Noting that City Council will consider legislation to renew the tax during its regular meeting tonight, the mayor asked for public support of the one and one-half tenths of one per cent increase.

"I am fully in favor of the suggested rate of seven and one- half tenths of one per cent tax rate," he said.

Of this amount, $250,000 is proposed for use in the city street improvement program, he said.
