COURT OF APPEALS EXEMPTS
USED-CAR SALES FROM
RECEIPTS LEVY

Approximately 100000 which
would have gone into the State fund
for aid to the needy was lost Thurs
day when the Court of Appeals ruled
that motor vehicle dealers could not
be held for the Maryland one per
cent gross receipts tax on their
used-car sales.
The tax case was instituted last
year by William S Gordy, Jr., State
Comptroller, seeking to collect
S43S.91 from the Backus Chevrolet
Company, Inc, of Baltimore, as
gross receipts taxes on used-car sales
from April to July, 1885. The
State lost in the Superior Court, Bal
timore, and took the appeal.
Although the tax law expired on
March 81, finding for the State on
Thursday would have allowed the
collection of the tax on business done
while the law was IN effect. Any
thing collected would have gone into
the old-age pension fund.

The ultimate push that sent the

The flood of votes that wiped out
the last chance that New Hampshire
