The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Center FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1936 BUDGET LARGER: The preliminary budget.of Nevada county for expendable appropriations, as it stood on August 2, exceeded the estimated expenditures of last year by $74,386, or about 26 per cent, according to California Taxpayers’ association’s study of the preliminary budget. Because of larger subventions from state and federal sources, together with cash balances carried over from last year, it: appears the tax levy will be 10 cents less in 1936-37 than it was in 1935-36, the Taxpayers’ association stated. Increases are general in all departments, the association pointed out, stating that increased allowances for old age aid and for roads and bridges will not greatly affect the local tax rate, being mostly offset by state and federal grants. Proposed expenditures by major purposes of expedniture for 193637 and estimated expenditures of last year are shown as follows: Budget Estimated Estimate 1935-36 1936-37 Salaries wages $ 97,723 $108,195 Maintenance and TAX RATELOWER NEVADA COUNTY PEARS orchards are being trucked to the packing plants at Grass Valley, Chicago Park and Colfax: County Horticultural Commissioner L.

And California farmers, with new confidence and new hopes for the future, will pack the big exposition with the. material evidence of agriculture’s bid for rehabilitation and a sound, profitable industry. Nearly $2,000,000 worth of prize livestock, the finest and most comprehensive livestock: exhibit in the history of the exposition, will be disPlayed at the 1936 fair, according to Fred H. Bixby of Long Beach, livestock chairman of the big show.

These two incidents of motorists failing to heed an appeal for help, or rather failing to understand such an appeal, constitute a matter for serious concern. Very few motorists, nowadays will stop to give a total stranger a ride. In numberless instances this kind of generosity has led to murder, robbery or a crash.

Those who signal for a stop should be carefully scrutinized, to see whether or not they are asking help or just a ride. : The Governor was the guest at a reception in Downieville, Saturday night. Sunday he proceeded to Loy‘alton where he addressed an audience of some 1800 gathered there for.a pienic. He talked about what he wa going to do in the way of improving the roads in Sierra county. He oozed good-will and applesauce. He said nothing about starting work on a given piece of bad road at any given date. His address so far as any definite promise ior concrete proposal was concerned was as barren as a desert. Fortunately he said nothing that anyone is called upon to. believe. We know that votes in th mountains are scarce. We _ know that where the vote treasure , there is the politician’s heart. If e get any road improvements from the state, it will, be because of the eountless thousands in the city below are clamoring to have them ‘built so that they may use them.
