Editorial Webster Times1

Perhaps iu no section of the Com be displayed in the gasoline tax pro- posed by State Registrar Goodwin as in Webster and Dudley Less than five miles south of this cem- munity, however, the tax will be most strongly favored.
 While Webster and Dudley gas station owners will find that the gas oline tax will cut deeply into their present business. across the line in Connecticut, similar dealers will hail with joy, the law that will place them on an equal footing with their Massa- ehusetts brethren.
 \ the present time. the fact that Connecticut has gasoline tax, while Massachusetts has none, works out quite nicely for the dealers on this side of the line The number of Connecticut cars who buy all their gasoline in Webster and Dudley is very large. and the business done here probably exceeds any commu- nity of an equal size in Massaehu- <etts.
 While this is all very well for the N Mssachusetts dealers, owners of Conneetieut gasoline stations. who are forced to charge three and four cents more for every gallon, find hat # their station is located near the state line business is mighty poor Autos pass right by their station and hi for Massachusetts, where on a five gallon purchase. the price of more than a gallon of gaso- line k saved
 For that reason the dealers in Webster and Dudley. and those in Th0mpsou Woodstock and Putnam. view the proposed tax from entirely different angles. Obviously the fact that Massachusetts has no tax on gasoline. while Connecticut has works to the advantage of the deal CTS here. while t hits the stations across the line
 l. is said that gasoline sales in Web ster and Dudley during the past sum mer rose to figure never before approached. and much of this pheno- meHal sale was due to the connecti cut business Very naturally. deal CTS in Connecticut are very much interested in seeing Massachusetts pass q tax similar 10 their state: very naturally. also that Inv would never be passed. if the passage de pended on Webster and Dudley votes
