1962 WATER LEVEL CHANGES VARY
FROM NORMAL, ANNUAL REVIEW SHOWS
Unusual precipitation levels
resulted in variations from the
normal in the annual review of
water-level changes in Alaska,
according to Roger M. Waller
of the water resources division
of the U. S. Department of the
Interior Geological Survey.
Water level observations are
made in representative wells in
major ground-water basins as
part of the Survey’s program of
appraising Alaska’s ground
water resources, Waller said.
He added that a financially co
operative program with the
City of Anchorage involved
more extensive observations in
the Anchorage area, and that
observations by the agricultur
al experiment station in Pal
mer also provided greater cov
erage in the Matanuska Valley.
The water year in the Anch
orage area began with record
Sutton Area Tracts
To Be Auctioned
Sutton and Bonnie Lake
tracts are included in an auc
tion of lands scheduled at 1 p.m.
on Nov. 2 in the Palmer city
hall council chamber.
The lands for sale are des
cribed as one private-recrea
tional 40-acre tract near Sut
ton. NWV4SWy4 of Sec. 22,
H9N, R3E, SM, appraised value
$900; and four private-recrea
tional lots on Bonnie Lake in
Sec. 24, T20N, R6E, SM, con
taining about three and three
quarters acres each. Appraised
value for Lot No. 6 is $900; No.
7, $750; No. 8, $750; and No. 9,
$825.
Also on sale are two commer
cial-industrial lots near Sutton
in Sec. 28, T19N, R3E, SM. Lot
No. 2, approximately 18 acres in
size, is appraised at $100, and
Lot. No. 3, 25 acres, has an ap
praised value of $500.
American population north
of the Columbia was 151 in
1843. In 1853 when created a
territory census showed 3965
residents. Upon statehood in
1889, total population was 349,
390.
high levels in most wells due
to higher than norma! precipi
tation, the geologist stated.
Normal winter decline of water
levels occurred until exception
ally high rainfall in May (the
third highest on record), and
June (the wettest on record)
caused water levels to rise un
seasonably high. Deficient pre
cipitation in the normally rainy
July, August and September
period caused water levels to
not reach the level of last year’s
record highs. Deep artesian
pressure levels averaged about
one foot below last year and
shallow water-table levels av
eraged about three and one
half feet lower.
In the Matanuska Valley the
precipitation conditions were
similar to those of Anchorage
and resulted in water-table lev
els reaching new lows in two
wells, Waller said. However,
deep artesian-pressure levels
averaged one foot higher and
several wells reached new rec
ord highs. High levels probably
reflect slow recharge from pre
ceding high-precipitation years,
he concluded.
GOVERNOR ASKS
PAY BOOST STUDY
Commissioner of Adminis
tration Floyd L. Guertin said
last week he has been asked by
Governor William A. Egan to
make a study of the recently
enacted pay boost for federal
employees to determine its im
pact on the state’s effort to hire
and retain competent person
nel.
Guertin said the study will
be made in cooperation with
representatives of state em
ployee organizations.
Congress recently enacted
legislation which would raise
the pay of some 1,600,000 pos
tal and classified government
workers by an average of 10 to
11 per cent.
