; 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.

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
