New highway -.County to oppose closing agriculture inspection stations * The ordered closure of all of California's border inspection stations could cause serious problems, Nevada County Agricultural Commissioner John Phillips warned Wednesday. Phillips urged that the board of supervisors oppose the closures announced recently by the State Agricultural Department. The agricultural inspection station at Truckee would be phased out by mid-1972, It is the only one in Nevada county. The supervisors responded by ordering that a resolution be prepared in opposition. It will be sent to California legislators who represent Nevada county and to the state agricultural commissioner. Phillips ridiculed the proposed alternate to the stations-waiting until a disease is discovered in California plants, then trying to eradicate it. A statewide inspection system is envisioned to find the diseases early. He contended this system will not be less expensive and indicated it could create serious disease problems, which is what the inspection stations are there to prevent. Phillips called the inspection stations "a more positive answer" than a statewide system of trying to catch diseased plants after they enter the state. He contended "many shipments would arrive in California undetected." “TEONARD F.
