As Of June I6

No. $50 relating to state revenue
increasing the amount of the gaso-
line tax to five cents. In that notice,
you were advised that the effective
date of the law was June s, 1949.
While this tax was collectable as
of June 8, l have been advised to
inform you that there will be no
penalty imposed for failure to col
lect the additional tax prior to
June 16. This is necessary because
of certain unavoidable department
tai delays in setting up the equip
ment and mechanics to effect the
collections of the taxes due under
this bill"
The memorandum was sent out
by Ernest Muncy, secretary of the
department.
1t was learned that operators of
motor freight lines are planning to
buy as much of their gasoline in
states with lower gasoline taxes
than Delaware. Lines operating
through Delaware to New Jersey
and New York points are planning
to fill their trucks in New Jersey.
Truck company officials said
that some of the firms operating
here have terminals in New Jersey
equipped with tanks from which
their trucks are serviced. Others
buy their gasoline at service sta
tions. In both cases, the operators
will fill up in New Jersey and buy
as little gasoline as possible in
states with higher gasoline taxes
including Delaware, they declared
They pointed out that a one cent
difference in the gasoline tax
amounts to a large amount of mon
ey when multiplied by hundreds ol
large tractor-trailer trucks, getting
only five to eight miles per gallon
One trucking firm official said his
trucks have been using 1000 gal
Ions of gasoline a week, purchased
in Delaware.
There are about so trucking
firms operating in the state, includ
ing several with more than 10l
tractor-trailer units each. Some O
these have their headquarters il
the state.
1t was pointed out that the truck
ing companies run up only a small
proportion of their mileage il
Delaware, and have ample oppor
tunity to fill up their tanks in othe
states.
i Sales of gasoline in Delawar
last month totalled 7,499,992 gal

In the past four months, land
