The oil industry, “the state’s

formational meetings in New
York and Chicago, July 19-20.
"The State ended its fiscal
year June 30 with an appreci
able surplus by virtue of leas

The per capita tax burden on
our citizens thus is not exces

gress, Alaska is entitled to se
lect approximately 105.000,000
acres of its land area. This is in
addition to millions of acres of
tide and submerged lands, in
cluding bottoms of inland nav
igable waters which also passed
to the State. These grants com
prise about one-third the total
area of Alaska.
“On May 23, the State of
fered 57,000 acres of potential
oil land for competitive lease
bidding. Ten successful appli
cants, representing major oil
companies, offered bonus bids
totaling more than $7,000,000
for the 57,000 acres of land of
fered. Bonus bids received
from leasing of this acreage al
most equal the amount paid for
all of Alaska when purchased
from Russia in 1887 for $7,200,
000.
Total crude oil produced in
Swanson River field has in
creased from 191,000 in Janu
ary this year to 456,000 barrels
in May. During June, daily
production increased to 19,500
barrels per day or triple the
production of January 1961.
