 AUTO TAX HEARING
Hearing On Abolishing of Pres
 ent System Next Thursday

The New Britain board of asses sors will be represented before the legislative committee on taxation Thursday as favoring abolishment of the present system Of taxing auto mobiles and substituting gasoline tax as Q. means of revenue.
 Chairman .Thomas Linder will at tended the hearing 10 make known the views of the local board. It is proposed 10 place a tax Of one and onehalf cents gallon on gasoline, this money to be allocated on a basis of one cent 0 the city or town from which the tax is raised and one half Der cent to the state, The state would use it's revenues on road con- structiOn and repair,
 The argument 10 he advanced by Chairman Linder is that those who Use the highways most, as gleaned from gasoline consumption, will pay q tax proportionatc with the amount Of wear and tear their machines inn pose on the highways. Many of the cars which cause the greatest wear on highways pay the lowest taxes under the present plan, because the assessment is based on d market value of the machine. It has been shown tNr"T"h state survey that persons Nno own automobiles only, Day but a fraction of the cost of highway maintenance, the heavy burden being borne by persons own- ing real estate.
