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,

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

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.”
