June's heat was temporarily interrupted last week with a pleasant couple days of cool. weather. The showers whichaccompanied the cool were refreshing, just not long enough. It's hard to realize that summer is really just getting started and everything is so terribly dry already. * * * Al and Velta Vincent and sons Brian and Keith returned this last weekend from a tripto Oregon. They stopped in Klamath Falls and visited with Tom and Eva Hill, former residents of Easy Street. From there they went on to Crater Lake where they reported there was still some snow on the ground, Their destination was Diamond Lake, Oregon. There they all caught their limit of fish every day.

The application of sales tax to the purchase of gasoline and similar fuels comes as a result of Governor Ronald Reagan's having signed into law in December Senate Bill 325 passed by the 1971 Legislature. The State Board of Equalization, which administers thc state sales and use tax law said that service station operators already have received from the board regulations for administering the tax on retail sales of gasoline. The sales tax applies to the total selling price of retail sales of gasoline, including the 4 per cent per gallon federal excise tax and the 7 cents per gallon state motor vehicle fuel tax. In other words, if the price of a gallon of gasoline is 40-9/10 cents, including the 11 cents federal and state taxes, the 5 per cent sales tax on top of that posted price will\bring the total to 42-9/10 cents per gallon. 8 The Nevada County Nugget Wednesday, June 28, @OOOOOSMSOOML CECOMECCOPMOO!

We were asked this question the other day in connection with a discussion of the dedication of the facility that will save an estimated 10 to 21 million king salmon fingerlings annually. The screen was built at a point on the Sacramento River where the Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District diverts up to 2,700 cubic feet per second of water to irrigate about 150,000 acres of land, most of it in rice. Until the screen was completed and placed in operation, young downstream migrants were swept into the district's canal system--65 miles of main canal and 400 miles of laterals-. and they died in fields and lateral canals when the water dropped. "Why don't the water diverters pay for the screen?" we were asked. "They are causing the problem and should pay to save the fish.” These are good questions. In the first place, the law (Section 6100 of the Fish and Game Code) now requires that owners of new diversions of water from streams having populations of salmon and steelhead that might be affected by the diversions must screen the streams at their own expense. But at the time work was authorized on the Glenn-Colusa Fish Screen more than two years ago the law had not taken effect and our department had to depend on Fish & Game funds and those of federal agencies to finance the work. Until 1965, when Congress passed the Anadromous Fish Act, we were on our own so far as financing the screening of smaller diversions was concerned. The code directed that we had to assume financial responsibility for building, operating and maintaining screens on irrigation diversions of less than 250 cubic feet per second. Costs were shared between the department and the diverter on water diversions greater than 250 cfs. With the passage of the Anadromous Fish Act, however, we were given the financial assistance of the federal government on a matching-fund basis. Another reason why~sportsmen's funds went to help build the Glenn-Colusa Fish Screen was that the irrigation district previously had screened the diversion. Although the screen served only to block the passage of debris and large fish into the pumping plant and then into the canal, this was considered acceptable when it was proposed a quarter of a century ago. Funds for our 50 percent share of the cost of building the screen came from sport fishing license revenues and from commercial fishing permit fees and taxes. The other 50 percent of the cost was shared equally. by two federal agencies, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries service. ‘Operation and maintenance costs are being shared equally by the department and the Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District as the law provides. We are extremely proud of our fish screen program, particularly in view of the high return it provides in terms of maintaining runs in-the Sacramento-San Joaquin system and in building the commercial ocean fishery. The program has the highest cost-benefit ration of any of our projects. The Glenn-Colusa installation, as a case in point, will return its investment within three years, -We feel this is sportsmen's funds. well spent. What do you think?
