AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENTS OF EVERY CIVIC ORGANIZATION IN NEVADA CITY Dear Mr. and Mrs. President: The idea, first voiced by the Nugget, of PLANTING 200 SUGAR MAPLE TREES next Arbor Day is catching on. Much comment, all of it favorable, has come ‘to the Nugget on this plan. Think of it—instead of the occasional bright fall spots of color that attracts occasional artists and beauty lovers already— ina few years, the whole town bursting into a glorious blaze of brilliant shades of yellow and scarlet every autumn. People will come from down below, from every part of Cali. , the Sierras! fornia and even from other states—we'll become famous: as West Coast beauty spot!Everyone. who thinks about it is for it. who loves Nevada City thinks about it. And everyone At your next meeting, please discuss the matter. See how much interest in the project there is on the part of your members: If we are going to take this step toward REALLY PUTTING NEVADA CITY ON THE MAP AS ONE OF THE BEAUTY SPOTS OF CALIFORNIA, now is the time to get busy. The Gillet Sisters informs us that, THE MAPLES CAN BE SECURED: ome are on hand and available now. But in order to plant the full number, we'll have to start now, so that the trees may be available on Arbor Day. There's the idea—out on the table, the very sort of thing ot bring credit to our town and to our civic orgnization. The type of promotional activity they were created to develope. PML. Yours for a greater and more beautiful city. ao PRODUCTION! PRODUCTION! Why wouldn't is be a good idea for every factory, at the end of the day, just to divide up the day’s production—so much to each ek: so much to management, a little to the owners for making the factory possible. You wouldn't have any obsolete equipment or methods very long—owners and managers would get the finest, so that production would be greater. And you wouldn't have any slow-downs by the workmen, no loitering on the job, nor limits set on output—the workmen would want more efficient at the end of the day to divide. “‘But—that is the way workmen and managers and owners are paid. The only difference is that the company sells their production and divides up the money, to make it more convenient. The fact still remains that the only way anyone is going to gét more is to produce more. That's the only. place from which it can come.—Contributed.

Grass Valley—queen city To have a special election or not to have a special election—that 1s the question. The resignation of Jerrold Seawell to aecept his election to the Board of Equalization, has created a vacancy in this -district for a seat in the State Senate. Before a special election could be called the session of the legislature ‘would probably be over. Most county officials are opposed to a_ special election because the estimated cost inNevada County would approximate $3000. Yet should important matters come up this area would be without a vote. Many people feel that Jesse Mayo who used to be our assemblyman will look out for our interests in the senate although he represents another section. Then too if “Scoop’” Thurman is elected .o the senate, his assembly seat would be vacant and the whole machinery would have to‘be set in gear again to fill that job. What do you think?
