Alaska Economy Report
To Congress Mentions
Much Peninsula Growth
Growth and activity on the Ke
nai Peninsula, as well as for the
State as a whole, were mention
ed frequently by Congressman
Ralph J. Rivers in his report on
Alaska’s expanding economy giv
en recently before the U. S.
House of Representatives.
“Alaska’s growth continues to
be a matter of widespread inter
est, especially in view of the re
cent controversial television show
by David Brinkley which left er
roneous impressions that Alaska’s
economy is lagging-,” Rivers said.
“The facts, as disclosed by a re
port of the National Bank of Al
aska of Anchorage, show vigor
and growth.” Excerpts from the
report were included in River’s
address.
New highs in petroieum and na
tural gas production and activity
were reached in the State in 1962,
Rvers remarked, almost all of
it on the Kenai Peninsula. Esti
mated expenditures by the pe
troleum industry during the past
year for exploration, production,
and the construction of a refinery
on the Kenai Peninsula was $60.5
million.
Twentyrseven exploratory wells
and nine development wells were
drilled. As the year ended, there
were 50 producing oil wells and
six producing gas wells in the
State.
Authorization of Bradley Lake
on the Kenai Peninsula as a hy
droelectric project was accomp
lished and construction of small
boat harbors were highlights of
the year’s program and included
th.e harbors at Homer and Sel
.dovia.
The past year also marked the
second consecutive year of more
than $1 million of construction in
Soldotna, Rivers told Congress.
“Population of this community's
trade area is now estimated at
4,000 persons,” he added.

Homer’s economy was bolstered
by a good fishing season. Two
new oil wells were started within
14 miles of the community. Work
on portions of the Sterling High
way leading to Homer continued
preliminary to paving.
Power generation and trans
mission in the Cook Inlet area
took great strides during the past
year. Completion of Chugach El
ectric Association’s transmission
line from Cooper Lake made ad
ditional power available to the
Creater Anchorage area. Cooper
Lake generates 15,000 kilowatts.
Rivers also told the House that
CEA is in process of constructing
a million oil fired generating
plant of 10,000 kilowatt capacity
north of Kenai and that the tur
bine generator is scheduled to go
into operation before the summer
of 196.1
