A man at Annapolis will be given a
hearing tomorrow on the charge of
violating a section of the new revenue
bill, by misrepresenting the tax on his
wares to increase his prices. 1t is al
legged that he displayed signs notifying
his patrons of increased prices due to
the tax'and that he made the advance
in excess of the amount imposed. A
dealer is supposed to tell his customer,
each time he makes a sale, unless he
has a sign exposed, that the extra
amount is for the tax. A glass of soda
| water formerly sold for five cents, is
subject to one cent tax. A plate of ice
cream that has been retailing at ten
cents is subject to tax of one cent for
every fraction over ten cents. If the
] ice cream is sold at II cents per plate
the tax is two cents, hence to charge
Is cents for IL cent plate Of cream is
illegal. The case against the Annapo
lis man is the first under the new law
and the government is going to inyes
tigate all dealers. The punishment
for violation of the law is not NOR,
than 81 900 fine or years imprison
ment, or both.
