lands are being put are many,
and are increasing at a rate
which is probably much
greater thanthat at which
the population of the state
is burgeoning. For that reason, sound land use planning
covering these revenue and
recreation producing public
lands is a real necessity, It:
has been assumed by many
that the prime objective of
the Forest Service is to produce timber and to protect
that timber from being burned. Timber production is
recognized to be an important facet of our mountain
economy. More accurate
timber inventories and growth studies made in recent
years have resulted in appreciable increases in the allowable annual cut of National Forest timber, Areas
long occupied by brushfields
are being cleared and reforested under a planned program. Current burns are being treated promptly for
timber salvage, soil erosion
control, disposal of flamable
debris, and reforestation.

Nevertheless other land uses
which were once minor compared with timber production
are assuming greater importance, :
In_ addition to producing
timber and having that which
is mature harvested on a sustained yield management
basis, Tahoe National Forest lands afford recreational
opportunities for hundreds of
thousands of visitors annually,
andthe number of such Forest users is increasing at the’
rate of about ten per cent
each year. Forage for domestic livestock in the. fornt’of
gt ass and browse species is
produced on the public lands.
Those same lands also produce water for domestic, agricultural and hydroelectric
purposes, as wellas the habitat for wildlife and fish.
Multiple use planning and
management recognizes that
all these renew able resources
are related; and serves to
keep each of them producing
on a sustained basis for the
public good. The plans are
designed to providea pattern
of orderly development and
atthe same time coordinate
the various uses of the land.
They describe the status and
amount Of each of the natural resources as well as the
problemsassociated with
land occupancy, transportation and fire control. In addition they contain specific
coordinating instructions and
management direction for
each of the individual management zones, While the
plans are intended for use
within the Forest Service, we
realize that effective management ofthe public resources is of concernto many
other agencies and groups,
and is possible only with their
active cooperation and the
successful management of
land under their jurisdiction,

GOLD FLAT ----The do-ityourself mode of operation
runs into many phases of life
today, but in the Gold Flat
Fire District it runs into fire
trucks.
The department members
have three over age units in
the fire house and four overworked mechanics who put
in overtime to keep the heaps
running. They have drooled
at other first line equipment
owned by the state and adjacent cities! But when the
fire equipment people rolled
up before the fire house with
a real first line pumper it
had an $18,000 price tag on
it. It was frustrating to say
the least.
They had a caucus and
after a lot of converstaion
decided that they had the
know -how, the ability todesign and build a better piece
of equipment to fight the

The people of Nevada
County must realize that the
construction and sale of
houses will produce continuing problems in the field of
education and in other services. The Statewide average, for school planning purposes, allows 1,5 children
(kindergarten through 12th
grade) perhouse. A $20,000
house is assessed at about 25
percent or $5,000. Using an
operational tax rate of $1.00
elementary and $1.00 for
high school, this produces
only $50 at each level forthe
educational purposes. The

Approximately 54 man-hours

members of the department.
The district officials considers that they have saved the
taxpayers $16,015 from the
cost of a purchased unit, and
they feel this unit has the
beef to handle the roughest
jobs, especially the hard to
get to places that are short
of water, It is by far not the
slowest unit in the department, and it will handle its
load at legal emergency

It is with this can-do attitude that the Gold Flat department hopes to keep
