township ia 1000 interim ac count lo coiuuiissioucr mccoy the gasoline tax should the legislature approve of the proposal which hon gs henry minister of highways says he will make for a tax on gasoline of pro bably 2 cents a gallon it will mean that ontario car users will contri bute 2000000 more or less next year to be used for improvement of highways this is based on the esti mate that the use of gasoline this year will naturally have increased ten per cent or more over the 1923 figures and probably reach a con sumption of 90 million gallons and that next year it will have made a corresponding jump to about loo million gallons the tax will be collected at the source of supply and will be added to the price that the consumer must pay the retailer there are is or 20 sources of distribution through out the province including the big oil companies who are the principle makers of gasoline the legislation for the collection of this tax will make the distributors and the big companies the agents of the gov ernment for the purposes of collec tion in order to avoid encroachment upon the dominion tax legislation the legislation is also oxnjcted to include an amendment to the motor vehicles act under which all busesas common carriers must ston before crossing a railway track another amendment will probably be the placing of a tax on cartage agents who do business in competi tion with the express companies and railways there will be a change in the system of issuing licenses for another year- council met on monday at union- ville with- all the members present and
