The <br />usual summer thunderstorms occurred in isolated <br />areas and resulted in some flooding, nothing <br />very serious, this past summer. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Our scheduled installation of new gaging <br />stations has been completed except for one <br />on the Arkansas River near Avondale which has <br />been delayed somewhat pending approval of the <br />landowner. <br /> <br />I have here a tabulation of gaging sta- <br />tions that were established during the summer <br />and also those that were discontinued. There <br />were a group of six stations established in <br />cooperation with the Denver Water Board in <br />Gore Creek basin: Dickson Creek, Freeman <br />Creek, East Meadow, Wearyman, Booth Creek, <br />and Middle Creek.

The one on <br />the Arkansas River near Avondale will be put <br />in.
