Sec.  2094.1  Methods of measuring; restrictions.



    (a) In the consideration of applications to enter lands shown upon 

plats of public surveys in Alaska, as abutting upon navigable waters, 

the restriction as to length of claims shall be determined as follows: 

The length of the water front of a subdivision will be considered as 

represented by the longest straight-line distance between the shore 

corners of the tract, measured along lines parallel to the boundaries of 

the subdivision; and the sum of the distances of each subdivision of the 

application abutting on the water, so determined, shall be considered as 

the total shore length of the application. Where, so measured, the 

excess of shore length is greater than the deficiency would be if an end 

tract or tracts were eliminated, such tract or tracts shall be excluded, 

otherwise the application may be allowed if in other respects proper.

    (b) The same method of measuring shore space will be used in the 

case of special surveys, where legal subdivisions of the public lands 

are not involved.

    (c) The following sketch shows the method of measuring the length of 

shore space, the length of line A or line B, whichever is the longer, 

representing the length of shore space which is chargeable to the tract:
