Motel Installation
Major S. G. Haubtman has announced that he has withdrawn
his plans for building a new 40
unit motel next to the Highway
Patrol office on Highway’ 20, between Grass Valley and Nevada
City, due to being unable to obtain proper sewage outlets, Major
Haubtman stated that he endeavored to find some satisfactory
solution to his problem from the’
Grass Valley City Council, the
Nevada County Board of Supervisors, and. the planning.commission, without any immediate success. He did receive a letter from
the Nevada County Planning
Commission; which stated, in
part:
“In view of the fact that you
have been unable in direct dealings with the Grass Valley City
Council to reach a_ satisfactory
solution, it would seem as if the
problem was part of the generally
unsatisfactory situation on practically the entire area between
the city limits and the Town Talk
Ridge. An intelligent solution of
this whole problem would. require
for engineering studies alone a
sum far beyond the total budget
of the Planning Commission.
However, if we have a chance to
talk it over with you perhaps we
could make some suggestions of
value. As you are probably aware,
an attempt merely to form a
sewer district in this area was
defeated some years ago by a
three-to-one vote. Perhaps it
would be: different now.”
Major Haubtman appeared before the planning commission
to inform the members that he
is foreed te abandon his plans
for building a new motel at this
location at this time due to not
being able to obtain satisfactory
sewage outlets. The planning
commission didnot offer any
solution to the problem at the
time.

After much spirited bidding for
this prime Angus steer, Earll
Shine, representing Alpha Hardware Store, gave the closing bid
of 41 cents per pound.
Ken Casper, the exhibitor of
the champion 4-H prime steer,
sold his steer to C.P:A. Tractor
Company of Marysville for 41
cents per pound.
“Don Daniel’s choice Hereford
steer was purchased by Tony
Freitas for Loma Rica Ranch at
42 cents per pound,
Lori Trubschenck, 4-H girl
from North San Juan showing a
well fitted top choice Hereford
was more prosperous when the
closing bid of 42 cents per pound,
the Peacock Ranch, resulted in
the sale of her animal.
A. & H. Development liked
the looks of K. Chesney’s Red
Angus steer and gave the closing
bid of 42 cents per pound.
After having bid on all the previous animals, Don Gates, representing the Yuba River Lumber
Company, got the closing bid of
41 cents per pound on David
Casper’s choice steer.
The bankers couldn’t let the
lumber companies, the hardware
stores, and the ranchers get ahead
of them, so Willard Rose, Nevada
City Bank of America, was the
buyer at 41 cents per pound of
Dave Tanner’s choice steer.
Not to be outdone’ by his colleague, Herb Toudy, manager of
the Grass Valley Bank of America, purchased Pat Conway’s
