Z Vol. 20, No.46 _The County Seat Paper NEV ‘ADA CITY, CALIFORNIA MONDAY. JUNE 10, 1946 THINKING OUT LOUD SAWMILL H. M. L. JR. The local boys involved in the Tahoe Sugar Pine Company labor trouble and now charged with rioting are not the type with fhom the sheriff's office usually finds it necessary to have official dealings. The trouble which culminated in rockthrowing, apparently started over the dismissal of a foreman—a mighty odd thing to get excited about. In this writer's experience ag a laiboring man, a_ ditch-digger, janitor, waiter—the firing of a foreman would have been greeted with glee. Working guys usually consider foremen as a necessary evil, though ‘the reverse is apparently true in this case. ‘ The town will watch the trial with xood-natured interest. The charge of rioting is serious but the general good character of the young men involved stands in their favor. Speaking of sawmills—one is due to be established at the old Narrow Gauge depot. Residents of Prospect Hill are ‘wp in arms. or, at least. more than somewhat disturbed. In a problem like this, there are usually ut least two points of view involved. In this one, at least three are clearly defined. of all, there's Mr. LaRue He's a ibuginessmen and from all re-' ports, a very good one. He has a lo-; cation there and he wants to profit ‘by it. The saw mill ‘business is hooming as never ‘before, and anyone who can get in on it. and doesn't is mi ing the ‘boat. His motive. like ever other business man’s, is to make a profit. He promises to do his levei best not to create a nuisance. And there's nothing wrong with that. Then there's the viewpoint of residents of Prospect Hill. It's a nice neighborhood, with a good view. tidy little hoouses and a population neither rich nor destitute. They've put money into their homes. They live under pleasant conditions. They don't want the residential real estate values to go down. They don't want the pleasant conditions changed to unpleasant. They've known e6aw mills that gave off enormous quantities of smoke. noise and stink. and naturally don't relish the thought of that in their own front yard. They're against the saw mill. And there's nothing wrong with that. Then there’s the City Council. The more businesses there are in the town, the more prosperity there is. It is estimated the mill will employ 15 men. Onur city’s crying need, since the discontinuance of gold mining is for a basic industry to create a racklog df income. Lumbbering bids fair to becoming that industry. The city fathers feel like encouraging, tather than discouraging any young imdustry and business me. that wants to start one. Mayor Seaman eaye, ‘I'm for the town, first Jast, and always.” And there's nothing wrong with that. So there it is, a three-sided probwm. The way it stands right now is that LaRue is going ahead with his plang for a mill. It's a legitimate business and there’s no way for the tity council to stop it now, if they wanted to. The residents of Prospect Hill have served informal noticce that. should LaRue fail in his plans to keep the mill from becoming a nuisance through smoke and stink, they will file suit for abatement of a public nuisance. Whatever the out¢ome, we hope and believe it will be settled with good feeling. After all, as Mayor Seaman says of his own Position. we’re all “for the town.” BPWC To Celebrate _ nther’s Night The June 19th dinner meetings of the Grass Valley Busineas and Professional Women's Clubwill be Mother's Nicht.

The purse had heen handed to htm at Omega just as he was ready to start and he placed it under the cushion on the driver's seat.
