BUSY SESSION OF
THE TRADE BODY
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce Last Night Held a Well
Attended and Hard Worked
Meeting

At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last night Mr.. w. I. Gary
was chosen vice-president from Mar
ion county for the Florida State Asso-
citation for Capital Removal. The
meeting went on record as favoring a
one cent tax on gasoline, the retention
of the present one mill advalorem
tax, the continuation of the present
method of imposing licenses on motor
vehicles, as sources of revenue for
sttae highway construction, and favor
ed changing the method of distribut-
ing automobile license tags so as to
provide for their distribution by a
county official instead of by the state
comptroller, and recommended more
effective system of enforcing the pay
ment of motor vehicles licenses. The
matter of calling an extra session of
the legislature to make the gasoline
tax effective was referred to the board
of governors IF the chamber for fur
ther consideration and recommenda-
tion. The position was taken that it
would be well to wait until after the
meeting of the state road department
in Tampa next week, when a state
ment probably will be forth coming on
the present condition of that depart
ment.
The report of the secretary read at
last nights meeting showed that the
organization has during the last two
months had one of the busiest periods
in the last three years. A number of
important matters have been handled
and there has been an unusual amount
of routine work
Mr.. L. H. Pillans, Mr. H. L. Shearer
and Secretary Chazal left this morn
ing for Haines City to attend a meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Florida Traffic Equalization League,
which is working for freight rates
