The County Gene Paper_ NEVADA CITY: CALIFORNIA The Gold Center THINKING OUT LOUD By H. M. L. A week ago in this column an outline of the three immediate goals of the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce was outlined, and the desirability of all citizens backing the chamber in its endeavor was urged. ‘The objectives are (1) to aid the Tahoe National Forest staff to find suitable acreage for a new headquarters here, (2) to improve the INevada City Airport facilities to meet the Civil Aeronautics Adminisstration standards and (3) to aid the Veterans of Foreign Wars to obtain a Veterans Memorial Building for Nevada City. The chamber has been for some months past maki a survey of available acreages in this vicinity that would meet the requirements of the forest service for headquarters, Some fifty miles Pacific railroad crosses the national forest. The past five years the Southern Pacific Company has worked on a cooperative. plan with the U. S.

Excellent results have been obtained as a result of this work. This years plans were discussed to increase the amount of work to .

(City Engineer Edw. C. Uren states that the lot measures 70x100 feet with an entrance on Union Street, and should accommodate about 20 cars. He says that it is handy to the business district and should be very much appreciated by car owners, since Broad Street is much congested usually during business hours.

Taylor Who won, in the great steel strike? Who lost? The strikers with the prestige and power of the government behind them won their fight for a big pay boost. So they came out ahead—apparently, Then steel manufacturers proved to the government, that they couldn’t pay the wage increase with out increasing the price of steel. Se the government pegged up steel price ceilings. — The plain fact of the matter . is, therefore that everybody in America lost in that steel strike. The farmer, the professional man, the’ white collar worker—all workers of the steel industry, union and non-union—lost by that strike. The rest of us take a cut in income to make possible the goremet which probably satisfies the most. important conditions.

There is $12,000 in the city treasury but it is . sently in the city treasury, but it is claimed that the increase in city employes at increased salaries and wages, and other contingencies, make it imperative to keep this sum jin the bank. letter to Ray Kronemeyer, executive manager of the Grass ValJey Chamber of Commerce, Clair gle, representative of this district,/ in congress, writes: “In further reference to our vious communications regarding «en airport in the Grass Valley-Nevada City area: I have received an inform‘al report from the C.

The sheriff declared that if this were done he believed it possible to} inaugurate a rodeo feature’ that would grow into a spectacular part} of the annual fair. He stated that! many of the ranchers in the western section of the county who own and often breed fine saddle horses, would have an opportunity to display their riding stock.

Since the cost of a veterans memorial comes out of the pockets of all of us, we feel that after meeting the requirements of veterans “organizations the building should serve the rest of the’ community.

We understand that the way is now open for the‘ erection of a veterans building for Nevada City. Both Truckee and Grass Valley now have their veterans buildings and they have been paid for.
