<br />This resolution is based on the proposition that two-thirds
<br />
<br />;....1
<br />
<br />of the highway revenues of the state originate within the cities
<br />
<br />where 61.6 of the people live. That a great portion of the travel
<br />and gasoline consumption by tax payers in the city of Eugene is
<br />
<br />used on city streets, the paving of which is paid by tax payers them-
<br />
<br />selves in the form of assessments on thei~ property.
<br />
<br />It is further urged that twelve states already return to cities
<br />
<br />some portion of the tax paid by them, and in many states the auto-
<br />mobile is assessed as property.
<br />
<br />Further, that the gasoline revenues are constantly increasing
<br />
<br />and the distribution of this tax money back to its source to a reason-
<br />able extent will not affect the highway program nor prevent the high-

<br />/ 15 and City Attorney for study.

<br />The Finance Committee was requested by Mayor Large to consider the purchase
<br />of a mimeograph machine for the city. The Recorder's office had been experimenting
<br />with one and had found it extremely satisfactory. it was pointed out that tne city
<br />was badly in need of one.
<br />
<br />Councilman Reid-, chairman of the Sewer Committee, stated that investigations
<br />had been made in regard to the clogged condition of an underground water passage at

<br />such a complaint. (~,C.J
