posed by the assembly.
The new taxes are on gifts, wines
and intangibles. Few Of the common
run Of folks give away enough to
bother about taxes on their generosity,
few make or sell wine and few possess
enough intangible property to be
greatly concerned over the low-rate
taxes imposed by the new levies.

from the sales tax exemptions to do

not have to pay the vexing levy on
flour meal, meat, lard, milk, molasses,
salt, sugar. coffee, bread, rolls, ice
or medicines sold on prescription or
compounded by the druggist selling

Otherwise they, will have to pay the
same sales tax rate as in the past. The
minimum sale on which a tax is to be
levied was retained at ten cents, but
the maximum collectible on one art
icle was raised to SIS, from $40.
The income tax payer will continue
to pay the same as in the past unless
he happens to be an individual with
net income Of more than $4,000 an

those. In this top bracket, the rate
has gone up from 6 to Z per cent,
