Penalty to the Majority Over Delay Hits Local Recreation Bonds
The county board of supervisors granted 400 day continuance for Halcyon and Foothill Manor withdrawal requests, delaying a $3,910,000 Hayward district bond election beyond September 28. The postponement risks lost recreation sites, higher costs for builders, and penalties to taxpayers who will vote later, while delaying funding for district recreation projects.

Fee Splitting Can Have Its Good Points Too
An Iowa physician told AMA delegates in San Francisco that fee combining, the practice of a single bill for a family doctor, surgeon, and anesthetist, could be ethical in certain cases. He argued for patient choice and clarified that combined billing should occur only on request or under non profit insurance requirements. The piece notes public unease with fee splitting and counters that, with transparent itemized charges, a combined bill can aid patients while avoiding stigma.

Controversy Over Emerald Bay Lands Taints California State Purchase
California lawmakers debate channeling 70 million dollars from federal tide land funds into the general fund as the Beach and Parks division expands around Emerald Bay and Lake Tahoe. The state has spent nearly 500000 dollars on 31.93 acres bought from J W Watson, who then leased back the property for 3000 dollars a year. Watson operates an office, restaurant and other facilities on the site while Matuchansky gains a boathouse and cabins for 200 dollars a year. The state also assumes maintenance of water and sewer, and Vikingsholm castle is among acquired assets. Development prospects are limited by steep terrain, with plans for some south shore camping and picnicking areas.
