Despite this year’s increase, Chappie, as are many other state government Officials, is convinced still more must be done--particularly in property tax relief. The assemblyman feels the “next real effort” will be to eliminate the personal property tax and give some relief to senior citizens. “We took the big step this year--ending the inventory tax,” Chappie said. “It will take five years to phase it out.” On the need to change the property tax structure, Chappie noted in an interview with the Nugget: “About the only thing a person ends up with as the end product of life is four walls and a roof. Banging him over head with it through taxes is unfair.” On this year’s tax increase, Chappie felt “we had a problem and had to face up to it.” “It was strictly non partisan as far as I was concerned,” he continued. “Some of us had been talking about the need for tax revisions for two years.” The 1967 session of the California Legislature was “generally good” in the opinion of Nevada county’s assemblyman: ong Chapple, like the other 139 legislators, finally finished early Monday morning, even though the .Capitol clocks had been stopped since Friday so the last items of business could be handled. After an all-day. session Saturday, Chappie rushed up the hill to the installation dinner of the Nevada County Chamber of Commerce. “It’s generally been a good session,” Chappie said. “My real complaint is we should Entertainment a?

More than 30 bands from throughout the state will. be presented in concerts ranging from rock ‘n roll to opera during the fair’s 12-day run as part of the fair’s schedule of free entertainment. 8 have been out of here two months ago. “Lots of legislators have been playing games because there is an election next year,” he added. “One way to stop that nonsense is to keep bills alive two years.” In a lighter note, and himself obviously tired from the rigors of the last week in the Legislature, Assemblyman Chappie said Speaker Jesse Unruh was anxious to co-author one bill Chappie proposed. This legislation would have abolished the last week of the session. A Republican, Chappie was high in his praise of freshman.Gov. Ronald Reagan, but had a. harsher analysis of some of the GOP governor’s aides. “I have a deep respect for the governor,” Chappie said. “He has an innate grasp of government.” Then, the assemblyman mentioned his only problem with California’s first Republican administration in eight Hunters Should Be Careful Forest Service Regional Forester J. W. Deinema urged that all hunters be especially careful with fire during the upcoming season. The coastal hunting season opened Saturday and large number of hunters are expected throughout the coastal hunting areds. ~ ~ “We have had a very wet winter and I am afraid that some of us may not understand the severity of the fire season facing us,” Deinema remarked. “The heavy winter precipitation has resulted in unusually dense stands of grass which complicates the fire control problem. We must take every step possible to prevent fires from starting,” he added. The drying conditions which normally start in April and May were later than usual this year. The last few weeks, however, have produced above normal temperatures and lower humidities. Forest. Service officials are concerned that large numbers of people may lapse into complacency due to last winter’s heavy rains. The Forest Service recommends. that hunters take. the following steps as a precaution against the possibility of an escaped fire: 1. Use designated’ campgrounds whenever possible. 2. Carry a shovel with you in the car. 3. If you camp outside a designated area, be sure to have a campfire permit and to camp in a safe area. 4. Be sure your campfire is out when you leave. A good way to tell is to run your hands through the ashes. 5. Smoke in a clear area three feet in diameter. Never move when smoking. Crush your smoke out. in mineral soil. Deinema concluded with the plea that each hunter recognize the current fire danger and be extremely careful with all fires during the summer . Pemberton, %, ay municating directly with the governor. “It becomes increasingly difficult to talk to the big man-they put a buffer up. This is not needed,” Chappie contended. Noting his 11 mountain counties comprise 20 per cent of California’s land mass, Chappie said: “I get more people in my office in a day than most legislators do in a month; but we have an open door policy. “I realize the governor can’t see 20 million people, but to be effective, he has to break down the barriers of the people around him.” Chappie was critical of Reagan’s top assistants, particular particularly Philip Battaglia for erecting barriers between legislators and the governor.

Arts Commission Has Exhibition The California Arts Commission announced that it is sponsoring an exhibition titled “The Seven Decades of Design” on tour of California for one year.

Stock Sale Set at State Fair SACRAMENTO--A simple gavel will be a factor in deciding future quality of California meats when it raps the auction stand at the California State Fair’s market stock sale, set during the fair’s 12day run, Aug. 30-Sept. 10. ‘Hank Stone, noted auctioneer from.

Stephen P. Teale (D-Third District) to appropriate $4million for loans to construct sewage and drainage projects at the north end of Lake Tahoe was civen final approval by the legislature this week and sent to the Governor for signature. The bill, SB 704, which was given final Senate concurrence on July 31, increases from $2 million to $4 million the appropriation to the State Water Quality Control Board for expenditure over a.two-year riod for loans to. the TrucBee" Sanitary District and the North Lake Tahoe and Tahoe City Public Utility Districts. Teale said the funds will be used to construct a sewer system at the north end of the lake and will also be used to finance a trunk line which will take the effluen out of the Lake Tahoe bas to a treatment plant to be located in the Martis area of the Truckee Sanitary District. It was determined some time ago, Teale said, that the only way to save the lake from sewage pollution, was to export all sewage out of the basin. Projects are under construction at both the north and south ends of the lake to do this, Teale noted, and the funds included in SB 704 will permit the three north end districts now to keep their sewage collection and export construction project on schedule. The bill has an urgency clause and: will go into effect as soon as it is signed y the Governor. The measure stipulates that the money will become available to the districts only after they meet certain requirements including execution of an agreement between the three districts and the State Water Quality’ Control Board for repayment of the loans, stipulation that the’ three districts have voter approval for issuance of not less than $1,400,000 in bonds and that the North Tahoe and Tahoe City Public Utility Dis=: tricts annex the service area of the proposed facilities. Animals raised by the 4-H and Future Farmers of America members are bred from the best stock in the state, and most have been judged at county and district fairs at least once before competing at the State Fair. This prejudging gives the youngsters and idea of the quality of their stock and also acts as a gauge in deteres whether the stock is of high enough quality tocompete at the State Fair.
