That $5-Use Stamp
You must, display on the windshield
of YOUR automobile the government
Use" stamp, or be liable to a SIS
fine. Ehere is much dissatisfaction
here dker this tax-many claiming
that a large per cent of auto owners
do not purchase Tor at least display
these stamps. The stamp was suppos-
ed to have been purchased and dis
played on all cars beginning July 1.
The writer in a walk through the bus
mess district of Milton on Monday,
checked twenU-seven cars and trucks
and found only three cars with the
stamp thereon. Why should a few car
owners pay this tax while others go
4cott free? Federal agents should
investigate this condition.
Town Taxes Due
The Milton town tax. is now collec-
table and those paying them before
July IS will be allowed a rebate of
six per cent-after that date the full
amount will be collected. H. c. Wilt
bank is the collector, and tax bills
