Weather Delays
Patrolman; Causes
Some Local Damage
Patrolman Carl Schlichtig of
the territorial police had an un
expected over-night stay on the
Glenn highway early this week
when a snow slide, which block
ed the road at Mile 101 prevented
fcis return to Palmer.
Enroute to Sheep Mountain on
regular patrol, he was delayed
by a slide which was being clear
ed by the Bureau of Public Roads
crew. Only a short time later,
on his return trip, he was again
stopped by a slide at Mile 101.
This time he had a lengthy stay
before BPR could clear the road.
Unable to get through to Palmer
via his radio, Schlichtig made
contact with the Anchorage office
which in turn relayed his mes
sage to Palmer office, notifying
them of his location. He return
ed about 9:30 the following morn
ing

in the valley area from the snow,
winds ,and rains that hit the
area early this week In the Wasi

electrical outages were experien
ced caused by the heavy snow
on the lines. Palmer fluctuations
were noted during Monday even
ing. These were caused by troub
les in the Anchorage area which
in turn were believed caused by
fbe weather conditions.
