That Local Gasoline Tax Project and Its Effect

Efforts to promote a movement to place city tax on gasolihe bought at service stations deserved to die q quick death, as they did.
 Schemes which fly in the face Of constructive economies are not un- known to bodies which study changes in laws but nothing quite so out of place as the local gas tax has drjftcd across the horizon for months.
 Under present conditions, the au- tomobile owner pays reglstraflon fee to the state, a driving license fee to the state, property tax 10 the city and q gasoline tax to the state. In addition he pays for many types Of insurance. To add another burden to his pocketbook would De extremely unjust.
 But aside from increasing the woes of motorists. the plan IS un- sound. It would only result in driv- ing the gasoline business out of New Britain. Drivers domlclled Tn this city would purchase their fuel supplies in suburban towns. Local pumps would rust. Dealers would be forced to close. The city would lose taxation. Investments in gasoline stations would be destroyed. Such a scheme would result in headaches all around.

The Screaming Eagle
 Becomes a COOino Dove

Mayor Quigley squlrmed out Of the Northend schood controversy with smile that must have required effort to create.
 From the beginning of his dispute with the parents of the Northend district one argument after another which he has advanced has been wrecked. His least logical was that the city should not spend money to build d new school because of the depression, a contradiction Of the advice given by public officials throughout the nation urging the eH- penditurc of funds on public works in order to give jobs to the uncm- ployed. His surrender was inevit- able and was made with as much grace as possible under the clrcum- stances. It was humiliating to quit under fire but there was no alterna- tive.
 Credit for the plan under which r is now proposed to erect the school goes to Louis W. Young, member of the board of education. His hnan- cial arrangement was proposed at conference between his associates or the board and the mayor last We'd nesday. He emphasized the polnt that it would not be necessary 10 spend any money immediately and that was the point that pricked a hole in the mayors defense. Had it not been for Mir Houngs far sightedness, it is possible that the mayor would have continued in op- position although it is believed that he saw the handwriting on the wall and succumbed to mass pressure rather than to logic. No politician can afford to fly in the face of the people and in this instance the peo- ple had their minds made up and knew where they were going. The victory Of the Northend school association is q striking example Of what can be accomplished through organization. Instead of assuming l passive policy after Mayor Quigley 1 told them they could not have a new school, the members of the as- sociation redoubled their efforts. I
 1 Confronted with what appeared to 1 be an insurm ountable obstacle in ! their path, they went around 1t 10 ] their goal. By propa ganda of every | legitimate nature, including state ments to the press, bulletins to the members and doOrbell ringing among the ncighbors, the association carried on effectively. The QulslcF defense was riddled and the mayor only course was 10 run up the Nhlt"
 flag and appear 10 like II.
 At the meeting of the association
 Thursday night lone voice sug- :
 eested that the school be named after Mayor Quigley, to which many will object. The name of Northend'
 q respected educator of early Ne"
 Britain, should be perpctuated. Tn
 the future a school can be named
