Teale Explains What Went Into Reapportionment Reapportionment, the reasons why, and what happened to it in California ,was discussed last Thursday by Senator Stephen Teale at the annual corned beef and cabbage dinner of the Gold Quartz Democratic Club in Grass Valley.

Other candidates atthe dinner included Jack Barker of Auburn, candidate for the Sixth Assembly District seat, Lou Hartman candidate for the board of supervisors; District Attorney Harold A. Berliner; Leo Todd, candidate for district attomey and auditor John T, Trauner. ° Teale told the group of about 50 that the reapportionment decision was prompted by the southern states because of the attempt of their. legislators to perpetuate themselves in office and their failure to recognize or deal with urban sprawl, Teale, who was chairman of the Senate reapportionment committee which finally came up with an acceptable plan, said in California, the legislature had been highly successful in dealing with’ current problems as well as looking ahead to the future. He said the job of those charged with formulating a reapportionment plan was to create districts with the required amount of population while at the same time trying to keep apart counties or areas with antagonisms over natural resources, Teale told the audience that the close contact of voters with their representatives will be gone under the new plan (Continued on Page 3) mittee for the County General Plan met lastnight in the Nevada City Veterans Hall for a first discussion meeting on the preliminary sketch plan. The plan prepared and presented by the staff of the county's planning consultants of Williams, Cook and Mocine of San Francisco, is the first overall plan prepared to show how the county's resources in land, water and urban development can be best arranged to accomodate the needs of its future resident, seasonal and recreational population. It also shows how to combine the objectives stated by the citizens committee with the needs generated by growth and change. Population projections show a middle range of 90,000 by the year 2,000 and a high range of 107,700. The plan estimates that 47,000 to 53,000 people may reside in western Nevada County by 1990 and 12,500 in the eastern end, Because <@f the reports of the citizens committee emphasizing theneedto maintain the existing character of the county, the plan recommends that urban -type development should occur within and around existing urban areas.

According to Leonard Loyd, Secretary -treasurer of the Retail Clerks Union No, 17, one line was picketing See Howe, Inc., against See's furniture store to obtain union wages and benefits. According to the union official, two negotiation meetings were held and then negotiations broke down. The second picket line was against SPD Market and owner Lawrence Painter for alleged violations of the existing contract between the store and the union. According to Loyd, both picket lines and both actions were separate and would be resolved separately. Painter moved quickly to resolve his dispute. By afternoon he had obtained a show cause order from the Nevada Couhty Superior Court and an accompanying order restraining the union from picketing, interfering with business or deliveries or interfering with or keeping employees from working. The union is restrained from these activities until the show cause hearing scheduled for Apsil 4, At that time theunion will be required to show cause why they should not be enjoined from striking or picketing the establishment, The first picket line was gone Tuesday, but two pickets were still walking the line in front of the furniture part of the combined store.
