\Fo Senate
On Project
GRASS VALLEY ---Nevada
Irrigation District officials
continue to study the financial status of the Yuba-Bear
River Project, hoping to find
the means by which available
funds can be made to stretch
to cover the construction
costs of the project.
In the meantime, legislation to allow the district to
negotiate with the low bidder
is speeding through the state
legislature. The measure
passed the Assembly yesterday andistentatively scheduled for Senate committee
hearing Monday.
Construction bids on the
project were more than $8
million above district estimates, some $6 million or
more above available district
funds,
Ed K oster indicated this
week that the district will
likely issue a call for new
bids Monday, in the hope
that construction firms will
be more competitive in bidding again.
Inthe event that negotiation is allowed under the
pending legislation, and is
successful, then the call for
bids will be withdrawn.
The district feels that both
bidders were out of line in
their bids.
To date, the district's
board is holding firm to the
belief that the full project
canbe financed with existing funds, There is no. indication that the project will
be pared.LOW ALTITUDE JUMPER...The Tahoe National Forest showed how low altitude

. of a city that its sporadic
freeway controversy can be
settled finally will rest on
the Nevada City Council tonight as the council continues discussion on the modified scenic plan in comparison with the original state
plan.
Engineers of the state-and
the Deleuw, Cather Company, who prepared the
scenic plan, will be on hand
to answer council questions
relative to the two plans.
The scenic plan---a ‘fourlane freeway, but without
ramps on Broad St. --evolved in the last five
months from a two-lane
scenic plan presented to the
council by Councilman Arch
McPherson,
The DeLeuw, Cather report explained the moving
oframps off Broad St., “The
state's plan concentrates traffic onBroad Street while the
alternative plan provides
better distribution of traffic
on existing city streets, We
believe that provision of
direct ramps to Broad Street
is not necessary or desireable.”
DeLeuw, Cather engineers
worked with state engineers
in Sacramento to insure the
feasibility of the scenic plan.

Herb Perry, Penryn trustee, voiced the feeling of

Before Council
For City Decision
scenic plan if the city gave
its official approval was
giventhecity last week in a
letter from Frank A. Chambers, chief deputy director
of the California Department
of Public Works.
Chambers also assured the
city that there would be no
delay in the freeway.
A resolution prepared by
Councilman McPherson was
read tothe council. Councilman Craig Davies said he
wasready to move for adoption of the scenic plan, but
agreed to delay until this
week after Mayor Robert Carr
and Councilman Ben Barry
requested that engineers be
present to answer questions
before a vote was taken.
Councilman Davies, in
agreeing to the delay, requested that an engineer
other than Alan Hart be requested to be sent from the
Division of Highways. .
During the five month interim in which the scenic
plan has evolved, Highways
20 and 49 through Nevada
City have been designated as
scenic highways under the
State Scenic Highway System, needing only legislative approval to make the
designation official.
