from
emoved -from county.jurisdiction by the incorporation of munici

Hills for.the reasons enumerated heretofore,
and
SECTION 2: That the County Board of Supervisors
make every effort possible to reduce the county
tax -rate in view of substantial annual increases
in assessed valuation while the unincorporated

reduced because of municipal incorporations, and

solidated with tax rates to support educational,
municipal and other services, will produce a total
