Lyttle Elected State President of California County Supervisors Assn
James F. Lyttle chair of Sonoma county supervisors was chosen president of the California County Supervisors Association at its Los Angeles convention. He succeeds Roger W. Jessup of Los Angeles. New officers include Charles A. Salzer Kern County first vice president and Lester A. Price Ventura County second vice president. Erle Earle Wrleden was elected president of the Redwood Empire Association’s supervisoral unit, replacing E. E. Safford of Mendocino. The session followed the unit’s breakfast during the association’s annual convention at the Hotel Statler. Sessions on civil defense and federal lands preceded the final general meeting. Delegates heard Los Angeles County counsel Harold K. Kennedy urge a state water department with cabinet status to address a water crisis. State Finance Director John W. Pierce warned of rising government costs and urged austerity in the 1955-56 budget. Increases in fixed costs were projected at $35 million. The group renewed calls to repeal the 10 percent federal transportation tax on interstate travel, urged that aviation fuel tax yield return to counties, and backed federal aid for publicly owned airports on a matching basis. They warned maintenance of federally owned airports is vital to national defense and supported Southwest Airlines feeder service and trunk line service between San Francisco, Eureka, and Portland. Legislators and Mendocino Lake county representatives attended, including Lake’s John Pearce, L. D. Kirkpatrick, Dean Turner, Mendocino’s Joseph Hartley, E. E. Safford, Paul Poulos, H. G. C. Bainbridge, Joseph Scaramella, Walter Severance, and Mendocino county welfare director Roland Kusow and hospital manager Bert Mankins.
