cb PSO oe Ce ees 2 popes egy ag ¥ ft wv Department of Parks & Recreation SACRAMENTO--Endorsement of a $470,000 sewer bond election in Mendocino City and a pledge to pay fair participating costs were made today by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The measure will be voted on April 1s Director William Fenn Mott, Jr., said that the proposed treatment plant would be located on a part of Mendocino Headlands State Park and that in addition to providing sewer facilities for residents of the community, both Russian Gulch and Mendocino Headlands State Parks could be serviced. All are in Mendocino County. "We are very much in favor of this bond issue," Mott said. He explained that the State Park Department would participate in the cost of the development with legislative approval of the funds, and that the Department would assist by setting aside approximately three acres of land for the treatment plant. The project will include a sewage collection system, treatment plant, and outfall sewer and will cost an estimated $1,200,000. Local bond funds would provide $470,000 of the cost and grants from the State and Federal governments would make up the balance. "My Department will pay its fair share for sewer services the bond issue would make available to park units," Mott pledged. "We have similar arrangements in many park units throughout the State." Mott expressed hope that residents of Mendocino City would approve the bond issue (a two-thirds yes vote is needed for passage) and thus provide funding for sewage facilities that are sorely needed by the city and the parks in the area. Environmentally, and economically, the area will in the long run benefit a great deal more than the estimated expenditure, Mott concluded. Donald Wimer is inheritance tax appraiser SACRAMENTO -State Controller Houston I, Flournoy today appointed Donald E. Wimer of Cedar Ridge to serve as State Inheritance Tax Referec for Nevada County until June 30, 1975. He also will serve as interim referee for Sierra County where there are no qualified applicants for the position. Flournoy said Wimer was appointed from the list of qualified candidates established in Nevada County through examinations administered by the State Personnel Board. Until his appointment, the county was served on an interim basis by Asa M. Clark, Jr., an inheritance tax referee in Sacramento County. Wimer, 37, is an appraiser and real estate salesman in Grass Valley and has lived in Nevada County over eight years. He is a graduate of Charleston High School in his native West Virginia, and has lived in California since 1955 following discharge from the U.S, Marine Corps in which he served during the Korean conflict. He attended El Camino Junior College in Torrance, and trained at the Anthony Real Estate School in Sacramento. Under the 1970 law, inheritance tax referees are compensated according to a statutory fee schedule -based on the value of the estates they appraise, but exempting bank and savings and loan accounts and other cash type assets from fee appraisal by referees. The law also prohibits campaign contributions to the state controller by inheritance tax referees, and limits their contributions to other candidates. Seven persons took the exam including Larry Martin and Jim Bunnell of Grass Valley who passed the exam.
