GRASS VALLEY: Manager William Durbrow has rec: ommended to the board of directors of the Nevada Irrigation District that they authorize a $1,000,000 bond issue primar-}~ily for financing the completion of Scott’s Flat Dam. He recommends that $800, 000 of the bonds, if issued be sold immediately for that construction, and $200;000 be held in reserve for future needs. i y. Vv. pitable little town, we believe, has anyone ever been given a warmer and more friendly welcome than that. We are well aware that human nature being what it is, fudl-of frailfties, does not always maintain the hig level of living and let live, implied in John O*Neill’s first greeting of another newspaper man. But Yhere was many a time when in need of a . little pointer or two on the direction of current events in Nevada City that ' this writer gladly availed himself of Johnny’s help. If the values of lives are based on’ fellow men, then Johnny O’Neill served for many) their contribution to @ year at a wage far below the worth! of his services, even though, meas—J ‘ured by rule of thumb, they may have! been, as it were, the-“going wage’’. if he made enemies, in our humble opinion, they were the kind of enemes every honest mam ought to. make. IONE 8 And the friends he made tor himéelf and the newspaper he served were dnnumerable. Friends in any -busi— Mess are its chief asset, and nowhere i this more true-than in the news’ We do not recall to which politi r@al party John O'Neill gave his alteiance but we do. recall quite vividthat he was a caustic critic of Goliticians, regardless of party, who old their constituents down . the. Tiver or who, because: of _mattral 1958. He gata the revenues from the to municipalities were far less than they should be for the serevice rendered. pletion of Scott’s Mat Dam will save the district money, enable the service to be extended, and provide a safeguard for irrigation in western Nevada County against drought. The dam’s completion would eliminate the necessity of bringing water from the South Yuba River, Durbrow reported and thug avoid the hazards due to forest ires or heavy snows. Because of savings affected by the new dam, Durbrow pointed out, it will not be mecessary to greatly increase the water rates or the assessments. The N. I. D. is now punchasing water from the P. G. and E. which will not be needed when the dam ig put into service. This. saving the said, plus power deductions, ‘would. amount to. $33,000 a year, tbased on the average payments made on the past four years, which aver— aged $32,881.81. Durbrow ‘states that reventies from sale of domestic water show a steady and healthy growth, and with biuilding now in progress and with new subdivisiong being laid out, there will be cénsiderable increase next year im the demand for service. He indicates that after the contracts with Nevada City and Grass Valley: expire there should be a considerable imicrease in rates.
