Five Dollar Fine For Man Who Dumped Rubbish In Tahoe Area The drive made by. District Ranger H. I. Snider and his assistants to stop rubbish dumping in the Lake Tahoe and Truckee area of the Tahoe National Forest culminated in a payment of a fine of five dollars by Elmer Rouse before Justice of the Peace C. E. Smith at Truckee last week. Snider states he apprehended Rouse dumping rubbish and garbage in an old dumping ground and asked him to contact the regular garbage collector at Truckee and arrange with him to dump material at the regular dumpgrounds where only a nominal charge is made for such collection or dumping, but Rouse rehauled the material to some other place after dark which ired the ranger, Employed At Azelia’s— Ferne EHickhoff is at present employed by Azelia Burns at her beauty parlor on Commercial Street. Unusual Weather Continues— The present year has been marked by unusual weather and it still continues, Nevada ‘City experienced a short thunderstorm and a theat of rain during the night. . sored by Assemblyman THINKING QUT LOUD (Continued from VPage One) tion to carry on construction work on the Nevada County end of this road. As the budget appropriation had been exhausted, the Highway Commission granted ‘the
amount of $49,000. Recognizing its imvortance, the commission included $100.000 in the current biennium for continuance of this work and made an additional appropriation of $36,500 for work across Goodyear Creek. If there is any credit due Mr. See, it must have been these two last appropriations, but I am sure’ Mr. Purcell— ‘the highway engineer, will verify the statements that I am making, for his office has furnished this information?” and it was Mr. Purcell who appeared before the commission for me in seeking. the $40,000 appropriation to which I have just referred. In addition to ‘those appropriations, there has been appropriated for-additional construction work in Sierra County $79,530 ‘between the years 1932-41 and $276,141 for additional maintenance costs on these roads, making a total of $355,761. Combining these figures with ‘the money expended on the Nevada City-Downieville Highway will make a total of $1,268,144 expended in Sierra County road projects; ‘plus the . $136,500 dppropriated for the:1941-43 budget or a grand total°of ‘$1,404,644. It is most amusing and rather interesting to learn that a man practically unknown ‘to the county is responsible for alll of this money and road improvements, and it is somewhat disheartening, I am sure, to ‘the legislative representatives of this district to learn that their efforts were of no avail and that a railway* labor” lobbyist is the man to be credited with this great achievement. I personally do not desire to assume any credit as I feel it is my public obligation to cooperate in every respect, but I am deeply grateful for. the fine support I have received from the various booster organizations in Nevada and Sierra Counties and the help and advice they have given me in my efforts 'to fulfill my obligation as a public official: The-boards. of supervisors, city councils, the county and local city chambers of commerce, and the local service clubs have been most helpful. If there is any credit due for any improvements that have been made upon any of the roads in my district, it is due to the untiring and unselfish efforts of ‘these organizations and many individuals in these counties who have interested themselves in their county highway welfare. I bring these facts to you that the people may know the true circumstances surrounding road funds in this district, and irrespective of any good intentions Editor Cassidy might have had in publishing an editorial for his friend, Mr. See, the facts do not bear out his statement The statements I have made herein have been taken from a letter addressed to me and signed by Mr. George T. McCoy, Assistant State Highway Engineer, dated July 31, 1941, and accompanied by an itemized account of these expenditures year by year as I have quoted them to you. After reading this editorial and a telegram published in the Mountain Messenger, signed by Harry See, advising the people of that community that the governor lad signed the appropriation bill sponGunlock and myself for, flood damages occurring during the Downieville flood, I took the matter up with the private secretary of Gévernor Olson, sending him a copy of the Mountain ‘Messenger, and endeavoring to learn just how Mr. See could act in the capacity in which he was,operating. I/quote to you an excerpt from a letter dated July 28, 1941, addressed to me, and signed by Mr. Frank C. Sullivan, private secretary to the Govenor, in which he says: “The only thing I can tell. you is that we cannot be responsible for the activities of individuals who have no official connection with the office; in other words, this office had no knowledge that Mr. See got the information— which is public in nature — and transmitted it to Mr. Cassidy.’ If ‘Mr. See was solely responsible for the appropriations mentioned in the Auburn Journal editorial, ‘ he evidently ought to advise the governor’s office to this effect for you can note the above quotation that they are sadly in the dark regarding Mr, See’s influence, or he is usurping credit that rightfully belongs to somedne else in order 4 The wage boost i C'TY TO SEEK HIGHER WAGES Among the important business to be considered by the’ city council at) meeting tonight will be the request of city street employees for an, its increase in wages. view of increased esmen for the city employees es in wages have been given to city employees in other municipalities. Mayor Ben Hall will preside over the council sesion tonight. Ralph Deeble Vacationing— While there is no superior court, Ralph Deeble, deputy county clerk, will take his vacation. Deeble’s vacation started today. to feather his own nest in the eyes of the people of Sierra and Nevada Counties. This is why I said in this opening statement that the whole situation is most amusing to me. Trusting this brings: the true Picture to you, I beg to remain: requested in the, iving costs. Spok-' will point out to the council that increas-. Night Hunters (Continued from Page One) a .32 special Winchester rifle with ;me for the purpose of killing a deer. . About one quarter of a mile from the . North Bloomfield road I observed a . deer, and jumped from the automo, bile and fired one shot from the rifle at the deer. At the report of the rifle I heard a man’s voice exlaim: ‘‘Hey! for Christ’s sake!’’ I called to Riley 'who was in the automobile, that a man had shouted, and we had better go see what had happened. Riley got out of the automobile and we started down toward where we heard the man’s voice. We saw a flashlight beam and I told Riley that apparently everything was all right, and we had better get out of there, because if any body had fired a shot close to me I would be.throwing lead in the direction that the shot came from. We left the Scene of this shooting about 9 p. m. and returned to dbur camp at Gold Canyon.” MARRIAGE DECLARATIONS BANKUS-PHELAN — In Nevada City, August 5, 1941, by Lee’ Roy Bankus, 24, and Clara Angela Plhelan, 21, both of Grass Valley.
