It looked like no senator would be found even to introduce a bill to carry out the cutbacks Nixon proposed, since such an action probably would engender the hostility of Medicare patients when the cause is already lost. In his budget, Nixon proposed: -Increasing the charge Medicare patient would pay for his first day of hospitalization from $72 to the full charge; -Requiring the patient to hospital costs for the second through the 61st day -now free under Medicare; -Requiring people whose doctor are covered by Medicare's voluntary Part insurance to pay the first $85. instead of the first $60, of pay 10 per cent of actual doctors' services and to pay 25 per cent, instead of 20 per cent, leased.

Street Issues Concern Women At Monte Rio By Staff Correspondent MONTE RIO Members of the Women's Auxiliary, Chamber of Commerce, recently voted to request "No Parking" signs where the streets are too narrow for parking mostly on the higher streets in Monte Rio.

Mrs: Alfred Sitton, chairman of the Civic Improvement Committee for the auxiliary, reportthat she had contacted Don Head, Director of Public Works, concerning the desire of the auxiliary to have the bridge over Dutch Bill Creek replaced. Head had referred the matter to Ernest Garloff and he had reported to Mrs. Sitton that the matter was being taken underadvisement, saying that it was an expensive bridge to replace. Before its collapse, firemen have used this bridge as a quick access to Bohemian Highway. Mrs.

Sitton also reported that a request had been made to have additional no parking sign placed on tne east side of the north approach to the Monte. Rio bridge. The county had already put up two signs on the west side so now owners have been parking cars on the east side. The three annual donations made by the auxiliary were again voted on and passed: $10 to the Guide Dogs for the Blind; $10 to the Red Cross and $10 to the Children's Retarded Ward at Sonoma State Hospital. In addition, $10 will be donated to the Monte Rio School District to purchase books for their library.
