As
Occasionally one hears the complaint that the streets are being
neglected in order that we may have
a beautiful park, or that something
else in municipal housekeeping suffers from lack of attention, while
the park moves forward. We have
little sympathy with these plaints.
As a matter of fact the municipal
pool will greatly benefit most of the
children in this community. It has
neen coming to them for ten years.
It was long overdue when it was
finally built. We submit ‘that, if it
really came to a choice, healthful
development, healthful recreation for
the youth of Nevada City is more
important than the city’s streets.
But we are not obliged to make that
choice. The streets will be cared for
in due time.
