GASOLINE TAX
EXEMPTIONS TO
Be EMPHASIZED
Question Arises Whether More
Exemptions from Tax
Should Be Made If the Rate
is Raised from One Cent to
Three Cents a Gallon by the
Coming Legislature - Few
Objections Filed Against
Present Law

When the coming Legislature con-
slders the proposition Of raising the
gasoline tax from one cent to three
cents gaIlon--as 1t undoubtedly
VIII, following the suggestion made
by the State Highway Commission
I, IS expected that the question OF
exemptions that should be, made.
Will be stressed to considerable
degree.
There have been a number OF In
dIcatlons that those who think that
certain exemptions should be made,
will be present to press their claims.
The question OF whether tax
should be assessed on gasoline
drives work cars used on steam rail-
roads, has Just been raised in q let
ter received by State Auditor r. ID.
Hayford from Francis n. Whitney OF
New York. tax attorney for the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Company. IL
Is Mr.. Whitney's contention that as
the gasoline tax Is assessed fot high
way purposes, no tax should pc paid
for gasoline consumed In operating
engines not used in propellihg cars
on the highways.
Auditor Hayford replied to At
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1924-11-20

torney Whitney's letter, stating that
he did not consider that under the
present law gasoline used In motor
driven work cars would be exempt
from the tax because the law broad
ly specifies that such tax shall be
paid on all fuel used in internal
combustion engines.
Mr.. Hayford said yesterday that
during the time that the law has
been in effect, he has received only
one complaint from a motor-boaf
owner that the tax should not apply
on gasoline used in boat engines.
That complaint was received from
York county. Mr.. Hayford considers
the lack OF complaints as good evil
dence that people are generally sat-
isfed with the law and that 1t Ia
not working a hardship on anyone.
The present law contains provi-
sions exempting from the tax gaso-
line and naptha used for cleaning
purposes, for the manufacture OF
paints, oil cloth, etc.
