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 have no recommendation to make but merely suggest that there are at least a half dozen _sites in and made available. The only proper role . the chamber can play in this project, is to back up the veterans organizations when they decide on what they want. 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.

Grass Valley, ‘which not . need for a ‘considerable area _ for only fills the requirements of war veterans but provides a wide margia of use as a community center. all, in this era of total wars, all citizens who survive are, in a_ sense veterans. Mothers who gave up their sons. to war service and fathers who help. weld war weapons, played important roles in the war effort evea though not in uniform. 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 think that whatever plan the weterans present, they should give consideration to such things as ample parking space,. noting that back of , on gala nights, the streets for sevLeral blocks must be used for parking This would committee in charge headed by Miss Rachel Morgan and assisted by Miss Annie Clemo, Racine Murchie?

We have no recommendation to make but merely suggest that there are at least a half dozen _sites in and made available. The only proper role . the chamber can play in this project, is to back up the veterans organizations when they decide on what they want. 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. It would seem opportune, with hundreds of war veterans returning to the county, that in Nevada City a building should be monies. Miss Harry was accompanist for the little singers and choir.
