A Bridge Is Built Workmen are now putting the finishing touches on Nevada City's famous Broad Street Bridge. By the time this paper reaches you traffic should be pouring across it and people along Broad Street who have suffered so long will be looking forward to days of good business again. Started about a year ago, the bridge across famed Deer Creek has been beset with troubles and delays. First the foundations were a problem and then when work was going at an accelerated clip, ZOOM the newly poured concrete just over the creek gave way and 11 workers were injured. There was a delay, then more workand then the rains came in torrents. Earl '"Bud'' Woods, the construction foreman in charge of the project never gave up As he told Rotarians at a recent meeting; 'We are going to finish this bridge on schedule, you can bet on it!" Then I am going home for a long rest, be back in the spring to finish the highway it's been a tough job, but we are doing it." Bud was true to his word and now at long last, we have our bridge in all it's slory and truly it looks nice. We are proud of it. When you have time, take astrolland walk over it. The scenery is nice and think well on what it takes to build a bridge. We wonder if the following poem, whichis one of our favorites would not be quite appropriate at this time ? We dedicate to ''Bud'"' Woods who would not give up.. An old man going a lone highway Came at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm vast amd wide and steep, With waters rolling cold and deep. The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near, "You are wasting your strength with building here. Your journey will end with the ending day, You nevex again will pass this way. You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide, Why build you this bridge at eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head. "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said, "There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. The chasm that was as nought to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim-Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."

Blake, pulled a''Brownie" and moved the appointment of S tortz toa post on the Planning Commission. This action was passed byavoteof4to0. After the Board reconvened, supervisor elect "Bill" Thomas spoke on a point of personal privilege and protested the previous action. He asked the Board to reconsider their action and make the usual investigation preliminary to such appointments. He did not object to Stortz but was adamant in the manner in which the action was taken, The term to which Stortz ‘was named was the unexpired two and one-half years of McWhinney's term. The post on the recreation commission was not filled at this meeting. Thomas informed the board that he felt very strongly about this, and that he did not object to the appointee, only the manner in which the appointment was made. He asked that his objection be placed in the minutes of the Board.
