AFTER JULY 1ST
A CENT A GALLON COMES OFF

NEXT MONTH
Owners and operators of motor ve-
hicles should not forget that at mid-
night June 30 the States gasoline
tax automatically is reduced one cent

G. Eynon of the Motor Vehicles Bur-
eau advised to-day.
“No special order
bring about this result,” Commis-
sioner Eynon said. “The law which
increased the rate per gallon to four
cents provided also that the tax re-
turn to three cents on July 1, 1930.
“It is possible that here and there
is necessary to
a gasoline vendor may overlook the
law s provision; therefore owners
and operators of cars and trucks
should be on the alert. So far as is
possible the Motor Vehicles Bureau
will notify dealers of the change in
rate.”
The three-cent rate places Penn
sylvania in the class with Califor-
nia, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kan-
sas, Michigan, Minnesota, North
Dakota and Washington, all of
which levy a three cent tax.
Pennsylvania inaugurated its gaso-
line tax in 1921. In that. year twelve

MUST PAY THE TAXES
The Mount Tunnel Cemetery Com

to the Borough of Elizabethtown on
its property through which sewers
have been laid, it was decided by the
Lancaster County Court in an opin-
ion handed down this morning.
The case was reviewed in
ment court here Monday
torneys for the Cemetery
that since all the land through
which the sewer lies has been sold
for burial plots, no possible benefitts
could accre to the Cemettery of the
owners, Thus it would not be liable
for assessments, they claimed.
Argu-
when - at-

The Court in its opinion upheld
the previous decision that there is
nothing in the charter of the asso-
ciation which renders it ekXempt from
municipal The necess
ity of the improvements is a matter
for the city or town de-
cide and does not enter into the case
in court.
The frontage on Maytown avenue
where the sewers lie is 589 feet, the
testimony showed and the claim is
for $2,823.05, which is now due to the
