The largest number of voters in the history of the Nevada Irrigation District voted 2225 to 59 in favor of the $65 million revenue bond issue to finance the project, and voted 2153 to 76 in favor of necessary refunding of old NID bonds. The size of the vote and the margin of victory for the revenue bonds brought smiles to the entire irrigation district staff and board last night asresultscame in from . each precinct. Previous high vote in the district was 1540 votes in 1957. Yesterday's vote was . more than 50 percent greater, Water issues in other areas have recorded margins of 20 or 25 to 1 in most instances. Yesterday's NID voters balloted 37.7 to 1 for the project. Voting opposition came from less than four per cent of the voters on each proposition, No accurate count of registered voters exists at the irrigation district's headquarters, but a Nugget estimate of registered voters (7400)-indicates the voter turnout was morethan 30 per cent, high for a special district election. Manager Ed Koster began this morning the various tasks in preparation for selling of the bonds and advertising of the project for construction. Tentative plans of the district are to begin construction of the project early in 1963. The project will be two years in construction. In the meantime, much necessary paper work must be done, andthe district's board must move ahead with preliminary recreational studies in order to be able to qualify for Davis-Grunsky reservoir recreational development, The Yuba-Bear project will include construction of reservoirs at Jackson Meadow, Faucherie, Rollins (near Chicago Park), and enlargement of Scott's Flat reservoir. It will alsoinclude expansion of the district's water transportation system in the higher elevations and to the low er reservoirs, and construction of two power plants. Power sales to the PG&E will pay off the revenue bonds. home freezers and at the same time helpto encourage , the County's young people‘ in worth while activities.

A preliminary plan for scenic highways has been published by the advisory committee, but its recommendations for Nevada County leave out,the most scenic state highway in the county according to the opinion of several local leaders, Included in the scenic highway preliminary plan are Highway 49 from Grass Valley towhere it leaves the county enroute to Yuba Pass, the Colfax highway from Grass Valley to Bear River enroute to Colfax and Highway 40 (also scenic from Auburn to the Nevada border), and Highway 89 in the eastern end of the county. It'snot that the tocattea= ders disagree with the committee. It's just that they almost unanimously believe that the Highway 20 "Avenue of Trees” from Nevada City to U.S. 40 is the most scenic highway in the county, Perhaps it would be accurate to say it is the most beautiful in the western end of the county, for local leaders limited their considerations to the roads west of Donner summit and north of U.S. 40. The localleaders who named Highway 20 as the “most scenic in-the-county in a Nugget survey were Grass Valley's Mayor John Hodge, Nevada City's Mayor Bob Carr, Nevada City Chamber of Commerce president Tom Weather NEVADA CITY Max.

Johnson praised the views of O mega and Bear Valley obtained on Highway 20.

Highway 20 in the Rough and Ready area westward to the Yuba River was Johnson's third choice within the county. It drew praise from some others, also, By strange coincidence, none of the leaders mentioned the Colfax Highway, although those who were asked specifically about it afterthe survey agreed that it has mer it as a scenic route, too, It is believed that the Colfax Highway was included in the preliminary system to complete a Mother Lode section of the plan which included all of Highway 49 except that portion between Auburn and Grass Valley. _ Local organizations and gevernmental agencies may recommend to the regional meeting in Marysville their choices for local inclusion in the scenic highway system that is expected toevolve from the advisory committee's preliminary report and the currently scheduled regional meetings.
