V~vHEREAS, it is evident that municipalities within the State

funds with which to construct and maintain streets and highways re-
ouired by increasing automobile traffic, and

necessary and desirable,
BE IT THEREFOR RESOLVED THAT the City of Bakersfield' go
on record as favoring the followsing:
1. The apportionment to each county as heretofore of
one-third of the total proceeds of the existing three cent motor
fuel tax; however, the amount accruing directly from the tax on the
sale of gasoline sha].l be apportioned amongst the cities of said
county and the unincorporat~d areas of said county on the basis of
registration of motor vehicles. Of said apportionment, three-fourths
of the amount resulting from city registration shall be paid to the
cities; the remaining one-fourth resulting from city registration,
together with all revenue resulting from rural registration and
all receipts for license plates, etc., shall be paid into the
county treasury. The same restrictions on expenditures shall be
made for the cities as now exists for the counties, with the further
provision that all such funds shall be expended only according to
a financial 'plan in each case which shall be based upon a competent
