That in response to the request of the Board
of County Commissioners of Pueblo County, that the City
of Pueblo join in the cost of placing a two inch covering
of black top on the floor and roadway of the '4'1est Fourth
Street Bridge and Viaduct, outside of the City limits of
Pueblo, that the City Commissioners notify said Board
that they cannot join in this cost for the following
reasons:
1. she County of Pueblo levies a mill and
a quarter road tax on all the property of Pueblo County
including as well the property within the City limits
of Pueblo but spends the entire amount on highways out-
side of the city limits of Pueblo.
2. All of the money from gasoline taxes, auto
license taxes and the State levy for road purposes is
spent on roads outside of the city limits, and none of
it is spent for roads inside of the city limits.
3. The money from the $6,000,000.00 bond issue
for good roads voted a couple of years ago is being spent
on highways outside of the city limits and none of iVin-
side of the city.
Inasmuch as the people inside of the City are
already being taxed so heavily in all these ways toward
road improvement outside of the city the City Cormaiesioners
do not feel justified in joining in this expense outside of
the City limits; and particularly in view of 'the fact that
the City of Pueblo is the only taxing body in Pueblo County
whi ch this year reduced its appropriation and tax levy.
Butt as to the said bridge and viaduct within the
City limits of Pueblo, the City is willing 4 . o stand the
entire cost of placing the two inch black top thereon;
provided that the remainder of said floor and roadway is
covered with the two inch black top
That the City Clerk be directed to send a copy
of this resolution to the Board of County Commissioners
of Pueblo County and another copy to the Pueblo Conservancy
