Baywood Annexation Boundaries Trim Hayward Addition to 300 Acres
Revised boundaries filed with the county boundary commission reduce the Baywood annexation area to 300 acres from 230 originally planned. The area lies south of Hayward High School and Strobridge Elementary, includes Bridge Street and reservoir land, and keeps two schools within the moved boundary. Local organizers say Castro Valley residents showed little interest, preserving jurisdiction via notices while petitions circulate.

Alameda County Tax Rate Reduction Reflects State Order
Alameda County will see a lower tax rate this year though a recent item claimed a higher rate due to a misprint. County and city officials adjust to the State Board of Equalization order which shifts a portion of utility assessments to property owners, partially offsetting the rate cut. The Review apologizes for the erroneous word insertion and confirms the three cent reduction achieved by the Supervisors through the 1955 56 budget.
