 ThE AoE.H ERALD Meutaemery, Ala, Jan. v

Four prices were being charged for gasoline in Montgomery today because of the conflict over, the one-cent tax levied by the city commission. Ihe prices ranged from IS to 21 cents.
 Some of the companies levied the tax against purchasers of gasoline from distributors and because of the advancing market increased the price another two cents. Still others have refused to increase the price either be- cause of the tax or the advancing mar ket.
 The Standard Oil company at noon decreased it's price from 21 cents to 20 cents. It has been charging IS cents and increased the, rate two cents be- cause of market conditions and another one cent because of the tax. It reached the conclusion that it would await a decision of the circuit court on the tax and gave instructions to local stations to decrease the price one cent. The Interstate Fuel company also decreased the price one cent.
 Judge Walter E. Jones will take up the case, seeking an injunction next Monday. It was brought by the Woco Pep company. ; Az
