Lake George Waters
Recede From Road and RR
ANCHORAGE, UB—Alaska Rail
road and highway traffic north
along the Knik River returned to
normal early Saturday as flood
waters from “self-dumping” Lake
George receded.
Railroad crews finished replac
ing 60 feet of washed-out track.
Pilots flying over Lake George
reported the level of the lake high
in the Chugach mountains had
dropped back below the rim of
the ice dam. There appeared little
prospect of the lake’s over-flow
ing again until break-up time next
summer when the winter and
spring’s accumulation of snow and
ice melt again.
“Self Dumping” Lake
Raises Knik River Level,
Threatening Bridges
ANCHORAGE, (iP — Swirling
waters of the Knik River, raised
by torrents from “self dumping”
Lake George, washed out 60 feet
of Alaska Railroad tracks near
Palmer Friday and threatened sev
eral railroad and highway bridges.
A foot and a half of water cov
ered the Glenn Highway at Mile
31. Railroad crews placed jacks
under a steel span at Mile 147 and
raised it 10 inches to escape the
full force of the ice and debris.
Lake George, 50 miles from An
chorage in the Chugash Moun
tains started spilling its annual
summer overflow July 18. Chunks
of ice the size of buildings, up
rooted trees and other debris were
hurled down the mountainside and
eventually reached the Knik.
Business establishments and
home on low ground near the
river at Palmer were damaged.
One homeowner reported water
reached his kitchen windows.
