e s't' 8 §.9 @ Publisher R, M, Wyckoff ..... Cirenlation Manager Second class postage paid at Nevada City, Calif. Adjudicated a legal newspaper of general circulation by the Nevada Superior Court, June 3, -1960 Decree No. 12, 406 Subscription Rates: One year, $3.00; Two years, $5.00. Three years, $7.00. Printed by Berliner & Mc Ginnis, Nevada City. EDITORIAL OpposingSidesJoin On Freeway Ballot The Nevada City Council's "unofficial" approval of a city-wide vote to measure public sentiment concerning the downtown or other freeway routes is a victory not . for one side or the other, but for all the people. There has been a growing interest in holding sucha vote. We are pleased that the registered voters of the town will be able to express themselves on this issue once and for all. As we stated in an editorial on April 6, "ultimately the de. cision rests right in Nevada City." The upcoming vote will surely constitute a . big step toward that decision, for in any community the voice of the people is supreme. We are particularly heartened by the fact that Dick Knee and Bob Paine have agreed, jointly, to head a citizens board of control toconduct the ballot. Outsiders have repeatedly contended that Nevada City is irreparably “split down the middle" by the two factions. That Paine and Knée, leaders of opposing sides, can get together for the good of the town gives the lie to such contentions. Both men, we are certain, are motivated by a desire to see the matter settled honorably. The ballot without doubt will be scrupulously fair, in accordance with standard election procedures. This fact will redound to their credit, and that of the town. Avoiding Taxes? A press release "To All Southern California Press"recently shed some light on the thinking on supporters of Prop. 15; the measure on the Nov. 8 ballot which wouldreapportion the State Senate to the advantage of Los Angeles County. Inthe release a Los Angeles businessman, Holmes Tuttle, claimed that "31 mountain counties receive from the state three times the moriey they pay to the general fund." The L.A. auto dealer charged that the small counties (that includes us in Nevada County) "use the surplus state money they receive to avoid local taxes." Tuttle would find it hard toconvince Nevada County residents their taxes were lower than should be. He would findthat here ina "cow county” the residents feel the tax bite just as strongly as do Los Angelenos. Nevada County has just cause to strongly object to this charge. The State of California requires that assessment of property for taxation in all of the state's counties be onan equalized basis. The state has the power to increase assessments where counties tall ott the state average. Whereas the state average assessed valuation is 22.6% of market value, Nevada County assessments run 23.3% of market value. And how about Los Angeles County? ---23.3%, too. That is not eventhe complete story, for Los Angeles County assessments result in a multi-million dollar government while Nevada County must pinch pennies each month to stretch the budget in order to handle necessary services. One further truth. Prop 15 is nothing more than an attempt by some Southern Californians to make a grab of Senate seats belonging to the north. It is an attempt which if successful would undermine the basic governmental concept of one legislative branch responsive to the public on @ population basis (the Assembly) with the second legislative branch responsive to slides 35 mm. in size, would help. your readers might have some 35 mm. slides which I might borrow long enough to have copies made for classroom: use. These could be close-ups or distant shots of a variety of forest fire subjects. Thank you in advance. Yours sincerely, Grant W. Sharpe. Assistant.
