Agriculture. The exact amount col
lected was STAG. $40, an increase of
S3 per cent over the total in 1924 and

ton by other states.

local roads. s217,393 for collection
costs and S11,024.627 for other pur-
poses.
No tax was assessed in Illinois,
Massachusetts, New Jersey and New
York. The S146,02S,940 collected in
the remaining states was derived from
the taxation of total of 6.457.7S3,2S4
gallons of gasoline. from which it APP
pears that the average rate is 2.26
cents per gallon. The average con-
sumption per vehicle was about 490
gallons. In the A states in which the
tax was levied the average amount
paid by the motor vehicle operator
was $9.22.

line tax, after the deduction of such
refunds as were allowed by law, and
