HEAVY REVENUE FROM GASOLINE TAX Figures issued recently by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics shew that the revenue in the nine prov- inces of the Dominion from the sale of gasoline in 1P32 was $25,757,374, which represents an increase of $5,- 211,255 over the previous year, oi 23.1 per cent, and this in spite of the reduction in the consumption of gas- oline approximately 9.5 per cent. The larger revenue is due to th.> increase in the lato of taxation in all of the provinces except Alberta, where the impost on gasoline remains the same at 5 i.-ents a gallon, while in the other provinces the Govern- ments collect a tax of 6 cents a gallon. The statistics also go to show that where the gas tax was the heaviest, the niunber of registrations decreas- ed proportionally. The decline throt:ghout the Dominion in 1932 was seven per cent, or in other words there were 89.970 fewer cars last year than in 1931. Undoubtedly the increased gas tax was one of the main reasons for the decline in reg- istration. (Last Week's Items) Master Paul Tarzwell of Hillsburg is visiting at Jas. Batchelor's.
