During those brief seconds, the Nevada County Budget Goes dly Over $5 Million Nevada County Supervisors Tuesday approved a preliminary 1965-66 budget of $5,155,632. The final budget approved by the supervisors last year was $4,916, 756. Although most of the increase is attributable to normal growth and expenses of county government, the supervisors have added some new programs which account for a good part of the increase, . Included in this category is the contribution to the new humane shelter program in Grass Valley of $40,000. The board also budgeted for four new deputies for the sheriff's department at a cost of $25,000 to $30,000, increased the operating reserves from $100,000 to $150,000, budgeted $45 ,000 for construction of a taxi strip at Loma Rica Airport and $80,000 for renovation of the old courthouse, The board is expected to get the new County assessment roll by July 6 and will then start sitting as a board of equalization. The budget has to be published and made available for public inspection by August 10, Budget hearings will start August 20 and may be continued no longer than 10 days, The final budget must be adopted not later than August 31 and the tax rate must be set on or before September 30, Weather NEVADA CITY Max, Min, Rainfall June 17 713 49 .03 18 56 46 ~2k 19 76 48 20 82 50 21 87 53 trace 22 83 53 23 $1 °° $1 Rainfall to date 70.05 Rainfall last year 38.50 GRASS VALLEY Max.

The three leaders were hotly pursued by a pack of about eight to 10 other finishers, Nevada City racers riding under the colors of the Golden Wheelmen did well in the race, Dave Green, although he didnot place, finished the grueling 45 mile event even though many of the Seasoned veterans dropped out.

NID Recreation Grant May Be Held Up By State Dispute (Continued from Page 1) out inthe law regarding grants for water and sanitary facilities. To prove their point, the commission established a cutoff date and recently refused to rule on a grant application for the Lopez project in San Luis Obispo County and returned the matter to Water Resources Director William Warne, Because of this dispute, the prospects look good that this is what will happen to the NID request and the district now finds itself in not only a jurisdictional dispute, but a time problem. A spokesman for water resources said last week that if the NID grant application was dumped back into Warne's lap, it might be six months before the district could expect any final action on the request. In the middle of this dispute is hidden the additional possibility that the district's request may be Cut considerably by a newlydevised formula for figuring recreation benefits which has been devised by water resources, The NID's recreation feasibility report and application for recreation funds were figured on the old benefits formula, but the new rules could cut sharply into the benefits and therefore sharply decrease the amount of the grant. The district initially received legislative approval for a $3.5 million grant under a bill auithored by former Assemblyman Paul J. Lunardi. In addition to this the district asked for $875,000 for water and sanitary facilities, Changes in state regulations last year allowed the district to apply for an additional $1,250,000 in grant funds, The legislature, in its closing session June 18 approved SB 1152 authored by Senator Lunardi authorizing water resources to make a grant to the district of $4,750,000. Withthe figure for water and Sanitary facilities, the total will hit $5,625,000. Edwin Koster, Manager of the NID and a member of the State Water Commission, was making no predictions this week on how much the district will finally receive although he did say he thought it would be below the total request of $5,625,000, Koster said the commission feels that the law is clear that they have no jurisdiction to rule on Davis-Grunsky ‘grants authorized by the legislature and he pre~ dicted that the question of the NID grant, with the exception of the figure for water and sanitation, would be returned to Warne for a decision, When that decision will be made is anybody's guess at this time, S96T ‘5% ounf* ° *1938nN Ayuno5 BpPASN”* ee Ww
