The chamber of commerce has been working on this project since 1967, Names were sent in for approval while Mr. Wm, Roberts was still planning director. Again they were sent in, complete with map, in Octo“ber of 1969. Mr. Stan Mansfield current planning director advised me last week that we can plan on our hearing before the commission on Monday, May 3.

Some were even better, Only one individual insisted upon a name outside the plan. All roads with more than one resident were named at the request of our fire department and the planning director. This was in the interest of service to everyone in the community.Most roads in Rough and Ready are privately owned and so without the interest and need for names by service organizations such as fire, police, ambulance, etc., names would not have been possible. Since these are not county roads the plan’ calls for. the chamber to supply the funds, the fire department has agreed to do the lettering on the name plates, and residents of each street (road) are to install their own sign. Mr, and Mrs, George Gage of Sacramento, new owners of the Mobile Homes Park, visited Rough and Ready last week. They have a new brochure available at the park explaining its facilities, They also have plans for continuing improvements there. First of these will be blacktopping the area as soon as the weather breaks, Hopefully about the middle of April. They stopped to visit the little Wedding Chapel while here and ‘owner Mrs, Lisetta Scheave says they were surprised and pleased at the charm and beauty of the chapel and the wedding room. * * Sugar beets seems to be the newest industry in Rough and Ready.

This was the scene and theme of this year's 4-H Dress Veview. The Woodchuckers Club was the host and while they ‘didn't feed the group peanuts and popcorn the rest of the background for the review was in the Circus theme. Balloons graced the hall, ushers were dressed as clowns, anda couple of pet monkeys added fun to the occasion. Rough and Ready 4-H Club member John Prochaska provided half of the narration, He was fittingly garbed as a Circus Ringmaster. Two of John's sisters, Linda and Brenda Prochaska appeared in the Dress Review. Miss Loris Best served as one of the Review Judges. Ron Small, another member served as project and cleanup crew. Five Rough and Ready Club young ladies came home with high honors, Our blue ribbon winners were the Misses Linda Prochaska, Stacy Purvis, Robin Roland, Theresa Small, and Susan Thomas, There were 93 entries in the review. * * Mrs, Grace Nelsen is still at Nevada General recuperating from her most recent illness. * * Mrs, Helen Beatie and her choral group the Newcomers Lyric Ensemble entertained.the patients at Holiday Hills Convalescent Hospital on Tuesday and at Spring Hill Manor on Wednesday.

Fay Dunbar, Barbara Miller, Beulah Shearer, Olyve Simmons and Elaine Vogt. * * * Mrs, Constance Baer and Mrs. Fay Dunbar attended the lecture given last Thursday by Lyle White on the Red Dog and You Bet mining activities of the 1850s. Mr. White was speaker at the Nevada County Historical Society meeting. Lyle has extensive factual knowledge of the entire area, including Rough and Ready, ‘and its early activities, At present the historical society is preparing all of the historical bulletins issued since its inception in 1948 into one bound volume, There are 105 bulletins and the book will be available forall your history buffs by late May or early June of this year. %* ok & Mrs, Ted Olson of Palos Verdes Estates and her two children, Christine and Kenneth, have been visiting. in Rough and. Ready. Mrs, Olson is the daughter of Mr. and Mts, ‘K, _D, Beatie. Granddaughter Christine. is almost five years pele @ ¢ Plan bo adi ard almost gets a-pay raise County planning commissioners almost but not quite got a pay raise Tuesday. The. chairman receives $20 per meeting and other commissioners get $15, All receive mileage. By ordinance the commission may only be paid for three meetings per month no matter how many sessions are required to transact its business. Supervisors Tuesday heard motions to pay the commissioners $25 per meeting but retain the three time limit, and to pay them $35 and retain the limit. Both motions failed and the matter was tabled pending further study. Ralph. Buchanan moved for a further study because he foresaw problems with other commissions and suggested that the board take an "overall look." Chairman Dean Lawrence, who opened the subject of a raise, was the only no vote on the motion to set aside the matter. ; Mrs, Lawrence described the commission as efficient and going "full speed ahead" on zoning the county and other matters. They have a very difficult job, she claimed. She said Placer county pays its commissioners $35 for each meeting. The two commissioners from the eastern portion of the county spend a full day for sessions which often last until 1 a.m., and certainly are entitled to a day's pay, contended Willie Curran, The commission is scheduled to meet four times next month and may up it to five, said Dep. County Counsel Brian Bishop. One of the meetings may be in Truckee concerning an expansion of the post office there, and there are three rezoning maps to consider, Bishop said. Commission meetings open at 7:30 p.m. and as an average last until between 11 and 12 and sometimes later, Planning Director Stanley Mansfield said, Placer county holds its comold now and young Kenneth is two. Mrs, Olson, theformer Karen Beatie, spent her growing up years in Rough and Ready. . * * They have ruined our beautiful post office. All of those rustic old shingles on the false front are now covered with shiny white paint, Maybe they will hide some of it with a sign and certainly time will help dull the pristine garishness, * & * My definition of a "hippie" is about as unchristian athought as I am ever likely to have, But, for one small thing, / can you tell me why we should respect their ideas when with every thing they do they deliberately flaunt their disrespect for our ideas, ideals, laws, and just about everything else, My ire has’ been raised by the colony of them developing along Deer Creek with comPlete disregard for the beauty and possible future purity of the creek, , mission meetings in the day because it believes late night hours are not condusive to good planning, commented Auditor John Trauner. : Planning Commission Chairman Livingston had advised the board that four meetings are slated for April and had asked if Commissioners could be paid every time they met. He noted that: salary and the number of paid meetings -are controlled by ordinance. In other matters: related to planning the board approved three-family residential zoning for an unclassified area near Gateway west of Truckee. A 16-unit apartment complex is proposed for the site designated urban density by the general plan. The planning commission recommended approval of the proposed zoning. There was no testimony presented either for or against the proposal, --A letter was received from the American Association of University Women which recommended that the commission cease issuing use permits in unclassified areas until zoning is completed; that unclassified areas be given zoning priority; and that a zoning enforcement be considered. "A moratorium on use permits could create an injustice, and I just couldn't go for it," commented Supervisor Larry Filer. --The board approved continuing an appeal from a planning -commission decision to deny John Dayton a use permit to construct a 116 unit mobilehome park to be known as Gold Run Mobile Estates until May 4. The appeal was granted because Dayton said that his representative is ill and could not appear. 11 monitor stations placed at Lake Tahoe The State Division of Highways has installed 11 monitoring stations in the Lake Tahoe area since January when a research study was initiated to measure the effect of State. highways on the Tahoe environment, District Highway Engineer W. L, Warren said today. The new monitors will measure stream depth fluctuations. They will provide permanent, related locations at which the volume of sediment in streams and creeks can be accurately measured, "Our study engineer has installed gauges and. measuring devices at key locations along creeks which flow into Lake Tahoe, These will be read at frequent intervals, Water samples will be. collected at the same time," Warren said. “These will be tested for.clarity and for particles held in suspension," The district engineer said this intensive measuring and sampling procedure would continue during the high spring run-off and rain season.
