RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Cities and towns in Alabama have since 1901 been re-

ctional property assessments that are not representative of the ab'1
of cities and towns to repay their obligations; and

resulted in backlogs of public improvement projects because cities a
towns were unable to secure proper financing; and

dum ballot of December 5; and
