By merely push ing the plunger, and watching the tube, the dangerous gases can be de- tected.

FIRST PACT
TOEXP|RE
FRIDAY.
Revision of Gasoline Tax Bill
Likely Before It Is
Adopted.

The automobile reciprocity
agreement between Maryland and
the District of Columbia will con-
tinue at least through March and
possibly April.
The existing two-month agree
ment expires next Friday. Be-
fore that time, however, the Dis
trict Commissioners will make
overtures to Governor Richie, of
Maryland, for an extension.
Governor Is Willing.
The Maryland governor has indi-
Gated his willingness to grant addi.
tional grace to District motorists
and continuation Of the agreement
appears practically certain today.
In the meantime, House and Sen
ate leaders are exerting every effort
to have the District gasoline tax
bill-a measure which will insure
permanent reciprocity-passed by
both Houses and signed by Presi.
dent Coolidge in the next several
weeks.
Failure of Governor Richie to
consent to an extension of the agree
ment would cause endless confuAidn
and the result would be hardship
on motorists Of Maryland and tile
District. There is not time between
today and the end of this month for
motorists to get additional tags II
Governor Richie declines to con-
tinue the agreement.
Present Bill Unpopular.
Residents of Washington and
representatives of various organiza-
lions continue to protest against
the passage of the tax bill in its
present form. They contend that 1t
will put on District motorists an
unnecessary large automobile tax.
The bill, as passed by the House.
provides a 2-cent gasoline tax and
Is cents horsepower registration.
A joker in the bill eliminates the
personal property tax. The meas
ure would more than double reve.
mues, from automobiles.
Friends Of the District in the Sen.
ate are planning to take steps to
revise the House bill and relieve
motorists OF the heavy tax burden
provided.
The Senate District committee
will take the gasoline tax bill under
consideration the end Of this month.
It is barely possible, but not prob.
able, that the Senate committee will
approve the measure and have the
Senate vote before the month is
over.
