Chairman E. J. Guidotti arrived after the meeting had ended, but concurred with the other supervisors in the suggestion that the matter of equalization be brought up in a budget discussion.

Cities represented were Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Sebastopol, Sonoma and Healdsburg. Two alternative plans were suggested by Mayor E. A. Eymann, of Santa Rosa, principal spokesman for the group of eleven city representatives. Both would, in effect, permit the county to share in the expense of city street improvement programs.

Under the alternative pro-prosal, a reduction in the county tax rate on property in incorporated areas would be sought. The city officials did not have the amounts or the percentage of payment of gas tax money, or the percentage of suggested lowered rates worked out for presentation.

Eymann said that in his opinion $9000 to all the municipalities would be an equitable amount. Some of the others said they believed this represented too low a percentage. One of these was City Manager J. A. Tedford, who suggested four-thirteenths of the county's gasoline tax share.

Sonoma county, Eymann said, is one of only twelve California counties in which no action has been taken on either one or both of the plans. Eymann, at the opening of the morning session, presented figures compiled from the report of the state controller to show asserted "inequalities" in amounts paid by CONSTRUCTION RESUMED LOS ANGELES, July 9 (UP) Construction of a California maritime school at Morrow Cove, near Vallejo, was ordered resumed today by Frank W.

Of the $565,425 spent last year on roads in the county, $266,000 came from the gasoline tax of which $26,210 was alloted to cities in the 14 cent return on basis of population. The county has 725 miles of paved roads and 575 miles of dirt roads, while the cities have about 100 miles of paved streets which cost nearly twice as much as county roads on a mileage basis. "Out of the $565,325 spent on roads $125,580 represented the cities' share a rate of about 50 cents per hundred of assessed valuation, from which we feel we have received little or no benefit." Out of the 58 counties in the state, Eymann said, 40 already have lower rates for incorporated areas than in unincorporated areas while six of these counties have added to this the plan, to pay municipalities a portion of the gasoline tax money.
