TO ~tE VOTERS OF SAID CITY
WHEREAS, because of the rapid increase in the population and
size of the City of Santa Ana resulting in increase in the number
and complexity of problems confronting said City, the demands upon
the time of the members of the City Council have materislly increased,
md the requirements which necessitate actual cash expense to be
borne by the Councilmen personally, without reimbursement, and be-
cause of fae enlarged responsibility now placed upon members of said
Council the present salary of $75.00 per month is no longer adequate
or sufficient or, in fact, more than enough to repay said Councilmen
for their out-of-pocket expense, so that now said compensation shou~
be increased in fairness to those citizens of the City who may here-
after be elected to serve as Councilmen of said City.
