rity: ekes w on! r th Leash Canines By Dean Thompson ; NEVADA CITY---Notice to’ Nevada City's licensed dogs: Consider yourself part of the family. took a look at.a proposed new . dog licensing ordinance Monday night -~--a long look. And, let metell you, dogs of Nevada City, the councilmen didn't like what they read, even if the ordinance was similar to one now in use inGrass Valley, and even if the ordinance changes generally were requested by the twin-city poundmaster. This ordinance would have leashed you, andthe council refused even to introduce the measure. Any licensed dog in Nevada City should have the run of thé town, providing of course that he or she doesn 't become an obviOus nuisance, But be you unlicensed, or a female dog in heat, beware, for the councilnten are 4 determined to rewrite pori tions of the new ordinance so that you shall be impounded or enclosed, respectively. Afterall, the councilmen agree, most of the causes of nuisances among the dog population fall into one of these two categories. The new ordinance is intended to bring the, Nevada City regulation more in line with Grass Valley's ordinance. But Section 8 of the new ordinance will be changed before it is introduced for official council-action, It likely will call for the housing of female dogs at times when they are most likely to be a nuisance, and will likely have some procedure set up to handle the unusual licensed dog which becomes a nuisance. As in the present city dog licensing ordinance, unlicensed dogs will be impounded. But the license fee will drop for female dogs from $3 per yearto$2, thereby being on a par with their ‘male counterparts. (This came about when Councilman Ben Barry pointed out that there are some female dogs who aren't, really; and rather than set up a special category in the license fee list for "it" dogs, the council decided to stop discriminating against all females.) Further, the new ordinance. will not carry Section 10 which would have made i it illegal for dogs to wander q off paths and roads through parks, Parks are for dogs as well as people in Nevada City---licensed dogs, that is. Councilman Craig Davies led the assault on the proposed ordinance, He hadthe obvious support of all coun4 Tea The Nevada City Council _cilmen (although Councilman Barry did complain of one dog that did gardening in his yard off and on), And Councilman Davies was firm in his opposition to the ordinance as it was drafted. "I think, this is stiff," he said, “too stiff." Nevada City will have to grow a whole lot more and have a more acute problem with dogs before the city needs this specific ordinance, Davies explained. The councilman said he considered his dog a part of the family and,"I believe I'd move right out of here” if there was an ordinance that said he had to be penned. The council will consider the ordinance after Section 10 is dropped and Section 8 is changed, With a license, a dog's life isn't bad at all---in Nevada City. Bloomfield School Bell. To Move — WASHINGTON ---T he Washington.School District trustees voted unanimously last night to loan the Nevada County Historical Society the old school bell which hangs in the tower of'the North Bloomfield school, The historical society plans to display the bell in the belfry of the Nevada City museum. The old bellhas not called children toc lasses for almost a generation. Time was, however, when the little white schoolhouse was filled with the children of hydraulic miners from North Bloomfield area. The historical society was represented by its board member, Robert M.-Wyc‘koff, who saidthat many . historical items in the county were in danger of being junked or,being placedin museums or private collections elsewhere. Truckee Seeks Disaster Rating TRUCKEE---T here's been too much sun and too little snow in the Truckee-Donner area, As a result of a su ering winter resort area that depends on snow for skiing, the Truckee-Donner Chamber of Commerce has asked Assemblyman Paul Lunardi to aid in getting the area designatas a “sun-disaster area”. The chamber hopes that designation as a disaster area would result in special financing aid to winter. resorts which are nearly bankrupt because of lack of snow, = a ae pe Sebastopol, Quaker Hill, Willow Valiey, Newtown, ‘Serving the communities of Nevada City, Grass Valley, Red Dog, You Bet, Town Talk, Gleenbrook, Little York, Cherehes, Mooney Flat, Sweetland, Alpha, Omega, French Corral, Rough and\Ready, Graniteville, North San Juan, North Bloomfield, Humbug, Relief Hill, Washington, Blue Tent, LaBarr Meadows, Cedar Ridge, Union Hill, Peardale, Summit City, Walloupa, Gouge Eye, Lime Kiln, Chicago Park, Wolf, Christmas Hill, Liberty Hill, Sailor Flat, Lake City, Selby Flat, Grizzly Hill,.

