While Thave held only one political position, Ihave always kept informed of the affairs of the city and county. Of course I believe in good efficient government. If elected, I'll do all in my power to secure a good, clean, sufficient water supply. I think at this time it is the most important project. WhileI don't think it can be done immediately, but we should start and do all we can as fast as possible. Ihave no fault to find with the present council, but as long as there is an opening I think I can be of service to my city. Wehave anew manager who isa good friend of mine and working together wecan improve all conditions in the city. Bob Smith In Recording Of Comedy AUBURN ----Yonah.

First, I believethat I can do the city aservice. Secondly, Ihave used and enjoyed the facilities of this community for a good number of years and it seems natural to wish to help steer its course now that Ihave reached a maturity where [hope I can be of tome benefit. My background as a person includes seven years in the Marine Corps during World War II and Korea. My education has progressed as far as three yearsofcollege. lam martried and have two boys attending the local elementary school. I worked as a police officer in the City of Nevada for over four years, during which time I became close tothe problems facing the city. Since that period some of these problems have been solved, but generally most are of a type that is always with us. Our foremost and most critical problem is that of our water supply and its delivery tothehomes. Ihave studied the engineer's survey that was prepared for the city a year or so ago. I find it to be most enlightening. Most eye-opening of its contents was the fact that Nevada City uses three times as much water per person per day as similar unmetered cities: e.g., Yuba City: 250 gals. perday. Nevada City 700 gals. per day. Much of this waste must be result of old and leaky services. We must put our mains in good working order. Eliminate such things as 4" pipes reducing to 2" pipes and then out to 4" again. I would like to see a thru bus from Marysville toReno, via Nevada City. Negotiations could be started with the Greyhound people. Perhaps this would not reach fulfillment until the freeways (principally the Pet Hill unit) are completed, but it would seem that such &@ routing would be mutually beneficial to both Greyhound and this area. it could also lead to another feeder run from Auburn. Nevada City could well use a truly locat ambulance service. It is possible the council might find a way of inducing such an endeavor. As I discussed in other sources, Nevada City recipients of unemployment warrants would like the privilege of cashing said warrants in their own community. I had a meeting with Mr. Paul Paye and as a result this is about to be realized. Soon unemployment warrants will be redeemable at the Nev-ada City Bank. My thanks to Mr. Paye for his assistance in this matter. Win, lose or draw, I am proud and happy to be a Nevada Cityian.

By doing thisI feel I will be better equipped to serve you. WATER SYSTEMS: You are concerned about the condition ofthe City Water System and rightly so. Our-present system is rapidly becoming inadequate. Water pressure in many areas falls far short of actual needs. I strongly advocate a thorough study and effective action to obtain corrections for the immediate and future benefit of the citizens of Nevada City. CIVIC PRIDE: "A cleaner more attractive town is what I'd like to. see! This is what many ofsyou have told me. Cleaner streets, prompt*repairs to sidewalks and blacktop, and w aste disposal receptacles in the downtown area are a few ways toward creating a more beautiful Nevada City. Asa City Councilman I will work for and with all groups and individuals to help make Nevada City a more attractive town in which to live, visit and shop. PARKING; There is a growing concern about the downtown parking situation. With the building of the Malakoff Diggins State Park and the development ofthe surrounding land, Nevada City will become the gateway to a huge new recreation area. The Division of Beaches and Parks estimates 150,000 people will pass through Nevada City the very first year. This figure is in addition tothe regular summer traffic. From then on the estimate jumps to over half a million! Willwe beready? I propose careful, farsighted planning and positive, intelligent action to make Nevada City an outstanding example of a well planned and efficiently run community. T hese are but three of the many thingsI feel are necessary to keep Nevada City truly the "Queen City of The Northern Mines, " I believe I am qualified to help guide Nevada City by virtue of my sincere desire to make it an even better place in which to live. I want others to be as proud of Nevada City aslam. I want other communities to lockto Nevada City as a town among towns. In working with your children in school and in various youth organizations, I feel I have a real stake in the community. I am vitally interested in seeing Nevada City prosper by taking full advantage of her historical background. Ihave lived in communities large and small. This has made me better able to appreciate Nevada City. Wecannot stand still, for to dosoistoslide backwards. I want to help to intellingently guide Nevada City toward its inevitable future. The President of the United States cannot be arrested. Dr. H. A. McPherson I chose to moveto Nevada City because I know of no better place to live. Nevada City is a fine town. I am a candidate for a place on the city council because I want to help keep Nevada City a fine town to ‘live in. Our civic services in genetal are very good. We have have an excellent police department; our fire department is the envy of neighboring towns, and we have an able and dedicated city manager. But oneofourweaknesses is our water system. Some of our water mains are obsolete, and their replacement should have a high priority in the next budget. Our town has a natural beauty and charm that will last only if we are aware of it and are willing to work hard to preserve it. Our greatest enemies are those who think. that change is necessarily progress and that . bigger is necessarily better. They should spend a year or two in any of our big cities torestore their sense of values. My primary concern is with the future. The world is changing too fast for us to sit back and hope that everything will go on just asit has, It isthe responsibility of the city council to take the iniative in joining with other civic groups to plan for the future and to anticipate the changes that are coming so as to be helped rather than hurt by them. ' This planning must be in many different areas but there is one that is especially urgent. It is probable that in two or three years we willhave a freeway through our town. With freeway traffic moving at sixty-five miles an hour, that means that we willbe four minutes from Grass Valley, that it willtake only thirty seconds todrive completely through Nevada City. When this day comes, what will happen to our two classes of visitors---the tourists and the local shoppers? When atypical car full of tourists arrives at the outskirts of Nevada City, the driver will ask, “Isthere any reason for stopping here?" Within the next twenty seconds someone must think of a reason such as, “This is the best preserved of the old mining towns." Or "This is where they have such interesting anitque shops." Or even "This is called the Carmel of the mountains. “If we donot have some definite and interesting public image to make people want to visitus, the travelers will see nothing but our freeway landscaping. And our merchants will be the losers. When our other class of visitors, the local shoppers, get in their cars there will beso little difference in traveltime between Nevada City and Grass Valley that their first impulse will be to the town with more and bigger stores. This is why our city council and our _merchants must work together to provide easier parking, better merchandising, a friendlier atmosphere, everything possible to mate Thomas W. Wallace I moved to this area four and half years ago and have ! livedin Nevada City for two and half years. I am employed by the Nevada City Auto Parts. If elected, I will undertake to have the outline and adopt a plan for the future development of Nevada City. This city, like many others, has been held back due to the tack of planning for the future. My beliefis that preparations should be started as soon as possible to secure off street parking. Many speak of the tourist business, if there is no parking available, they are not going to stop. The business people in the city should be most concermed about this matter. Also, plans for an additional fire station should be made for the area that will be east of the freeway. Of course the fire department should be assisted in the expansion _ of the present coverage and ' for future needs. Action should be taken immediately to secure sufficient water in sections of the city that are now inadequate, this should be done with the future needs taken into consideration. There should be cooperation between the city council and all civic groups in order to formulate plans and ideas for the future progress ofthecity. There are many Matters in which the councilcould use the help of such interested groups. In my judgement, the civic groups assistance would prove invaluable.
