RESOLUTIOR NO. 253~ RESOLUTION PROTESTING DISCONTINUANCE OF FINANCIAL AID TO STREET IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS IN CITY BY COUNTY OF ORANGE. The Council of the City of Santa Aha resolve as follows: WHEREAS, for several years mast past the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange has allocated to the several cities in this County for the benefit of Street Improvement Districts for paying for streets of general use a certain portion of the "Highway Fund" of said County as received by it through the State of California, from the receipts from the sale of motor vehicle fuel in this State~ and WHEREAS, this Council is advised that for the fiscal year 1937-1938 the said Board of Supervisors intends to discontinue such allocations to this City for the benefit of the Street Improvement Districts created to pay the cost of improvement of streets in this City which are of more than local importance or use, and WHEREAS, the reason assigned by said Supervisors for such discontinuance is the necessity for increasing their tax rates to meet other obligations not connected with Street Improvements, AND WHEREAS, such discontinuance will require an increase in the tax rate to be levied by this Board and will cause the expense of the othe~ obligations so paid by the Board of Supervisors to be actually, though indirectly, met and paid by the taxpayers within the incorporated area of this City, NOW, THEREFORE, we hereby respectfully protest against such discontinuance and request that such special obligations to be paid by the Board of Supervisors be met by a general increase, if necessary, in the general tax rates over the entire County, including both that which is within and that which is outside of incorporated cities, thus distributing the cost thereof equally over all the County instead of placing the entire cost upon property within the Cities thereof.
