The November 5 election is
just a few days off and a new
committee has come to the support of Nevada Irrigation District's two loans which will be
up for voter approval,
The Citizens League for Effective Action Now (CLEAN)
backs both Proposition "A", the
$4,950,000 Bureau of Reclamation loan, and Proposition ''B",
the $3,500,000 Davis-Grunsky
(State) loan.
CLEAN has for its co-chairmen from Placer county Dr.
Gordon Seck, C. C, Winter and
Ray Thompson and from Nevada
county Dr. C, Jackson Rayburn
and R. Peter Ingram.
They say that opposition to
the NID management used
against the loans is groundless,
that the important issues are:
The loans are needed now, that
they present reasonable finanP

Grab 45 in county narco drive.
Some 45 persons--adults and
minors--were arrested in a
massive law enforcement
move by officers of four counties and four cities who had
been investigating marijuana and
other narcotics activities in Nevada county for about six weeks,
Ages of those booked in the
roundup which took several days
ranged 14 to 38. The adult arrests were based on grand jury
indictments handed down Friday
and kept secret until arrests
were made,
Eighteen of the young people
arrested were partying in the
garage at a Bitney Springs home
when law officers swooped down
on them. A 17 year old girl
reportedly had rented the place
a few days before the raid.
The roundoup taxed jail and
juvenile hall facilities, and represented the work of teams of
officers from Butte, Sutter 71d
Placer as well as Nevada counties and Nevada City, Grass
Valley, Oroville and Gridley,
fanning out over a wide area
from Grass Valley and Nevada
City to Chicago Park, to Bitney
Springs and North San Juan,
As the activities of police increased several arrests were
made in downtown Grass Valley,
Monday: afternoon.
The Nevada County Narcotics
Squad arranged the surprise attack. Police officers from.Chico,
Orland, Gridley and Oroville
and sheriff's deputies from Placer, Butte, and Sutter counties
assisted local police and sher“iff's departments in the first
raid of this size and scope in
this county.
Nine of the arrests were made
on bench warrants stemming
from grand jury indictments,
Sheriff Wayne Brown and Dist.
Atty. Harold A, Berlinex said
the grand jury met until 2:30
a.m. Friday to hand down the
indictments, Superior Court
Judge Vernon Stoll returned to
the courthouse at 1:45 a.m. to
set bails.
Shortly after 11 p.m. teams
began reporting back to the jail,
some bringing prisoners with
them, The first cars which returned carried four to five officers and only one prisoner per
team,
Brown and Berliner expressed
satisfaction with results and
credited excellent cooperation
among departments involved
with much of the success of the
venture. They anticipate future
raids could produce even more
far reaching and beneficial résults,
The cooperative spirit was
evident throughout the long vigil.
Officers, men and women, showed signs of fatigue. However they
appeared patient with each other
schedules, and that the State
Board of Public Health insists
that NID provide pure water
regardless of financing. The two
loans present the: best possible
means of providing proper
transmission lines and treatment plants, The League says.
On the other side ofthe
picture, the Citizens Advisory
Committee created by NID's
board of directors to study dis} trict problems and make recom# mendations, has voted 17 to 5
} against the Bureau loan and for
the Davis-Grunsky loans, the
latter provided certain commitments are made by the board
of directors prior to election,
and their youngprisonersduring were booked into jail because
