Georges County and $2.42 In
Montgomery which had Q Gig
arctic tax Of its own.

on top Of this, he contended,
the retailer had to levy the
sales tax.
And, he added, he has re-
ceived no notice Of change In
the practice or no notice from
the controllers ONCE as de-
scribed by Mr.. Kennedy.
The matter arose when q. o. p.
0ubernatorial Candidate James
r. 8. Devereux blasted confu.
sion among retailers and pur-
chasers over the State YAK
which went into effect July I.
He called on his Democratic
opponent, Mr.. Tawes, to clear
Up the matter which he said
was resulting in "two separate
State sales taxes on one item.
According TO Mr.. Devereux
the situation Is this: Common
purchases Of two packs Of
cigarettes at q time used to
come TO 46 cents In some areas
under the minimum 51-cent
purchase subject to the sales
tax. Now. with the Scent
a-pack cigarette tax. the price
is 50 cents and subject to an
additional 2-cent retail sales
tax.

BALTIMORE, July ls.-The
state controllers ONCE has put
the blame on retailers for con-
fusion over prices being charged
for cigarettes under the new
3-cent-a-paekage State ciga-
rette tax law.
Controller ]. Willard Tawes
and retail sales tax head
Walter Kennedy said 1t was up
to the retailer to decide
whether the State sales tax
Is to be applied before or after
the new cigarette tax Is figured
In the price Of cigarettes.
They asserted that $1,000 to
$1,000 notices had been sent
TO retailers advising them they
did not have to levy the sales
tax on top Of the cigarette
tax.
Post Proper Sign
"They were informed in what
was labeled an Important
Notice that II they win post
0 proper sign Is to the price
Of the cigarettes before any
taxes. they may apply the sales
tax on that amount" Mr..
Kennedy said. ''If no such sign
Is posted they must collect the
sales tax on top Of the cigarette
tax" he added.
The practice In the WASH
ington area Is to collect the
sales tax after the cigarette
tax 10 figured into the price Of
cigarettes. according to spokes-
men for O big chain operating
In the Washington area.
He pointed out that under
the unfair cigarette sales law
that went into effect In 1866.
minimum prices for cigarettes
In every jurisdiction In the
State was established.
Under Q notice dated Just
last May 10 from Edward j.
