2 The Nevada County Nugget Wed., Nov. 7, 1973 [Notes Off The Cuff Motor vehicle By P. 1. I got a kick out of this item from an Arizona newspaper sent to me by a friend who belongs to the Navajo Indian tribe in that state. It reads: ‘“‘Arizonans are in a quandary over a situation created by reported plans of Navajo Indians to build a Vegastype casino on their land in this state; the crunch coming because Arizona prohibits gambling, but has no jurisdiction over Indians on their own land who are federal wards.” A case of ‘‘if you can’t lick ’em, join ’em’’ one might say. A Nevada City couple, and they shall remain nameless for obvious reasons, a’boating went on San Francisco Bay recently. Nothing unusual about that sort of weekend activity.but this particular pair of ‘‘salt of the earth” citizens had a most amazing encounter with a “monster” on those tossing waters which they’ll long remember. As they rounded a curve alongshore and sailed out into some fingers of fog, their little boat almost ‘‘touched noses”. with a strange vessel which looked like two big sausages riding tandem. Now these folks aren’t the drinking type and are considered pretty unflappable by their close friends and nieghbors.but, at their first glance towards that “creature”, they_ admitted to almost dissolving into a state of panic! As it turned out, there wasn’t anything to be frightened about.the thing they met up with was a new U. S. Coast Guard oil-spill machine designed to recover up to 60,000 galions an hour.

Nevada county oTrows rapidly If you think there are more people in Nevada county than there used to be, you are correct. — Statistics compiled by the planning department reveal a 44 per cent population increase since 1963, when the fairly stable population began to boom. Former Acting Planning Director David Porter released “population estimates’’ before leaving here to accept the planning directorship of an Oregon county. He said the figures were compiled from building permit activities, school enrollments and active electrical meters. “Nevada county is experiencing a very rapid growth — and the shocker is that it is occurring in the western and’ southwestern portions of the county rather than in the cities,’’ he said. He called it a “shocker” because of a lack of proper services where the population increase is greatest. He specifically mentioned lack of water and sewage systems and roads, which are not up: to the standard demanded by the population density. ‘The people may not have faced up to this yet, but they must,”’ he said. This county has had an increase in the “older” age group with the average median being 37 years as compared to the state median of 30 years. Between 1960 and 1970 the statistics showed that there has been a five per cent increase of people 62 years or older in the county. The number of school children is just above equal to the state average. Surprisingly Grass Valley and Nevada City, the only incorporated cities within the county, show a very little population increase between 1970 and 1973. Nevada City with a population of 2,134 in April of 1970 gained only 36 citizens (a two per cent increase) up to July of 1973, when the number was reported to be 2,350. And in 1973 there were not as many people on the roster as in 1940 when Nevada City boasted a population of 2,495. Grass Valley gained 21 people between 1970 and 1973, an increase of four per cent. In April of 1970 Grass Valley had 5,149 residents ad in July of 1973 the population had risen to 5,170. Like Nevada City, Grass Valley proper has less people than in 1940 when Porter’s figures reflect there were 5,701 residents. Grass Valley has almost doubled its geographical size since 1940. This has been accomplished through annexation, Porter said. In 1940 Grass Valley was confined to a square mile. Today it is two square miles — give or takealittleground. y The freeway has taken bites out of both Grass Valley and Nevada City; and time has caused the demolition or deterioration of some houses of the gold rush era. ; Currently Grass Valley is experiencing a ‘‘building boom.” Porter said there are several hundred new homes, condominiums and mobilehome accommodations ready for occupancy. But, they are not yet occupied. The eastern portion of the county has experienced a 27 per cent growth factor in the past three years. The 1970 estimated population of 2,528 had jumped to 3,000 by 1973. This represents a gain of 672 residents or 27 per cent population increase, Porter said. Nevada county population estimates from April 1970 to 1973 are: Addition Per cent addition April 1970 July 1973 1970-73 1970-73 Nevada City _ 2,314 2,300 plus 36 2 per cent Grass Valley 5,149 5,170 plus 21 4 per cent Northwest co. 3,950 4,800 plus 850 22 per cent West co. ~ 3,062 4,100 plus 1,038 34 per cent South co. 3,457 4,800 plus 1,343 39 per cent Colfax Hwy. 4,701 5,600 plus 899 19 per cent East co. 2,528 3,000 plus 672 27 per cent Alta Hill 1,185 1,280 plus 95 8 per cent Sierra blasts hapless Napa College, 52-0 NAPA — The Sierra College Wolverines rolled over Napa 520 Saturday to win their second Golden Valley Conference Sierra is now 2-2 in league play and they have a chance to represent the conference in the junior college small division playoffs following the season: Jim Brazil and Jeff Ruth rushed for 135 yards between them as Sierra mounted a solid ground attack that flattened Napa. Sierra rushed for 204 yards on the ground. Redwood and Butte lead the conference with one loss apiece and Sierra, Yuba and Shasta are tied at two wins and two losses. Butte faces.two hard games before the season ends and Sierra plays Redwood in the final game of the year. If Butte loses one of its games, to Siskiyou or Shasta, and if Sierra beats Redwood that could set up a three or four way tie for first place. Score by quarters: Sierra: 14 10 7 21-52 Napa 000 00
