6-CENT GAS TAX VOTED,

Bill for Increase Passes South
Carolina House of Representatives.
COLUMBIA. S. c., March 2 @.-
The state House of Representatives
last night passed on second reading
House bill to increase the State gaso-
line tax from to cents a gallon. The
vote was AZ TO %.
Opponents joined supporters of the
S75,000,000 road bond bill passed to
urge the gas tax increase, which would
give the extra cent to county and local
road maintenance. County roads at
present get cents of the scent tax,
but the bond bill would take the entire
5 cents to pay the State highway bonds.

DOUBT OVER PAYING FOR FALSE ALARM
New Britain Fire Department to
 Be Strict in Future
CALL IS STILL UNTRACED
Funeral Services for George Shaw and Mrs. John Gugel - Legion Meeting Tonight-Dogs Kill Pigs Rain Aids Crops-Briefs.

Residents Of the town are wonder .ng how the bill for the alarm that called the New Britain department 10 kensington yesterday will be re- ccived by the town authorities. By tho terms of the contract the town of Berlin will not have 10 pay for the call as it was not put through the proper men. The woman Wh) called cannot be traced and there was no fire.
 New Britain officials say that il Berlin does not pay for. the call they Will use more caution in the future in answering calls from this town. In this case, if there is difficulty in locating one of the selectmen or one Of the other men authorized 10 cal inc New Britain department, there may be heavy fire loss before the New Britain tiremen can be reached.
 Chairman James J. Butler of the New Britain fire board stated today that the seriousness of the call Was such that in the future calls must come from one ot the men author ized to summon the department.
 By the rules of the contract the town of Berlin will accept any dam ages caused by injury to men in ac- cidents. If the New Britain depart ;nent answers calls from anyone who may call the department, there Is a possibility that the town of Berlin will refuse to pay any damages oc- curing, as it can rightly say that the New Britain department Wal; acting in violation of the rules of the contract and that it is not re sponsible for damage to the depart ment.
 It has, not been decided whether or not bill will be sent to the towr tor the fire call yesterday. This matter will be voted upon at the next meeting of the New Britain fire board. which will be held in a few weeks.
 In all probability the matter will he taken up at. the town meeting to he held on July 31 for the settlin of the fire protection problem in this town.
 Further efforts to check up on the woman who called the department yesterday have been of no avail and the woman herself evidently does not wish to admit putting in the call There is a possibility that small fire. quickly put out by her, prompt ed the call

ward c. Sourbier, former Marion
county treasurer and president OF
the Central Amusement Company

Expansion in business, coupled
with the desire of the late w. D.

obtain additional property resulted
in the purchase.

665-foot frontage on Twenty-third
street and the west property line
runs north 397 feet to Burdsal park
way. A one-acre trac in the north
west corner of the properties was
not included in the sale.

in 1927. Sourbier bought the prop
erty at a receivership sale. The fire
engine company has no connection
with the Stutz Motor Car Company.

of fire engines, the company lately
has ben making only fire engine
