acres, located in norther Sierra

property, a deal recently being consumated. :

to the extent of 109 acres or more,
which will afford much virgin

Congressman Englebright leaves}. f
Wednesday or Thursday of this
week for the arduous duties attend-. ¢t
ing upon the second session of the. t
72 session of Congress. He goes
back with added obligations upon
him through the results of the
last election. He will be first assistant to the Republican Whip of the
House, Congressman Snell. In addition he will be spokesman for all
the Western States in all matters
pertaining to mining matters as he
is now ranking Republican on the
mines and mining committee and
the same is true on matters concerning public lands. These are also a
result of the recent eletcion which
swept the Democrats into control.
Englebright is 29th in rank among
the Republicans now, and is one of
the most powerful ‘Republicans left
in the House.
The first thing to confront Congress will be the passage of the
measure providing for the manufacture and sale of 2.75 per cent beer
under state control. . Englebright
believes that this will come before
the House dn the opening day and
he predicts its passage by a large
majority. An effort will be made
by the California representatives to
include in the Dill an ammendment for the manufacture and sale
of light wines to protect the states
$350,000,000 grape industry which
is the second largest. agriculture oe
dustry in the state.
Due to the fact that the Federal
Government as of July 1, 1933 will
have a deficit of $2,000,000,000 the
passage of the Beer Bill at this time
is of great interest as it will provide for $500,000,000 in taxes and
be a corresponding relief to the tax
payer. If Congress should include
the sale of light wines an addi. tional $250,000,000 will be derived
from the wine tax and further reduce the serious problem which conaction will be taken on a tax bill unof the pioneers in the House in advocating legalizing the sale of light

nations of Burope were largely political debts. The debts which the
nations of Europe owe to the United
States represents cold cash loaned to
them by the people of this country.
The American tax payer must not
have any burden of these debts placed upon their shoulders. If this
money isnot paid by Europe the
amount will have to be made up by
the tax payers of this country. It is
the opinion of Congressman Englebright that Congress will refuse to
grant any extension of time’or reduction of the amount due December 15th. ;

The work was done by the contracting firm of Kelliher, and Figurski, Nevada City, under the direction of Herb Hallett, city employe.
Two shifts were used to speed up

A cement’ drive was also put in
