and a cent tax on gasoline. The
committee which considered the pro-
visions of the bill favored a division
of the severance tax so that the High
way fund would receive portion and
a 1-3 mill property tax to go to the
same fund. The committee which
drafted the bill did not deem it advis-
able 10 disturb the severance tax and
Governor McRae objected 10 the
property tax. hence both were elimi-
mated. II was also proposed to, place
tax on wagons and other vehicles

the committee will recommend that
such tax be levied by the various
counties and the proceeds be used in
