opposing Senate Bill 38 was presented. Senate Bill
38 would give the authority for allocation of Gasoline
Tax money to the State Highway Commission instead of
using the Mayo-Breed formula of 55-45, or the new
formula of 60-40 which, until the Senate Transportation
Committee's action of` March 9, appeared possible to
achieve. After a brief discussion of the provisions
of the proposed Senate bill, the Mayor asked that
copies of the bill be furnished to the Council
prior to making any decis~.on.
Curb addressingThe Manager presented a report on the request of
residential Veterans Addressing Service for renewal of curb
area report addresses throughout the city. The service would
consist of painting 4" black reflective characters
on a white, glass-beaded background, against the
vertical curb face at each residence in the city.
Two methods of doing the work are proposed, by
means of public donation or by city contract.
The cost under city contract is estimated at $4,600,
or approximately 46~ per residence. Under the
public donation method, the company would paint
the curb numbers throughout the city, leaving a
donation request card at each residence and approximately
one week later, an agent of the company would call at
