TAX on GASOLINE TAXES

New York City's 2 per cent sales
tax will be collected on gasoline taxes
as well as on the retail price of the
product. William Reid, city collector,
has announced.
"The city sales tax Is imposed on

ITO illustrate, If the selling price
Of i've gallons Of gasoline is IS cents
and included thereon are the Fed

to 20 cents, the total amount on which
the tax Is computed is IS cents"

tires of the machines at a demon

distributor, acted as host to the
gathering.
Mr. Allgor told his audience that
Ordinary common sense in follow

BRASS CITY WOMAN
SEEKING DIVORCE
Mary L. HalIigan Sues AM
sonia Engineer, 81; Odd
Question Arises

An interesting question in di-
vorce proceedings is raised In the
divorce complaint of Mary Lynagli
Halligan of Waterbury against
Thomas Halligan of Ansonia, 60
year old stationary engineer, ems
ployed by the New Haven Road
at Cedar Hill yards. The complainf
was made returnable to the New
Haven superior court in April.
It appears that Mr. Halligan OBJ
tanned a divorce from his spouse in
a Reno, New court last June, burt
Mrs Halligan seems to be relying
on recent decision of the Con-
necticut supreme court of errors on
the legality of Reno divorces. ~
In her complaint she charges her
husband is worth $4,000 and the
deputy sheriff who served the pa
pers was instructed to attach the
defendants property in the sum
Of $4,000. The complaint alleges
her husbands cash and securities
are concealed in New York bank.
She alleges further that her hus-
band threatened that should she
bring her divorce action against
him after he obtained his decree
at Reno, he would not pay her any
alimony. The sheriff's return on
the service shows he attached
property at Naugatuck.
