Resolutions of New Year or any other time are usually
formed for character building or correcting purposes.
pertain to strong drink, tobacco, or tender daliance. 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

It kept getting deeper and deeper,
the storm adding to that already on
