'WHEREAS, the municipalities of the State of
California, including the City of Rolling Hills,'pay
to the State of California State sales tax and State

and one which might induce the United States Government
to terminate its tax exemption policies and practices
which are'now enjoyed by the cities and states; and

of California results in the taking of funds by the
State 'which are needed by the city in the operation
of their respective municipal governments to the detri-
ment of all the cities of the State of California;
NOIN. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of Rolling Hills that the League of Califor-
nia Cities expend every effort to obtain from the State
Legislature of the State of California an exemption
from the payment of State sales tax and State gas tax
by the cities of the State of California.
THAT the Mayor shall sign this resolution and the
City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage
and adoption thereof.
