Alaska Land Lease Bill Aims for Controlled Acreage
A congressional bill seeks to reserve Alaska coal lands for navy use and limit lease rights to mining, with surface rights retained by the government. It sets blocks of 40 to 2,000 acres, up to twenty years, and imposes royalties, rentals, fines, and imprisonment for excess land control. The government would reserve 510 acres Behring and 7,680 in Matanuska for fuel supply.
