PLANT AGAINST METHOD
OF TAKING MOTOR BOATS

Representative Andrews Of Mary
land has protested to government Off
Gals against the method of taxing
motorboats. The new rate of taxa
ton will be effective July and will
require the payment of $40 on 30
foot launches to be used for pleasure
purposes. Such a launch is subject to
taxation at the foregoing rate if it is
used at any time for pleasure pur-
poses.
Mr.. Andrews contends that the tax
on such craft is a hardship on oyster
dredgers and fishermen of the eastern
shore, who use their boats six days
a week as work craft and for pleasure
purposes on Sundays. He Is attempt
ing to have such craft exempted from
taxation.
