How’ ridiculous it would be, with the money available and ey erything looking so prosperous as it does now. to vote away this money to some other purpose. 1933 Nevada City ‘had and for a long time maintained an auto camp for its visitors. Money for its upkeep was derived from a masked ball once each year. The camp was maintained for five years. The committee in charge netted anywhere fram $367 to $390 each year from this event. This park gave ‘Nevada City more publicity than anything else. It visitors the first year numbered 750, and each year increased until the peak of 3,000 visitors was reached. It has been proven that each visitor Spends on an‘average of one dollar a day in this city. After five years the committee, having worked faithfully” without pay, resigned. The boost body took no interest in it, and the auto camp allowed to go to rack and ruin. If the people were able to maintain the auto five camp: for years, it its visitors seems almost certain that a live committee would be able to raise a sufficient sum year to pay the expenses of their own Swimming pool for the benefit of themselves and their children, If on the other hand it were neeessary to levy a small tax cents on the hundred, valuation of mnloney would raised /to maintain the pool three to’ three and a half months and nobody hurt. The great bugaboo raised by those opposed to the. pool is taxes. Let’s havé some figures.

I am one of the latgest individual tax payers in his city. To me this 5 cent tax; would make the enormous increase of\$3. 85 a year, As extra licensed are to be collected this year; with a decided increase in new building an resultant increase in taxable prope ‘ty, it is quite likely that taxes will be keduced anyway, so that 5 cents added to the to her, general tax rate, the total tax may not necessarily be higher han it was last year. \ Go to the polls and voile no Make your city up to date.’ Don be a knocker.

DO ‘NOT WEAR OUT WILL OF PEOPLE Nevada: City, May 11, .1933 Editor, Nevada City Nugget, Dear Sir:—-The proposed ordinance No. 215 which is to be voted on May 15th, contains in its opening Section No. 1; the following statement: ‘‘The City Council deem the expenditure of $10,000 * * * *\* * voted and authorized * * * * * *>* impracticable and unwise.’’ That statement may not be surprising to any one. ‘ As an opinion it is perfectly legitimate. But the fact that a City Council fails to comply with a verdict of the people is certainly astounding. ‘‘Government of the people by the people * * * * willperish from the-earth” if such proceedure is not checked and decisively rebuked. Before I make any further comment I want it perfectly understood that I have singled out each member of the Board and carefully made estimate of him in earnest thought, and they all weigh full measure in character, in citizenship, and in my private, personal friendship. Let no one presume that I mean reflection on them. And that I would permit slight and well meant deviation from théir specified and legitimate linés of duty to cause me to damage the splendid and weil-earned standing/of the fire department would, be equally preposterous. We do adequate most vwater to combat apprehend, or. otherwise, certainly system the menace either with want an with whith of fire. If we good reason that the water mains are in a precarious condition we arewithin our province in making an urgent appeal for careful special attention to. the water system. But I think that is going far enough as a fire department, if we are to retain our individuality as a fire department. IT am fearful of the Wisdom of. pos% as an institution to be reckoned . with in other concerns of the city, aa inost particularly those of a po. litical or controversial nature, if we wish to keep that valued confidence of the people. And in this. case I am not in favor of the fire department, except as individual citizens, attempting to dictate or influence the manner of getting the money. other than to donate their services or, better yet, money from their own: funds. They have $1,000.00 on hand which is pledged for equipment. The present state of affairs is deplorable. It came upon us insideously. First a desire to avoid criticism or a wish to please everybody resulted in provoking strife and arousing controversies which have at last become tinged with animosities, with acrimony, with recrimination, and with ridicule. By continued postponements and repeated resubmittals the will of the people can in ‘any and every case be thwarted ‘knowingly and intentionally, or unwisely and dangerously. We are learning by experience.

DO ‘NOT WEAR OUT WILL OF PEOPLE Nevada: City, May 11, .1933 Editor, Nevada City Nugget, Dear Sir:—-The proposed ordinance No. 215 which is to be voted on May 15th, contains in its opening Section No. 1; the following statement: ‘‘The City Council deem the expenditure of $10,000 * * * *\* * voted and authorized * * * * * *>* impracticable and unwise.’’ That statement may not be surprising to any one. ‘ As an opinion it is perfectly legitimate. But the fact that a City Council fails to comply with a verdict of the people is certainly astounding. ‘‘Government of the people by the people * * * * willperish from the-earth” if such proceedure is not checked and decisively rebuked. Before I make any further comment I want it perfectly understood that I have singled out each member of the Board and carefully made estimate of him in earnest thought, and they all weigh full measure in character, in citizenship, and in my private, personal friendship. Let no one presume that I mean reflection on them. And that I would permit slight and well meant deviation from théir specified and legitimate linés of duty to cause me to damage the splendid and weil-earned standing/of the fire department would, be equally preposterous. We do adequate most vwater to combat apprehend, or. otherwise, certainly system the menace either with want an with whith of fire. If we good reason that the water mains are in a precarious condition we arewithin our province in making an urgent appeal for careful special attention to. the water system. But I think that is going far enough as a fire department, if we are to retain our individuality as a fire department. IT am fearful of the Wisdom of. pos% as an institution to be reckoned . with in other concerns of the city, aa inost particularly those of a po. litical or controversial nature, if we wish to keep that valued confidence of the people. And in this. case I am not in favor of the fire department, except as individual citizens, attempting to dictate or influence the manner of getting the money. other than to donate their services or, better yet, money from their own: funds. They have $1,000.00 on hand which is pledged for equipment. The present state of affairs is deplorable. It came upon us insideously. First a desire to avoid criticism or a wish to please everybody resulted in provoking strife and arousing controversies which have at last become tinged with animosities, with acrimony, with recrimination, and with ridicule. By continued postponements and repeated resubmittals the will of the people can in ‘any and every case be thwarted ‘knowingly and intentionally, or unwisely and dangerously. We are learning by experience. The remedy does not lie in the selection of a new Board which (Continued on Page Five) POLICE CHIEF NABI INCAPACITATED bait Chief of Police Robson yeste arrested Charles McClelland, a mii recently arrived from New . whom he states was too intoxie to steer his obile Man was ‘a an his car was lodged in the city pri Little Bobby ¢ whos accideuialiy ht ul eo ay, 29 uN
