It is not often that individual resolutions can be ‘carried over into the community field, though when a large number of individuals resolve to accomplish the same purpose individually the community experiences an uplift of some sort, provided the resolutions become accomplisehd facts. But communities should start the New Year .with good resolutions, formally adopted, say, by the city council and civic organizations representative of the community. The needs of community should be budgeted somewhat along the lines of a financial budget, since the satisfaction of those . needs invariably call for financial backing Council and civic bodies cannot @f course adopt resolutions withoyt the backing of the .great majority in the community, but they are in a position of leadership and should “exercise the authority of leadership. Reasonable resolutions for community improvement rarely fail of community backing. 5 ue Witness, the final, at long last, construction of a swimming pool and municipal park. Three times the people voted for it by an overwhelming majority. It wilk:cost. money to maintain it, of course. But with reasonably competent management, it “will be worth far more than it costs in ‘the character upbuilding of the youth of Nevada City. What other needs has Nevada City>? What should be done first? For every head of a family or of a business, succeeds or fails, through the ability, or lack of it, of putting first thing first. Now of course, what follows is editorial opinion —not infallible by any means. First, then— Schools. They are ee a to any sound growth. ‘The need is imperatively first. For years this job of providing a modern building for the grammar school, fireproof, safe, sanitary—and a gymnasium—auditorium for the high school, has confronted this community. Why not get it done i in the New Year, or least on the way to being, done. Second—More municipal ownership. The city in large ‘measure owns and administers its own water supply. While ’ there i is plenty to be said about this administration—errors if you lie and a slackriess—the water ownership and administration has-paid this city big dividends. The errors have usually been those of human kirfflness and as suth should be forgiven. But the water rates do lighten the tax burden. If the city were to take over the retailing of power and light,’ with almost any kind of management, another big lift & Stes aye aos Or ++ O Mesteateats rate steateateatesteateate steateateoteateateateatestesteste seteiedeheieoietere Seegeoenennerenegoeey od NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS AND NEEDS That is, when the resolutions are made by individuals.

Y., arrived in Nevada City Thursday evening at about 8 o’clock after a disagreeable trip over the summit in a snow storm.

Mr. Peeble struck . fully three feet of snow on the Donner Pass and saw several cars stall; ed on the road near Lake Tahoe.
