peal OF many Of the special excise levies
was voted today by the house ways and
means committee.
Under provision approved by the
committee, which is writing a new tax
bill. automobile pleasure cars would be
taxed at three per cent instead Of five

The tax on all grades of cigars was
reduced and the levy on alcohol was cut
in half .t
Other taxes which the committee
would repeal are those on jewelry
camera lenses, photograph films and
plates, fire arms and ammunition, smok-
ers' articles, coin operating machines
works of art and nah jongg sets.
No change was made in the taxes on
admissions aad dues, although the com
mittee voted to exempt legitimate thea
ters housing athe spoken drama from
the admission tax if the treasury deems
it advisable.
The following occupational taxes,
which apply on proprietors were re-
pealed:
Brokers, including pawn brokers, ship
and customs house. : brokers'; billiard

dispense narcotics and to cut from fifty
