Booklet With All Provisions
Of MARYLAND Sales Tax Issued

you make several purchases in var
ious departments of the same store?
The State says the dealer will apply
the tax to the total sales price Of
all purchases, instead Of on separate
items.
Then, there is the question of
credit or installment purchases. The
buyer can leave this up to the store
keeper, who has two ways OF han
ding it.
In his monthly statement to the
controllers Office, the man from
whom you bought your furniture or
suit may prepay the tax and keep
the money when you make your
installment payment.
Or he may wait and remit only the
tax on total payments for a particu-
lar month.
Finance, Interest Charges.
Finance and interest charges must
be separately stated from the price
Of the article, or they will be taxable
Suppose you purchased an article,
paid the tax and then decided to
return it. The dealer refunds the
tax and If substitute merchandise
is furnished, you pay the tax on the
new article.
If the storekeeper refunds your
tax and you don't buy any substitute
article, and if he has already paid
the tax to the State, the controller
office viii refund the anlotfnt to the
dealer provided he makes written
application within a year. Provision
may be made on dealers
monthly return for a credit in lieu
of refund.
The first step which the store
keepers must take before the tax
becomes effective Tuesday is to apply
for a vendors license under the sales
tax law. Application blanks are
available at the Offices of the clerks
of the Circuit Courts at Rockville
and Upper Marlboro. After being
filled in they must be sent to the
controllers Office in Baltimore.

This is the third OF series OF
articles on the Maryland sales

articles on the Mdrytdhd SdteS
tar.
By J. B. Zotmon
To help the man on the street
understand the Maryland sales tax,
the State controllers office has
issued booklet containing all the
provisions of the act.
But after reading its 81 pages, the
average Marylander probably will
have several questions.
For example, the family automo-
bile is repaired and the garage pre-
sents bill for $25, including labor.
How much tax would the owner of
the car pay?
The answer is that the labor cost
first must be segregated from the
cost Of materials, since the labor
cost is not taxable. If SIS is for
materials, the tax would be 80 cents
on the basis of cents for every 81.
Suppose the left rear tire is re-
capped There's no tax, because
the job is mainly labor. The ma
terial used is a negligible part of
the transaction, according to State
officials.
Professional Services.
What about professional services
by physicians or dentists? There is
no tax on their bills. Nor for the
laundryman, the. shoe shine boy or
the parking lot attendant. All per-
sonal services are exempted.
Hotels must charge the tax to
transient guests, however. So must
any person who regularly furnishes
Accommodations to transient guests
This does not apply to permanent
guests who rent on a monthly basis
or who maintain permanent resi-
dence.
The tax also will be imposed on
your gas and electric bills. Tele-
phone bills will not be taxed be-
cause they now bear a Federal levy
For the same reason there will
be no sales tax on real estate trans
actions.
How will the tax be figured If

Alexandra Water Co.
Launches 100000
Program

"A 1l3UUU,UOO p1OSl d11 VI llltplOFC-
ments for the next two years has
been launched by the Alexandria
Water Co. to improve the city's
water service, officials of the COM
pany told the Alexandria City
Council last night.
At the same time, the Council was
informed by Jerome Powers, water
company president, that the COM
pany is not willing to sell out to the
city at any price.
The Council went into executive
session, however, after taking care
of scheduled business, to consider
purchase of the privately owned and
operated utility. Spokesman of the
water company had been invited to
attend last nights Council session
to state their position on the pos
sible city purchase of the company.
Gardner Boothe, attorney for the
water company, outlined to the
Council an improvement program al
ready under way that is contem-
plated to double the current daily
water output of 5,70o,0o0 gallons.
Work Started on Wells.
| Work has been started, he said on
five additional wells. pumps and
piping CONNECTIONS III the existing
distribution system to provide g.
| 500, 900 more gallons output per day.
It Is further planned to erect a
,o00, ,000-gallon elevated steel water
storage tank and install mains of
adequate size to and from this tank
to reinforce service to the main
portion of the existing system. He
said after the meeting this would
laid materially" in improving water
supply for fire-f1ghting.
Another part of the long-range
plan, he said, is construction of a
5000, 600 gallon daily filter plant at
Bancroft in Fairfax County, where
the city large reservoir is located.
From this filter plant 16-inch
pipeline is to be constructed to the
projected large storage tank near
the western city limits.
Water from the Bancroft reser-
voir currently reaches the filter
plant in Alexandria by flowing most
of the way through Holmes Run.
Contract Led to Move.
To make water stored in the
large tank available throughout the
entire Alexandria area" Mr..
Boothe said four or five pressure
reducing connections are to be in
stalled.
The city first began considering
purchase of the water company
when it was learned that the utility
had contracted to furnish water to
a Fairfax County developer. City
officials expressed the fear that this
contract might be the first of many
that may at some future date con-
stitute threat to an adequate water
supply for the City of Alexandria.
1t has been brought out that, in the
event the company refuses to sell,
the city could attempt to obtain
possession through condemnation
proceedings.
City Manager Carl Budwesky was
authorized to borrow S37, 500 to cover
the cost of construction "and other
incidental cost of providing i'm
provements at the City Jail. The
city heads have been ordered by the
Alexandria Corporation Court to
carry out specified improvements as
recommended by State jail inspec-.
ton officials.
The name of King street road was
changed to King street. King street
road formerly designated the road
from Russell road to Donaldsons
