WHEP~EAS, the gasoline tax is levied upon highway users to

WHEREAS, California's excellent system of freeways and
highways is of vital importance to business, industry, and the
entire economy and future development of California; and
WHEREAS, the California Freeway and Expressway System
adopted by the Legislature in 1959 is less than fifty percent
complete;
(50%)
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the city Council of
the City of Santa Ana does hereby support the provision of
Article XXVI of the California Constitution which protects
gasoline tax funds against diversion to other than highway pur-
poses, and urges that no substantive amendments be made which
would change such Constitutional provision.
