Salt Used To Melt Ice
Around House Damages
Trees In Spring

When the driveways in a new
home development were built,
layer Of salt calcium chloride) was
placed just beneath the gravel sur
face. The purpose was to keep the
drives free of weeds and grass.
The salt did that, all right. 1t
did something else, too. The fol-
lowing spring the nearby trees be-
gan to look sick. Newly formed
leaves turned reddish brown
around their margins and began to
drop. Twig dieback appeared later.
Called in to diagnose the trouble,
DR.. Philip L. Rusden, PathOlOgist
of the Bartlett. Tree Research Lab
Oratories, found that the salt had
washed out Of the driveways and
seeped into the soil. 1t was taken
up by the roots and caused the in
jury
Early one spring, a home owner
shOveled up a rather considerable
amount of sand and loan that had
washed into a heap in the road in
front of his house. He used the
soil to fill in low places on his
lawn. A few months later, two
| priced abOrvitae Drowned and went
into decline. The owner wondered
why.
He had forgotten that highway
/ authorities had sprinkled salt on
the hilly road the winter before.
I The salt had washed down with
4 the sand and loan and the home
/ owner unwittingly had spread it
on his lawn. It had seeped deep
to the tree roots and was now
causing trouble.
The use Of salt calcium or sOdi-
I Um-chloride) on walks, drives, and
Il roads to melt winter ice is fire.
n Quently injurious to nearby trees
and shrubs. Grass is seldom affect
/ ed because rains leach the salt
into the lower layers of the soil
Naples, dOgwOods, beeches, and
n other shallOW-rOOted trees are first
affected. Trees with deeper roots
are just as likely to be injured as
the salt seeps further into the soil
Telltale signs of Drowned leaves
and retarded growth result, but
too often these are mistaken fol
something else.
Best way to avoid salt injury is
to use sand and/or ashes on icy
walks and driveways If salt has
been used inadvertently near The
house, flush the soil thoroughly
around foundation paintings anC
feed the shrubs in very early
spring

 Alaska Legislation
 Delegate Bartlett introduced two bills this week, one having to do with the cost-of-living all lowances paid federal employees in Alaska and other places out side the continental United States and the second authorizing con veyance of title to certain lots in Sitka.
 Under terms of the Indepen- dent Offices Appropriation Act of 1949, as amended, cost-of-living allowances were authorized for federal employees working out side the continental United States, such as Hawaii and Alaska. The ceiling was placed at 25 percent above cost-of-iving in the Dis trict of Columbia. As a result, Al aSka federal employees have been receiving a 25 percent differential

Hearings on Set Nef Legislation
 Hearings on legislation design ed to clarify the status of set nets in Alaska waters will be held the morning of February 8 by sub- committee of the Senate Inter state and Foreign Commerce Committee with Delegate Bartlett as the first witness, according to an announcement made this week by Senator Magnuson of Washing ton, chairman of the full commit tee.
 The measure, a companion bill to one introduced in the House by Delegate Bartlett, would except set nets, stake nets and anchored gill nets from the minimum re- quirement in the law stipulating a distance of 1900 feet between fixed gear In the past the Fish and WndIife Service, not con- sidering set nets as fixed applian- ces, has issued regulations setting the distance between set nets at various lengths, such as 500 feet in the Cook Inlet area. However, last year, Judge Folta stated his belief that set nets are fixed gear, and the Fish and Wildlife Service proposed that set nets, therefore, in the 1855 fishing regulations would have to be 1900 feet apart. In issuing its regulations last week, however, the agency stated that no changes regarding set nets in Alaska waters were included pending congressional action on legislation introduced by Senator Magnuson and Delegate Bartlett which would allow their classi- fication as movable gear.
 The hearing will be held by the Subcommittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries of the full Senate committee.
 Bills Introduced by Delegate
 Bartlett
 Two bills were introduced in the House this week by Delegate Bartlett, ore relating to Alaska Railroad leases and the other re- garding taxes paid by federal en- ployees in 1949 on living allowances.
