the gasoline tax. Under the new esti-
mates the net gas tax receipts are
expected to reach 5000 900 or more,
Some of the gasoline tax increase
resulted from the reduction of ap-
proximately 40 per cent in the cost
Of passenger automobiles effective this
year, but Director John @. Rhodes
said there were other contributing
factors.
One Of these, he said, was "better
conditions generally and particularly
in the agricultural sections" Another
he mentioned was the holding of sew
eral major attractions, such as PreSi-
dent Roosevelt's visits to Roanoke and
Williamsburg. Still another, he said,
was the fact that there has been a
continual gasoline price war in this
State for several months"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va, December "a
Imposition of a license on vending
machines in Fairfax County was or
dered by the Board of Supervisors at
q special meeting yesterday. The new
county ordinance, which becomes ,ef-
fective January /, parallels section 1913
of the State tax code, as amended by
the General Assembly.
The new licenses will be issued by
the commissioner of revenue, but only
after an applicant has stated on oath
that no element of chance enters into
operation of the machine. Likewise
the ordinance provides that no IL
censee shall permit any person under
the age of l6 years to operate ma
chine licensed under the provisions
coming under the ordinance that are
not licensed will be forfeited to the
Commonwealth, and the owner sub
jected to a fine ranging from $40 to
$50 for each of1enSe.
1t is provided in the ordinance,
however. that nothing shall be con-
strued in the resolution as permitting
any person to maintain any slot ma
chine or other device iE the operation
of which gaming is permitted.
Similar fees and restrictions are
Imposed by the State law licensing
such machines on which the county
ordinance is based.
The board also decided to discon-
tinue work projects financed through
Federal Emergency Relief Admins
tration funds after the expenditure
of the January ALLEGATION OF such
funds to the county.
After a careful study of the ques-
ton. the board decided that in view
of the excessive rates on compensa-
ton insurance covering F. E. r. A.
workers, and a lack of county funds
with which to provide the necessary
supervision and materials to carry on
the projects adequately, it would be
best to abandon the work after the
January ALLEGATION has been spent.
A. w. Petersilia, F. E. r A. project
engineer, who appeared before the
board with reference to a continuance
of work projects, declared he believed
funds allocated for the coming month
would complete the few projects now
underway. 1t was stated that dis
continuance of work would probably
not greatly affect those on relief rolls,
since a number of towns are sched-
uled to begin projects after the new
year and should absorb much of the
labor now being used by the county.
Instances were cited before the
board with reference to excessive
rates on compensation insurance
where the cost of compensation inSur-
ance has been as great in a week as
the pay roll.
A report was received from the
State Compensation Board that the
salaries of the commissioner of reve-
nue. and county treasurer and their
employees have been set for the COM
ing year. No action was taken on
the report, however, the board decid-
ing to wait until its regular January
meeting.
