1 rayed in a telegram nor understood
without a knowledge of lo^al con
ditions. We feel certain that the sit
uation will appeal to you as soon
»s you can come here and acquire
this knowledge by personal observa
lion. We, therefore, again make what
soems to us to be an entirely re-n
sonablo request that the matter b<
held in abeyance for a few days
until you can see for yourself. Ac
cording to press reports your arrival
here to take place only nine days
after the order as made takes effect.
We feel that you will pardon us for
being so insistent upon this matter
because we are satisfied you would
censure us for adopting any other
coii-roo if you know the true situation
as It will be made clear to you upor
your arrival In the Territory."
