One of the state's most popular and widely distributed game birds, the California or valley quail occurs in almost every county. Other species which also may be taken during the general season are the mountain and Gambel's quail. The chukar partridge, a nonresident introduced from _ the Himalayan foothills in the 1930s, hias become well established in most arid regions of the state but remains somewhat underhunted in spite of outstanding sport and table qualities. Both seasons continue through Jan. 31, except that the season on quail will close in 11 north coast and northern counties on Jan. 3. The counties are Marin, Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt, Del Norte, Trinity, Shasta, Siskiyou, Lassen and Modoc.

Quail and chukar hunters must possess a valid 1970 hunting license, but need not have special stamps or tags. WATERFOWL EXCELLENT ON PUBLIC AREAS Opening day shooting was excellent on the nine state and federal waterfowl areas that were open to hunting, the Department of Fish and Game reports. Totals for the openers on Oct. 10 and 17 showed 3,894 hunters used the areas and took 16,949 ducks, 21 geese, and-72 coots -a total of 17,042 birds or 4.4 per hunter. Last year the public areas produced an opening day bag of 14,268 birds by 3,491 hunters for an average of 4. 1, The state's Mendota Wildlife Area offered the best opening day this year with a whopping 5.6 birds per hunters and a 4,6 average for the full weekend. The DFG reminds hunters that the limits. on ducks are seven per day and seven in possession throughout most ofthe state under the liberalized 1970 framework. Only the Colorado River area and northeastern California have limits of six and12. Of the public waterfowl areas, only the state's Honey Lake Wildlife Area in Lassen county has the 6 and 12 rule. Other state areas and the federal areas are under the 7 and 7 limitations. Six more state and federal public areas will open to waterfowl hunters Saturday. They are the state's Gray Lodge Wildlife Area and the Sacramento, Delevan, Colusa, Sutter and Merced national wildlife areas. The latest waterfowl population survey, flown Oct. 14, showed nearly four million birds now in California, with thousands more arriving daily. Of the 3,082,549 ducks counted, 1,986, 100 were pintails and 320, 515 were mallards, with 775, 925 representing other species and unclassified birds, The count on geese was 467,835 and on coots 390,545, The greatest numbers-nearly two million ducks and a haif million geese -were tallied on the Tule Lake and Lower Klamath refuges. Recent storms have started these birds moving southward. beara PIGEON SEASON WILL END Hunters are reminded by the Department of Fish and Game ~ that the band-tailed pigeon sea-son for the northern area clos. es Sunday, Nov. 1.

This remark was wale by Councilman Bob.

City Manager Beryl Robinson said he intends to place the permit in the mail to San Francisco postal authorities Friday if the planning commission approves it. These last steps are being taken rapidly because, as Paine put it, "we are fighting for money many other communities also are fighting for." Apparently funds to build post offices ~are in short supply at the moment, and Nevada City officials were urged to get their final action to San Francisco as quickly as possible. Paine, Robinson, Mayor John Rankin and David Osborne, an interested citizen, met. with-postal officials Monday to discuss some. new design changes the planning commission desired. However, because of the difficulty with money, there was reluctance to delay the designs further. Paine, who is council officer on this project, said he will explain the postal views in detail to the commission, He said the postal officials did agree to use gas lights on the exterior to conform with the new Bank of America across the street. Paine added that "the planning commission studied the design again last week and proposed some — additional changes. At that meeting, Commissioner Paul Webster felt the post office "made an honest if uninspired effort to conform to the requirements of the historical district.” Webster's new recommendations, with which the commission agreed, were to incorporate a balcony on the structure and to heighten the false front shown on the sketch. "It's a typical post office which could be built anywhere and doesn't add much to what we are trying to maintain or create in Nevada City," Webster said in referring to the elongated structure shown on the sketch, However, Webster agreed that "it does have some gold country type features, including brick construction and black metal doors and windows," "We don't have authority to get too . tough. The ordinance controls the materials which must conform with Mother Lode type architecture," Chairman William Lambert warned his colleagues. He said the materials do conform.

The city and some of its citizens have pursued a downtown post office site inan effort to keep the business core of Nevada City active, Paine said. The councilman traced the history of the pursuit of ‘the post office, saying that innumerable meetings were held, the project manager has changed five times and that there has been a change in administration in Washington D.C, since negotiations began. . "There have been struggles with officials concerning the building site,” he claimed. He explained how the officials. were made aware that "Nevada City is full of miners" trails," and that "everything is haywire here.” i "We have passed the historical ordinance to protect the beauty and the glory of the town, but we are now at the point of a great struggle," he said. Post office officials understand their “legal obligations toward the historical ordinance, contended the city councilman, as he urged commissioners not to become enmeshed: in details. which could delay the project here. -Paine hoped that the department would accept the commission's recommendations but alsq hoped that nothing would jeopardize the project. There are 600 post offices being. pushed in California and Nevada City is in alist of 80 with top priorities, Paine said. He warned, "Time is of the essence." Paine credited the. Nevada Company with. giving many man hours and dollars toward building a post office on a downtown site to preserve the core of the business district. He claimed that Nevada City pioneered an historical ordinance and that other areas have followed its pattern. However, he said, and commissioners agreed, that the ordinance needs strengthening. He suggested that steps to "put teeth in it" be taken in the future. Webster admitted to "split feelings”. He believed the beauty of the city should be preserved and that “the little guy and the Bank of America and the post office should be treated alike." "If the ordinance is unworkable it should be revoked, We never can define the type of architecture (Mother Lode) in an ordinance." However, I hate to see a building project interfered with --but I hate to tell small business how big a sign it can have and let the Bank of America and other do whatever they damn please,” he said.
