Los Banos Rotary Club History
Talks City Taxes To Rotarians

City Clerk Mike Dambrosio Tuesday noon gave members of the Los Banos Rotary Club a brief resume of the city finance picture as it will exist for the next fiscal year, and stressed the need for additional funds if the city is to provide all of the services being demanded by the citizens.

Explaining that the antique tax basis for municipal governments is limited by state statute to not more than $1.00 a year per $100 valuation, Dambrosio said that new tax sources were needed to provide additional funds. Installation of parking meters, he said, would be one means of obtaining additional revenue. Another way would be a city sales tax such as is now being collected in Los Angeles.

G. P. Maushart, Rotary member who has been absent for the past four years serving as a Commander in the U.S. Navy, was welcomed back into the fold by President Bert Loosmore. Maushart re-opened his legal office in this city Monday morning.
