TAX ON GASOLINE
BRINGS IN MONEY

Columbia, May 30.-The South
Carolina tax commission announced
yesterday that during the month of
April a total of $72,010.04 had
been collected on the gasoline tax
for South Carolina, this being an
increase Of a little over $4,000 for
the March collection.
During March the commission
collected $4,000 and the April col
lection of $4,000 brings the total
for the two months to $3.50, 900,
approximately. At this rate the col
lection for the ten months Of this
year should ibe around $690,000.
Some attempts to evade the law
have been discovered by the tax
commission and considerable effort
on the part of number of dealers
to delay the payment of the tax
has been noted by the commission.
However, the officials have lost all
patience and in the words of sever
al privates in the late war they are
getting "hard boiled" and the de-
linquents are to be given warm re-
ception from now on.
