(Copy of letter sent to:) Hon. Robert E. Carr, Jr., Mayor, City Hall, Nevada City, California. Dear Mr. Carr: We wish to confirm the position taken by the Preservation of Historic Buildings Committee of the Calis fornia Council, A.A. on the freeway question at the public hearing on the evening of May 24, 1960. The architects of the State of California are concerned with and vitally interested ‘In preserving our historic heritage as visually presented by the architecture and character of structures and sites, so far as possible and consistent with progressive planning and public interest —locally and statewide. Nevada City is one of our historic treasures as a cultural and tourist attraction and its defacement can result in great economic and cultural loss to all concerned, particularly to Nevada City itself. A review of the published plans for the proposed freeway shows that the commuof some of your greatest aesthetic and cultural resources, i.e., historically significant buildings and the character of your community. Therefore, without wishing to interfere with local determination, but in support of your citizens who have requested our review, we wish to let you know that Nevada City, as a historic mining town in an unspoiled natural setting, is important to all the people of the State of California. We hope that this importance can be preserved by a relocation of the freeway where it will not cut through the very heart of your community with the resultant destruction, and still provide adequate egress and ingress, which we understand is feasible. We urge you to guard well those irreplaceable cultural resources which constitute so great a potential wealth, culturally and economically. The criteria in this instance should not be shortsighted economy and exped. ; We are— definitely also against the freeway as proinconceivable thet seon.a thought ever orie—to cut through this “MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT” Sincerely, 300 persons.

It was _a miserably hot day and juror after juror asked to be excused. It looked like they simply could not get a jury, when a convivial member of the bar who happened to be in the courtroom said to the attorneys: “Accept me as a jury!” They did, and-the case was tried. The court called several recesses and, on each occagion, judge, counsel, and jury adjourned to a nearby salocn for mint juleps. Toward evening, all were “loaded.” Finally, the case was submitted. Since that court did not have a jury room, it was the cusom of the jury to deliberate in the courtroom and all others to go outside. Soon. the jury in this case wanted more mint juleps, which were promptly furnished. In due course he signalled all to return.

Two of its members — Justices Lyon and Bennett—first settled in Tuolumne County and dug for gold. Hastings, the chief justice, had been chief justice of Iowa’s Supreme Court in 1848. Finding the salary of California’s chief justite inadequate to meet the needs of a family of eight children, he soon resigned, became attorney general. He also engaged in the private practice of law, which was permissible for the attoney general at that time, and invested in Bay Area real estate. His ventures succeeded, and he died a multimillionnaire. That he used his wealth wisely is attested by the fact, among others, that he made a gift of $100,000 to a seaink . " the state to establish’ California’s first law school, which today bears his name. He was its first dean. Of the Mother Lede counties, Calaveras, El Dorado, Nevada and Sierra. Counties have each contributed at least one member to the Supreme Court. Tuolumne County heads the list with four, The decisions of the early court were notable for their brevity. Ironically, or should we say characteristically, as the Court expanded first to five members in 1862, and to seven members in 1879, its decisions became progressively more verbose. A decision written by Justice Heydenfelt in 1857 illustrates the brevity and pungency of the early decisions. It involved an action for ramages by a pedestrian who fell into an uncovered hole dug in the street adjoining the premises of the defendant. The trial judge had instructed the jury that the plaintiff could not recover for his injuries if his intoxication had been a_ contributing factor to his injury. The Supreme Court reversed the trial court in one short paragraph, which concluded with this gem by Heydenfelt: ; ; “A drunken man Is as much entitled to a_ safe street as a sober one, and much more in need of it.” (THE END) ANNUAL GAME Except for a change in the late deer season dates, the California Fish and Game Commission last Thursday adopted 1960 game seasons, bag limits and regulations with only minor changes from © last year and exactly as announced jin its tentative ‘‘denity will be split in two]terminations” two weeks with a potentially ugly . earlier. scar through its very center, The seasons will be as resulting in the destruction . follows: Deer: Early season, August 6 through September 25; late’ season, September 24 through November 6.
