LAND LAWS HELP
MONOPOLISTS
Discussing the operation of the law
reserving for the government 80-rod
strips of land between entries of all
kinds abutting on the shores of navi
gable waters in Alaska, Surveyor-Gen
eral Davidson said:
"Although the Act theoretically pre
vents a monopoly of water frontage,
and does so as far as title is concern
ed, but not as to occupancy and use.
For example, a company, corporation
or an individual acquires title to a
tract through the provisions of tho law
as above, which has a water frontage
of 40 chains, then at a distance of 20
chains in both directions along the
shore from the entered tract tho own
er can acquire title to another tract
of the same frontage on the shore of
the same body of navigable water.
While it is true that the owner of
the adjacent tracts cannot secure ti
tle to tho reserved spaces, neither can
anyone else. Although tho Govern
ment will not alienate these reserve,
it does not prohibit tho use of them in
an unexclusive way. It frequently oc
curs that the same person or corpora
tion owns the land on each of the re
served spaces; it gives them, better
opportunity of using it than other par
ties have, and they do not hesitate to
avail themselves of it, if it is to their
interest to do so. Of course, they do
not place expensive improvements on
the reserve spaces, but utilize them in
var ous ways in the conduct of their j
bus.nes8, the plants of which are sit-'
uat d on their adjoining holdings.
"So far as freedom for landing of
3hips or vessels of any sort is con
cerned. it may be said that In most
eaten no vessels visit such localities,
excepting those belonging to the plants,
ar steamers for transporting the pro
ducts of the plants to markets."
GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT.
