They do not want to pay fantastic taxes to build warheads which, if used, will bring similar warheads-exploding warheads--back on their heads. Acouple of Saturdays ago in San Francisco, amobof noisy demonstrators outside the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings grabbed off all the headlines. But it should be known that on that same day, at Union Square, a silent, orderly, peaceful crowd of 3,000 including women, children, the old and the young, gathered and circled the square, todemonstrate the universal desire for peace.

As for laws and the necessary pessonnel and facilities for law enforcement, the uncertainty and inadequacy which marked this important aspect of daily living was no fault of the pioneers. Rather, it is to their credit that they brought order out of near chaos as quickly as they did. From the American occupation in 1846 until the adoption of the Constitution in November, 1849, and the enactment of laws by the, first Legislature early in 1850—a period of almost four years—and particularly from the Treaty of Hidalga in 1848, California was operating under a vague mixture of Mexican law and of decrees issued by Amerian military governors, The military governors wisely exercised their civil authority sparingly, preferring to leave to we feel disposed toorder their release upon bail.” The minutes of the Cou Sessions i County early in.1852 contain a reference to the “ex travagant rent paid by th County for the dilapidat fog hut” used as a jail at Agua Fria, then the county seat. This the rule, exception. Such inadequacies were not limited to jails. Many counties, like Mariposa, had no regular courthouse until 1854 or later. Meanwhile, as the San Joaquin Republican reported in June, 1852: “. .’ a pleasant arbor . anSwers the triple purpose of church, courthouse and town hall.” But the arbor was no doubt a greater bargain for the county than the $700 and more it paid Sheriff Burney in 1851 for the use of a part of his house condition was rather than the v pe as a courtroom.

As Nathaniel Bennett, one ated in an open yard—rain or shine. In the field of civii law, particularly the law of property, the rules of the mining districts of the Mother Lode, of which there were more than five hundred,, are a prime example of the desire of man to live in harmony under rules. known and understood by the community. This preamble to the rules adopted by the Mariopsa Quartz Conventionheld at Quartzburg in Mariposa County in’ June, first Supreme Court, wrote in his preface to Volume I of California Reports, there was no written law to guide the people and judicial of3 Je rue since April 17, when project was explained the council by The resolution follows: “Be It Resolved by the } City Council of the City of Nevada in regular adjourned meeting on the Ist day of May, 1952, that the ] City Council of said City of Nevada does recommend the adoption of the route of the new proposed highway in -Nevada County on routes 17 and 16 between % of a mile south of Grass Valley and % mile north of Nevada City, and on route 25 * between route 15 (new) and % mile west, as shown on the attached map. “Be It Further Resolved that the California.

(Approval of the Grass Valley City Council and of the Board of Supervisors was also still to be obtained.) Occupying much of the space in the Nevada CityCouncil room on May 1, 1952, was a delegation of persons from outside the city who presented a petition signed by 39 names. Mayor Ray read it aloud. It said in part: “We believe the project will benefit the economy of the community; that it will be a step ending the semiisolated status of the whole area, and will promote its growth and development. “Properties along the proposed route have been, in effect. frozen for a period of five years; no one wishing to buy or sell within a quarter of a mile of a survey 1851, illustrates this universtake.

Mrs. George Uhrig of Gold Flat spoke briefly in support of the petition and proposed route. : Dr. Chapman then had some questions to ask Mr. Sherwood, representing the Division of Highways: “Td like to know,” he asked, “if the scare that has been put into the people is true: that if they made any complaint they’d get no highway whatever. I don’t believe that. I believe the highway commission is disposed to act on the merits of a case.” Sherwood replied that Chapman was correct. He added. however, that the commission was eager to have approval for the project because the highway planners had into the plan a new road to carry heavy truck traffic around the north of the city from Highway 49 to the proposed route of the freeway. Pending construction of the freeway, this road would discharge its traffic at Uren (old Washington Street) from which trucks would move down Coyote Street and thus avoid Broad Street, -Sherwood said. Uren and Coyote Streets would be improved to carry the increased load, and Broad Street would be relinquished as a state high-. way. “Any long delay in. approving the freeway project} may interfere with this. plan,” he said, “because the} state is planning to use for, this new truck route some! Federal Aid Secondary Road funds, of which the county has not been able to avail itself. We have only until June 30, 1953. to use these funds. Quick approval would mean we could start this truck road this fall.” Chapman then posed the question: “Why do you wish to run the freeway through the Plaza when the bulk of the articles printed in the highway commission’s literature indicate that incorporated LEGAL NOTICE Berliner & Wetherall 232 Broad Street Nevada City, California Telephone: 473 Attorneys for Petitioner No. 12406 NOTICE IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF NEVADA.

He also said he believed a four-lane freeway just to Nevada City’s limits, with “feeder lines” to some of the streets, would handle traffic by permitting it to fan out where it wanted to go. He said the proposed freeway could not be entered or left by cars within the city, except at a few points. Among other questions asked of Sherwood was: “Who would pay for such approach work, the state or city?” Sherwood’ replied that the state would stand’ this expense. Emil J. Ott and Mrs. Arthur W.
