The two cent tax to be collected
from oil dealers on all gasoline haul
ed by them, is refunded by the oil in
spector where il is used for purposes
other than for motor vehicles or for
such purposes as in farm tractors.
on the gasoline, then, IL the consumer
is entitled to a refund, he will apply
to the inspector.
The new law provides that dealer
selling petroleum products without
paying the prescribed tax, is guilty
of a misdemeanor and subject to a
fine of $1,000 or Imprisonment. 1t
also provides that any firm or indi-
vidual in default or delinquent in pay
