r PACE TWO THE NEVADA_ CITY NUGGET MONDAY, MARCH, 6, 1933 Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street. Phone 36 Printed and PubA Legal Newspaper, as defined. by statute. lished at Nevada City. LEETE and ANDERSON ... ae ee Publishers . Published semi-weekly, Monday and Friday, at Nevada City, Cal“jfornia, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBCRIPTION RATES One. year, in Nevada County 2. ees $2.00 Outside Nevada -county, in United States.....00.000.00.... 2.59 THE HOUSING SHORTAGE People who would like to live in Nevada City, people who have business here and must have a place to live, are being driven from the city because there are no houses to be rented. They are going out into the woods and tourists camps where they rent the best they can get in the way of one or two roomed cabins at prices that are too high. Some of them go to Grass Valley where they can rent apartments and occasionally find a vacant house. There seems to be but one or two persons in Nevada City who realize the opportunity this house shortage affords them. One o fthem has built a fifteen or twenty, one and two room cabins for which he receives $10 to $15 per month on an investment of not more than $200 per cabin. Another has purchased a number of old houses, thoroughly renovated, repaired and painted them, and now receives excellent rents for them. Both these men declare they know of no other investment which pays so large a percentage of profit as this. A man who has lived in: Nevada City many years, estimates that at least 250 more people would be living in Nevada City today, if they could find house in which to live. Estimate that each person spends $1.50 for groceries, a day that should be flowing into the tills of our local merchants. As a matter of fact, of course they must receive a part of it, but if these people were living here in their own homes, the daily revenue for our local merchants would be greatly . . increased. Superficially it might appear that the people with money . to invest here, have not sufficient faith in their own city to invest it in houses and lots. We do not believe this is the . case. We think it is rather due to fact that it is difficult to see the forest because of the trees. We have lived so close to conditions as they have been for many years, that we do not see them changing before our very eyes. Hope long deferred hath made the investor’s heart so sick that he does not see that here and now there is an opportunity to invest money and receive for it an unusually large return. There never was in the past ten years such a demand for homes as Nevada City now witnesses. There never was a time in that period when building costs were cheaper and rents higher. Here is an opportunity for an investor with little or much money to greatly increase it. THE EDITORIAL CIRCUIT RIDER (A symposium of editorial comment from California newspepers ) By UNITED PRESS Anarchists and radicals must be curbed: While the attempted assisination of President-Elect Roosevelt doubtedless reflects the spirit of revolt now rampant throughout the world, many California editors believe responsibility for attacks of this type may be traced to the tolerant attitude assumed by American authorities toward. malcontents who advocate violence and direct action rather than the orderly process of the ballot. ) Declaring a determined effort is being made by red groups to create discontent that will result in revolution, the Salinas IndexJournal said: “The American people are put to test by the scandalous practice in every community in the states of permitting extreme un-American groups to do.as they will,’ said the Pasadena Star-News. #S rOUR TELEPHONE ‘It’s Daddy!” _— b eOirnnG DOES SO MLC CR SO GiiE Away from home? —Telephone!

RI AM CONNER ee > = ~ WEEKLY . “ie COMMENT . By Christian Andersen A recent despatch stated that a California oil company had sold a large eargo of gasoline to the Soviet Republic. That’s interesting to California, because it puts some more from that there is another interesting phase, which is that the gasoline Was sold’ for four cents per gallon. ‘A little mental arithmetic discloses the phenominal fact that there is a tremendous difference in the price the motorist pays and the price paid by a foreign country. Of course there must be reason. March 7, thousands of trees will be planted in California as a living memorial to Calvin Coolidge. The sentimental side of such a move is more worth while than a whole parkful of dead ~— granite monuments. Aside from this feature, living trees have commercial value as well as adding to the beauty of this already beautiful state. George Bernard Shaw, the British satirical humorist, will be in San Francisco on March 27. He will no doubt do some plain and fancy wisecracking, and. some will take him seriously while others will continue their faith in the world and in humanity. Hitler the new chancellor of Ger many is certainly caught in the ed dies and cross-rips of the nationa sea of trouble and unless he. proves to be the best navigator Germany ever had the ship of state may be foundered on the rocks of communism or some other ism equally as bad.

If some exigency has brought the budget out of balance, why rob one fund so necessary as the gas tax! fund to cover some error or other in the administering of the state government. Governor Rolph will make himself so disliked in quarters which will control a lot of votes in the next goyernatorial election, that if he runs again he find himself on the short end of the final count. I am a product of the American school system and whatever I have in the way of mental equipment was trained with practically the methods as in use today. My heart still thrills when talk’turns to schools and I can not see how we can cut anything the other hand I would be willing to from the budget of our schools.

Arthur Brisbane, the dean of American columnists has consistently tried to describe California and its advantages over the rest of the world but even as versatile a writer as he, finds himself swamped with ideas which the English language is inadequate to express. Overcome with the beauties, the climate, the mountains, the Pacific Ocean. I doubt if even the Bard of Avon could write a tome which would do California pustice. Dont forget to tell the world that NEVADA CITY IS THE GATEWAY TO THE MOUNTAIN PLAYGROUNDS. Ere you read this column our new president will have taken his place as the nations leader. If confidence can be restored with speech then our new president certainly spoke the magic words in his inaugural oration Saturday. I have listened to many powerful orators, including W. J. Bryan, but never have they so completely sold my consciousness as the talk by Franklin D. Roosevelt and most important of all he spoke with a sincere frankness which left nothing for the hearer to guess what was meant. We can i believe trust
