THIS LITTLE BIRD, a grosbeak, sort of adopted the family of Barbara Beard on Banner Mountain after its mother pushed it from the nest. Some neighborhood children, knowing Mrs. Beard is a bird watcher, told her about the waif so she fed and cared for it for the past months. The bird unconcernedly sits on the heads and shoulders of children, such as Bill Beard, here. At left is his sister, Mary, and at right, is David Cremarosa, a neighbor. Recreation Money May Be Split Evenly TRUCKEE — The state re creation money allocated to. Nevada county. will be split evenly between Grass Valley’s Conon Park and a Truckee facility, if the county recreation commission’s recommendation is followed. The recreation group last night unanimously approved an equal split between the two competitors. Grass Valley officials had sought a larger Share for Condon. Since $75,000 has been allocated to this county, the recommendation is that $37,500 be granted to Condon and an equal amount to Truckee. Improve 66 Acrés The money for Condon Park reportedly will be used to begin’ installing © underground water and sewer systems for 66 acres which have been idle up to now because they do not have those public services, Only some 10 acres of the Grass Valley park have been developed to date. The recreation commission’s recommendation now will be forwarded to the county board of supervisors, which probably will study the issue later this month. .The supervisors have the final word locally on what park is to get how much, but then technical state rules must be followed closely before either area actually will receive funds. Areas About Even In voting to divide the $75,000 evenly, the commissioners concluded the merits of the two recreation areas are about even, it was reported. The action was based on criteria presented by Truckee Recreation District with amendments added by Grass Valley, Commission Chairman Ernie Harries reported. “This is a hard working commission, looking at the county as one piece of cheese, and all of its citizens have to work together to develop recreation,” Harries said later. The fact that property owners of Truckee Recreation District pay a tax of almost 20 cents per $100 of assessed valuation to develop their park was mentioned. It was reported that the tax produced about $40,000 this year, Commissioner Barbara Sailor said citizens of the western part of Nevada county should realize it takes taxation to get recreation, and they should impose such taxes, Harries. noted that recreation is one of the most important things in Nevada county, and any recreation which is develjoped—whether in the eastern or western end — will help everyone. Sees Good Return He estimated both the Condon and Truckee park developments will show a two to one return on dollars spent. The Condon Park proposal had been presented to the commission by Pat Ingram, Grass Valley engineer. The Truckee proposal was presented by Ken Anderson, With interest in the recommendation high, some 40 persons attended the meeting in the county building at Truckee. The Truckee park proposal includes tennis courts and an ice rink. It encompasses 64 acres along Highway 267, which is the Brockway shortcut between Truckee and North Lake Tahoe. It was noted Truckee has applied for federal matching funds to go with its share of state park money, and Harries recommended that Grass Valley Officials seek similar federal funds for Condon, The $75,000 is available to local, but regionally oriented, parks in Nevada county through the 1964 bond measure approved by voters statewide.
