Businesses Continued to Reduce
Inventories in January Analysts say that the
stage has been set for such a
rebound given how lean inventories
are at present after a significant
inventory liquidation during the
recession. Inventories at the
wholesale level have fallen for 13
consecutive months and have been
down 15 of the last 17 months. The
only gains in wholesale inventories
occurred in October and November.

Agratourism And Our General Plan
I suppose I should shut up and finish out my days but from time to time screw ball things occur in Mariposa County that I feel the need
to comment on. This addition of Agra Tourism to the General Plan in the form that is being considered is not at all as important as the
time and money that has been spent on it... Agratourism And Our General Plan

I have been privileged to know many interesting characters who came to Mariposa during my almost 70 years of residence. Being the son of the village pharmacist I spent most of my youth downtown, sweeping out the Drug Store and sidewalks etc. But none of this class of visitors was more intelligent or at times inserted themselves into the daily life of our community than Ken Gosting.

Understanding County Government VII
Government as we know it has made many changes during the last 40 years.
Perhaps the greatest change that occurred was when Howard Jarvis and
Paul Gann got together in Southern California and formed a committee of
apartment owners which sponsored a ballot measure called the Jarvis/Gann
intuitive.

Understanding County Government VI
Land use planning is one of those items that the framers of the
constitution left out, probably intentionally. The Constitution of
the United States does leave a few areas of life to the States, and thus
to the local governments. While we do adopt a land use General Plan, it
is designed along lines dictated by the State government.

My friend and partner in history, Jack D. “Scott” Pinkerton,
passed away this last week in Madera after an eventful and very busy
life.
We often talked about his life growing up, being in WWII, and returning
to Mariposa to marry Beverly Preston, kiddingly we called
her our babysitter.