Vol. 38 No. 3 10¢ A Copy "THE PAPER WITH THE PICTURES" Published Weekly Nevada-City, Wednesday, Jan. 16, 1963 Planners NEVADA CIT Y---Two applications for proposed church encampments occupied the attention of the county planning commission and over 80 interested citizens Monday night. The meeting, originally scheduled for the supervisors chambers, was moved to the superior court-room due to the large crowd, The use-permit application of the Paradise A postolic Church to establish an: “old fashioned camp meeting” place in Penn Valley was turned down unanimously, after Bill Stinson, Harold Enner, J.H. McCormack, Frank Moore, Paul Sisil, three county officials, and several Penn Valley land owners spoke in opposition to the proposal. Leo Todd was legal counsel for some of the objectors. The applicants planned to set up a Summer camp to accommodate an ultimate total of 2,000 people, on 20 acres of land on the Spenceville Rd, Most of the opposition to the idea. centered around the fear of Penn Valley residents that the camp would intrude on the residential character of the area, create a fire and safety problem, and depreciate land values. Sheriff Wayne Brown and Harry Wolters of the district attorney's office described potential law enforcement problems which might ensue if'the camp were located in the fast -growing Penn Valley area, Assessor Charles Kitts suggested that land values could be affected by the éstablishment of the camp. In recommending denial of a use permit, planning director Bill Roberts said that “within ten years Penn Valley willbe a city, possibly larger than Grass Valley or Nevada City". He said the establishment ofa summer camp meeting place of the type proposed “could be detrimental to the residential and commercial development of the area”. John Watson and Nathan McFarland represented the apostolic group which is now located in Paradise, Butte County. The second church group application involved a subdivision tentative map submitted by the Church of God Association of Northern California, which plans an extensive development on the Edwards Crossing Rd. NEW CHAMBER PRESIDENT..Larry Farrell (Left), manager of the Pacific Gas and Electric in Grass Valley was installed president of the Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce for 1963, Saturday night ata dinner meeting in the Bret Harte Inn. Ga. gratulating Farrell is Farrell F. Wrenn, (center) president of the California State Fair, Exposition Board and guest speaker for for the evening and. Steve Chileski, outgoing president of the chamber. Reject ChurchCamp Plea A discussion of the tentative map quickly bogged : down in arguments over whether the church group is . proposing a subdivision, or a development w hich would not be subject to the subdivision ordinance. The issue was held over pending an opinion which will be sought from the district attorney, The Association plans to develop its land under a complicated legal arrangement by which the land area of 285 acres would be leased by the Association to a nonprofit corporation under its control. Thenon-profit corporation would then sell memberships to church adherents, who would be permitted to build homes on some 995 parcels within the property. Because the non-profit corporation would keep control of all the land, the
church group, represented by Jack Marsh, a Sacramento lawyer, claimsthe development is not atrue subdivision and therefore should not have to abide by all the requirtments of the subdivision ordinance. ‘County Calls Bids On Lease NEVADA CITY ---Nevada County supervisors took another step toward lease -purchase construction of the county building program Thursday by calling for lease bids. The supervisors, by a 4-1 vote in each instance, approved the lease of county landto any successful bidder, approved the form of the possible county lease contract, and passed a resolution of intent necessary to the calling for bids. Bids on the lease -purchase will be opened March 1, at w hich time the supervisors can study the cost of such method of financing the the county building program. Supervisors willhave-six months after that date to satisfy themselves that the lease-purchase method meets the needs of the county. The method of financing is opposed by newly -elected Supervisor Don Blake, who with several residents in the audience proposed that the county should submit the building program tothe people in the form of an obligation bond issue.

Bear River Crossing EINCOLN Agreement to form a tri-county committee for study of problems in the Bear River Adjacent to Shari dan andBeale Air Force Base resulted from a meeting of public officials and land owners in Lincoln Jan, 11 Plans include formation of a nine-man committee which will hold an organizational meeting late in January. Paul J. Lunardi, assemblyman from the Sixth District, acted as chairman and promised the state would assist in working out problems, including representation by at least one state official on the committee. Most of the planning which will originate with the committee is expected to center around the Camp Far West reservoir which is now under construction in conjunction with the South Sutter Water district project underway on the Bear River near Sheridan. Roads in the vicinity of the reservoir and crossings of the river are to receive particular attention. The meeting was triggered by a petition bearing 900 signatures from three counties requesting action on Béar River crossings, Within a matter of months construction of the Camp Far West Chancellor Due GRASS VALLEY ---Chancellor Edward W. Strong, of the University of California's Berkeley campus, and David E. Apter, associate professor of political science, will be hosted Feb. 6 at a dinner in the Bret Harte Inn by the area's University of California alumni. Apter, an authority on African political problems, joined the Berkeley campy in 1961. Reservations can be made by contracting Mrs, RoyC.

No plans have been made for replacement except that the water district is providing a road across the dam top which will have to use the spillway as part of the road. Planning for the area's recreational potential will also be discussed by. the committee. It is anticipated that the three county committees will include a supervisor from each of Placer, Nevada and Yuba counties, a representative of the water district, a landowner from each county, anda representative each fromthe state and federal levels, broken water VOTERS REJECT TAX HIKE . ; City Elementary School Dis. trict voters yesterday turned i down a proposal to increase . the minimum base tax rate . from $1.05 to $1. 50 per $100 ' assessed valuation. : jected the tax rate increase ' Ed Browning expressed disa; ppointment this morning : over the election returns.

Nevada City's official . thermometer dropped to 11 . degrees Saturday, and there were four other days when the mercury went under the 20 degree level. ' Lowest high temperature was registered Sunday when the mercury could only get up to 39 in Nevada City, Although Grass Valley temperatures were from,4 to 13 degrees higher during the nights, that city also registered five morning lows under freezing. While rainfall in both cities shows relatively high, the bulk of that rain came in an early deluge, and water storage via a snowpack in the mountains is nil. ne VOTING,..Voting was rothtivets heavy yesterday in Nevada City when 908 persons turned out to defeat a measure which.. would haveraised the maximum school tax rate of the Nevada .

Ifnot, the issue could not be placed before the voters again until mid-June, Nevada Union High School District trustees will consider tomorrow night whetherto place an over-ride election on the April ballot.
