(Associated Press Photos) DIMOND ASSURED KETCHIKAN MAN FUNDS WILL BE OBTAINS PATENT RELEASED SOON AFTER 3 YEARS Delegate Told by Secretary Ickes Action to Release Money Imminent WASHINGTON, July 29.(—Spec- ial correspondence) — Assurances were received by Delegate Dimond that in the immediate future Sec- retary Ickes will take the action necessary to release and make im- mediately available the funds al- ready allocated for public works projects in Alaska. The papers are now on his desk for inspection and signature. Once he has given them final approv- al construction work to allev- jate unemployment and provide much needed projects can get un- derway at once. Alaskans who regret that the funds were not released immed- jately after passage of the Na- tional Recovery’ Act so that full advantage could be taken of the short season can count the Dele- gate among them. Ever since the adjournment of Congress he has urged that argu- ment on every possible occasion. But those who think the Terri- tory has been unfairly discrim- inated against should remind themselves of these facts: 1. There have been several shifts in organization of the Public ‘Works Administration. Only re- cently was it finally decided that Secretary Ickes should take com- plete charge. Organization is not yet perfected. This has naturally acted as a brake on speedy dis- tribution of funds. 2. It appears that Alaskans will receive its preliminary allocation of funds just as soon as any oth- er political sub-division. 3. The above statement does not refer to money made available under. the Federal Highway aid plan. ‘Congress determined the amount to be spent in that man- ner and the Public Works Admin- istration is without authority to lessen the apportionment to any state. Even so, not all the states have received funds to start road building under this provision of NIRA. Alaska does not come with- in the provisions of the Federal Highway Aid Act and the fact that allocations for roads were speedily made to the States and Hawail may have created the in- correct impression that Alaska was forgotten. 4 4.

This is “unique and unusual in the handling of Land Office mat- ters,” declared Frank A. Boyle, sixth attorney to handle the case and through whom the patent was finally obtained. Four of the six lawyers retained by Hamblet died while the case was pending and these deaths caused most of the complications. Surveyed in 1900 From the records and corres- pondence, it appears that an ap- plication for the survey of the claim was made by Hamblet in 1900, at which time he employed an attorney in Seattle to look after the matter and to whom he paid the usual fee for his services, and the purchase price of the land which was erroneously deposited by the lawyer in the Washington Na- tional Bank of Seattle, instead of in the land office at Sitka. This attorney died a short time after- ward, but a receipt for the money, by the Washington "National Bank, was furnished Hamblet. The bank, however, deposited the money to the credit of the Treasury of the United States from which it could not be recovered except by a special act of Congress. Roger S. Green, another Seattle attorney, was next retained by Hamblet. In 1901 he succeeded in having the plat and field notes of the survey approved. Then he died. Denny Takes Case Mr. Hamblet then obtained the services of John B. Denny, former Juneau resident, who was at that time residing in Seattle, and he, in 1908, filed a regular application with the Land Office, submitted various proofs required, and caused a notice to be published in a news- paper at that time printed in Ket- chikan. Before publication of the notice was completed, Mr. Denny died, and was some time before the matter came to the attention of Hamblet.
