No Says
Council
On State
Smoke Tax

Unanimous opposition to a
proposed State cigarette tax
Of 5 cents a pack was voted
by the Montgomery County
Council Tuesday. The levy is
being considered by the State
Legislature as a revenue-rais-
er. The county's delegation to
the Legislature has been notified
OF the Councils action.
Because of the decline in ciga.
rette sales that would result from
the higher price, a &c slice Of the
State levy earmarked for the
counties would not make up for
revenue lost from Montgomery's
own &c per pack tax, according to
Council President Charles Jami-
son.
Mr.. Jamison said, I'VE cannot
afford to go along with a tax
that's going to tax us out of
taxes"
Council Member J. c.. Walker
predicted that county smokers
would buy their cigarettes in
Washington if the new levy is
adopted. Cigarette prices in d. c.
and suburban Maryland are about
the same now.
A report issued Tuesday shows
that the county cigarette tax,
which went into effect in July,
produced almost $4,000 in reve-
nue. through the end of Novem-
Der.
