1448 RES OLUTI ON NO. 1448
WHEREAS, the gasoline tax has been levied on motor
vehicle owners for 17 years for their use of improved
highways and streets; and
WHEREAS, surveys of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads
have indicated that streets of municipalities bear 30%
of the total vehicular traffic ; and
WHEREAS, municipal streets, therefore, have actually
earned 30% of the gasoline tax receipts, none of which
have been used to maintain city streets;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT R SOT T'D that we, the City
Council of Little Rock, Arkansas in expressing the
sentiments of the motor vehicle owners and citizens of the
City of Little Rock, Arkansas, do hereby memoralize Governor
Carl E. Bailey and the members of the General zssembly to
remedy this unfair distribution of the gasoline tax receipts
by returning a reasonable share of the gasoline tax for the
improvement and maintenance of their streets.
