HARDING SIGNS
ORDER TO MOVE
LOCAL OFFICES
U. S. Land Offices Ordered
Transferred to Anchorage
—Effective June 30.
An executive order has been signed
by President Harding authorizing
the removal of tibe United Etates
Land Office from Juneau to Anchor
Ktge. according to 'telegraphic advices
received this morning by Frank A.
Boyle, Register and Receiver, from
Commissioner William Spry, of tha
General Land Office at Washington
'Under the authority of the execu
tive order, a departmental order
haa been issued directing that the
Jocaf office 'be closed June 30 and
transferred at once to Anchorage, ac
cording to the Commissioner's wire.
Involves Two Bureaus
The Interior Department's order,
signed by Secretary Work, calls for
the transfer of both the local U. S.
Land Office, of which Mr. Boyle id
head, and tho Field Service head
quarters, of which George A. Parks
Is chief, according to advices re
ceived in the flatter bureau. It is
possible that the offices of J. P.
Walker, Assistant Supervisor of Sur
veys, may also be Included, but Mr
Hoyle said today he did not so in-i
terprat the telegraphic orders and
ds inclined to believe the.se offices
will remla/in here at least for the
present. Neither Mr. Walker nor Mr.
(Parks Is in town
Tt is generally believed here that
•the transfer of the land offices marks
(the initiation by the Department of
the Interior of a policy of concen
tration of Its activities, offices and
'personnel In the Territory to the Al
aska Railroad districts, entailing a.l-|
most complete withdrawal from j
OUUUil'cnaici u ...
Ithe offices to be moved have already,
been leased in Anchorage by Mr. j
Parks, who Is there at th- pit .cent
time, and, although tlje orders Vide
public today, are the first lacteal
knowledge that local people bad of
any con.tem.platad change, all prepar
ations for the changes fire Virtually
completed.
Taken Without Notice
Rumors that such a transfer was
under consideration have bopti afloat
here for several days p.u+t, but lacks 1
wholly official confirmation. All of
■the land office officials, during that
Itlme, derled knowledge of the mat
ter and as late as Phils .morning Gov.
Seott C. Bone was iln ignorance of it.
"I feel that the Department of the
Interior has failed to be Just to
the people most directly concerned,
those having business with the land
offilces, In that It did not give them
an opportunity to be heard on the
transfer," *iiid Allen Shat tuck, presi
dent of the local Chamber of Com
merce. "It iwas scarcely fair to them,
and less fair to Juneau to put such
an order ‘into effect without any pre-,
ltaiinary notlco of any kind," lie
tulded.
iMr. Boyle and other land office(
men affected by the ortrer declined!to
comment on it 'and Its effect on the j
public doing business with the land
ofHce.
