. Purity Stores, Inc., will soon begin construction of a new Purity market and shopcenter at the corner of son Street in Grass Valley, it was announced last week by J.R. Niven, Purity president. 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 Grass Valley. Niven stated the investment will be an expression of 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 seh aide dap apna 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. Lewis and Mrs. Amy Nygardrepresented this area at the Democratic state bien4 Aon Colfax Avenue and HenderGrass Valley-Nevada City freeway which is expected to be under construction in two or three years. In the past year Purity has opened sevennew San . Joaquin Valley stores, as well astwointheBay Area. More than ten additional. sites in various Northern California communities have been purchased for immediate deve3: lopment. Beaches, Parks Aid J e 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 were Mrs. J.B. Christie, Albert Johnson, Elza Kilroy, Sven Skaar, andEdC. Uren.

LUNARDI 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 LEGAL NOTICE BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Application N6, 40057
Application of THE GREYHOUND CORPORATION (W estern Greyhound Lines Division) for an order authorizing increases in intrastate €x press charges and intrastate passenger fares, except commutation fares, NOTICE OF FUTURE HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California has set a further hearing in the abovye-entitled matter before Examiner Thompson for Wednesday, August 24, 1960, at 10 a.m-., in the Commission Courtroom,State Building, San Francisco, California, at whichtime and place allinterested parties may appear and be heard, __ BY ORDEROF THE PUBLIC ‘UTILITIES COMMISSION, Dated at San Francisco, this 1st day of August, 1960. R.J.-Pajalich, Secretary Public Utilities Commission ofthe State of eg Die Se ane pata atatanss RRRD ia. Seis er : California 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.

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.
