Mendocino Sees Meager Highway Funds Amid Regional Snubs
Mendocino county receives eighty thousand dollars from a state highway fund totaling over eight million for northern counties. While Sonoma, Marin, and Humboldt secure larger allocations, locals argue the Redwood highway north of Cloverdale is neglected. They say Humboldt gains political influence, but traffic to the Redwood region avoids dangerous stretches, costing Humboldts economy while Mendocino bears the road’s burdens.

Still Felony Law Upheld On Appeal
The Jones Still Act, a drastic California prohibition measure, was upheld as constitutional by the Third District Court of Appeals in denying a new trial for C. C. Wood of Humboldt County. Wood was convicted, fined $1,000 and sentenced to prison under the act. The appeal argued the act exceeded the national prohibition penalties and amended the Wright act.
