The Yap district office takes over administration of Saipan.

What happened

Germany had run Saipan as a separate district since 1899. From April 1906 the Yap district office took over its administration, and a 1907 decree made Saipan a branch station under Yap. These details come from a Wikipedia mirror and from Habele.
