George A. Janssen, Alameda County supervisor chair, reports the 1944-45 county tax budget proposes a reduction of about 8 to 9 cents per 1.10 assessed value from last year.

A rise in countywide assessed valuations is cited to justify the rate decrease, with a salary fund total of 2,325,767.00 for the current year.
