Fritz Liedl, now a resident of San Francisco area, but recently Two Water Plans Approved Nevada City.Council took four steps forward Monday night towarda better city water system. The steps included include authorization to budget this year two water system improvement projects, installation now of tubing through the freeway bank for later pipe, increasing the size of pipe scheduled for relocation due to the freeway and a decision to apply for federal funds to help in planning an overall water system improvement project. This action took place at a special water meeting called to hear citizen complaints on the County-Wide General Plan Funds Allotted Congressman Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson announced yesterday that the federal Housing and Home Finance Agency had approved a grant of $25,186, which will be used for a general plan program for Nevada County. The plan will be undertaken cooperatively by the county, Grass Valley, and Nevada City, withthe local governments conqibuting a third of the totalcost, or an additional $12,593. It will take about two years to complete. The grant willbe administered through the State Office of Planning. The San Francisco consultant firm of Williams and Mocine will devise the plan, which will be a guide to general development in the county, under the guidance of the local authorities.

About 12 residents attended _the session which, for the most part was an.:amiable discussion’ of low pressure, muddy water and a growing impatience with the lack of action on the part of the city to correct these ills. The council members were armed with copies of a 1961 engineering survey of the water system for and plan for the renovation of the water system in the city. This plan would cost about $360,000. While council members felt the value of the information and plans contained in the report prepared by the Marysville firm of Handforth and Dawson should not be wasted, no one was able to come up with an answer as to where this kind of money could be found. It was pointed out that the city was close to its bonded indebtness limit and one spectator noted that while revenue bonds would bea good solution, he felt there would be real difficulty in selling them. All those present seemed to feel that a long term overall plan for the rejuvination ofthecity's water system was needed, but the temper of the spectators was of “lets do something now.

This prospect was opened last week when the Nevada County Supervisors authorized the. $310. oe Federal Aviation Agency pro-. ject for runway extension an county airport. Bids for the work will be received until 3 p.m. June 30. The action of the supervisors ends the negotiation and application stage and opens the way for an improvement program which should open the airport to more . , extensive use by larger planes. The federal government will contribute $167,000. This will be matched by $25, 000 in county fund plus credit of some $92,000 for existing airport facilities: $11,700 for purchase of additional property; $3000 for survey and title work and $10,000 for preliminary engineering. The project calls for extension ‘ of the present 1,225 foot paved runway to 3,900 feet; medium intensity lighting the full length of the runway, a rotating beacon, windcone, obstruction lights and relocation of the Nevada Irrigation District's Yuba and Empire reservoirs. Relocation of these reservoirs which are in the path of the runway extension was one of the last blocks to the project. This was resolved when the county and the NID came to an agreement for an exchange of property and construction of one new reservoir to replace the existing water facilities. The government specifications allow 365 days to complete the job, but if all goes well, it should becompleted much sooner. Bids will be opened June 30 and the contract must be awarded within 30 days after bid opening. Work must start 10 days after awarding of the contract. “other improvements at Loma Rica Airport To Be Dedicated The new Truckee-Tahoe Airport will be officially dedicated Saturday and Sunday and a variety of activities have been planned.
