son Street in Grass Valley, it

Purity completed purchase
of the final five parcels on
the site July 22, now having
nearly five acres---440 feet
fronting on Colfax Avenue,
435 feet fronting on Henderson Street.
In constructing the new
store, Purity will invest approximately$500, 000in

the faith that Purity Stores
has in the future of the area.
He pointed out more than 20
years os service to the community by Purity Stores.
The Purity supermarket
’ will be the central part of
the shopping area which will
include a diversification of
retail outlets covering about
20,000 square feet.
Off-street parking will be
available for more than 265
cars, ~
The market will cover
15,000 square feet, itself.
The Grass Valley site was
chosen because of its projected access to the proposed

Registration
Chairman
Appointed
Mrs. Helen Williams of
Town Talk will serve as the
Democratic voter registration drive chairman for Nevada County this fall. She
was elected to the post last
Thursday evening at the first
regular meeting of the newly
reorganized Democratic
county central committee.
Mrs. Williams stated she
will plan to organize an intensive registration campaign in the county before
the November general
election. "We hope to have
a larger number of deputy
registrars on the job than
ever before,“ she said.
In other action, the committee resolved to apply
$109, representing the
county ‘s share of money collected in last year's Dollars
for Democrats drive, to the
Nevada County campaigns
of Congressman Harold T.
"Bizz" Johnson, Assemblyman Paul J. Lunardi, and
state senator Ronald Cameron. All three of these Democrats are up for re-election .
The committee alsorecommended that a similar divi+
sion of funds be made from
the local share of this year's
upcoming Dollars for Democrats campaign.
Bart Pinaglia of North San {
Juan expressed interest in
forming a new Democratic
club in his area. Chairman
Elmer Lewis pledged the assistance of the central committee for this project.

NC Review
In a newsletter issued
Monday, the Citizens for
Progress committee of Nevada City reported it has
“successfully enlisted the aid
of the Division of Beaches
and Parks, State of California,” and other organizations, "in our fight to win
the review of the proposed
freeway through the center
of Nevada City."
According to Otis Gaylord,
chairman ofthe committee,
the Division of Beaches and
Parks historian, Aubrey
Neasham, sent a copy of the
recent division report, “The
Golden Chain of the Mother
Lode," to Robert Bradford,
highway commission chairman.
Neasham acted on the urging of the Citizens for Progress group. The report devotes considerable attention
to the proposed freeway, concluding, "..oneofthecontroversial questions raised by
this project..is whether or
not the properties acquired
by the state for right-of-way
purposes should be used for
such purposes or be diverted
to some form of utilization
that will preserve their historic values. This is one of
the problems of preserving
historic buildings and sites
in the Mother Lode and adjacent areas which requires
further study and analysis."
In its newsletter, the committee also reported progress
in working with the chamber
of commerce on the possibility of painting the downtown district.
The action of the county
planning commission in
seeking a moratorium on new
billboard construction in the
county for one year was commended.
Listed with Gaylord as coorganizers for the committee

Living with the auto will
probably always produce a
multitude of problems. As
the number of cars and
trucks continues to mount,
the financing, construction
and routing of the highways
on which to operate them
becomes increasingly com‘plex. Other factors connect‘ed with use of roads, such
as safety, special purpose
vehicles, driver licensing
and the like, also complicate the situation. Consideration of such matters makes
up a sizeable portion of our
Igislative responsibilities.
Recently the A,ssembly
interim committee on transportation and commerce embarked on a series of hearings in preparation for our
1961 session. Continuing on
over the next. several
months, these meetings will
serve to identify various
‘problems, as well as to develop possible solutions for
them.
A number of topics. were
brought up at a three-day
meeting of the group in San
Francisco, One is the ques-.
tion of control of truck
routes by cities. Another is
the formula for allocating
gas tax moneys for highway building.
The problem of truck
routing is particularly. aeute
in rapidly growing residential areas. Homeowners who
have located with an idea
to the safety of their children, or to the absence of
traffic noise, dirt and confusion, get undestandably
bothered when heavy truck
traffic,starts invading their
quiet residential streets.
Complaints are made to
their city councils, and soon
ordinances are passed to
limit the weight of truck
loads permitted on certain
streets.
Equally understandably,
truck operators are interested in the econcmy maae

NOTICE OF FUTURE HEARING
Notice is hereby given that

Transportation A Major
Problem In California
possible by use of the shortest possible routes, so they
are not especially happy:
with laws which require
them to use roundabout!
roads, So at the hearing, a
spokesman for the operators
suggested enactment of a
law which would set up
county commissions to determine reasonable truck
routes on the basis of each)
county as a whole. Such a
kaw wouldremove from
cities the power to fix truck
routes.Opposition to this proe
posal was expressed by
spokesmen for the cities. It
was maintained that cities
should have the exclusive
right to establish load limits for trucks using their
streets, subject, of course,
to court’ review if an action is filed.
Proposals to change the
formula for allocation of
gas tax funds to the counties were also discussed at
the hearing. At present, the
law provides a specific percentage allocation of funds
available, to each county
within an overall percentage
allocation to. the northern
and southern areas of the
state. That ‘portion of the
law which’ sets up the allocations to counties expires
in 1963 unless it is renewed.
The percentage allocations
to the multi-county areas
continue indefinitely, however.
A representative of the
University of California Institute of Transportation
recommended to the committee that this county-bycounty formula be changed
to permit. allocation on a
regional basis, ‘involving
several adjacent counties.
Such a change, it was said,
would give much more equltable result. It would enable
the division of highways to
proceed with large scale
planning for improvement
of the entire state highway
system.
Another witness referred
to the present formula as
“horse and buggy financing.” It was said that allocation on a \regional basis
would enable. building a
needed highway between
any two points in a given
region without regard to
county lines.
If past history can be considered a precedent, we
ought to have some interesting times with highway
allocations in 1961.

For Sawmills
Pine lumber marketing
practices of sawmills in El
Dorado, Placer and Nevada
Counties will be studied by
researchers from the University of California School
of Forestry in Berkeley.
In announcing the project,
U.C. Forestry Dean Henry
J. Vaux said the findings
will be made available to
the lumber industry and
other interested businessmen, officials and. persons
in the three counties.
Vaux explained that the
main purpose of the investigation is to discover the
causes of the _ instability
which has characterized the
region’s important lumber
industry in the past.
A study conducted in the
area two years ago revealed
that markets for privately
owned timber have been
highly unstable and disorganized. It concluded that
this situation was not favorable to planned management of some 417,000 acres
of commercial forest land in
small private ownership.
Dr. John A. Zivnuska,
professor of forestry and a
nationally recognized authority in the field. will direct the U.C. study.
The investigation will be
conducted in three phases.
First, all mills in the three
counties will be surveyed
to determine their lumber
marketing practices. Emphasis will also be placed
on timber supply problems
now facing the industry.
Important industry trends
will be related to the local
economy. :
Dennis E. Teegarden, U.C.
forest economist, will carry.
out the survey of sawmills
in the area during August
and September.
