TAX ON GASOTdNE VELDS OYER
• $S,S02^»00   IN   ITS   FIRST   YEAR
* The two cent gasoline tax enacted
by the 1925 Legislature netted the
stae $S,802,918 in the first-12 months
of iits effectiveness, according to a
report completed Monday by Charles
J DeLand, secretary rif state- The
figures include receipt.- up to February 1. as collections were not started
until  that date in 19»25.
Tho net revenue exceeded estimates
made when tho Legislature adopted
the levy by about $2,000,000. The
average estimlate was between $6,000,-
000 and $7,000,000,
Net receipts in January were $566,-
S41 as compared with $677,000 in December. Indications are that the two
cent tax will net $10,000,000 in 1926.
The normal increase in the number
of automobiles consuming gasoline,
nlus the ever increasing tourist traffic and the more general use of cars
will " bring in large sums in the
spring, summer and fall months, department of state and highway officials believe.
The weight tax is exacted to run
over the $14,000,000 mark this year.
Total revenues from the weight and
gasoline taxes will run between $24,-
000.000 and .$25,000,000, as compared
with less than $21,592,453" in 1925,
