RESOLUTION TO HIT JCENT TAX ON GAS Will Go to Merchants and Manufacturers’ Governing Board This Afternoon. A resolution definitely opposing the proposed increase in the gasoline tax for Washington from 2 to 3 cents per gallon was to be presented to the board of governors of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association at its meet- ing this afternoon. Opposition to the gasoline tax boost, which Representative Zihlman of Mary- land has announced he will provide for in a bill to be introduced in Congress, is based on the fact that it would be & tax on'a’ class‘of citizens for the an- nounced purpose of providing for exten- sion of the parks system of Washington. Objection to the bill also is raised on the point that it would benefit the gasoline dealers in nearby Maryland, where the gasoline tax is higher than in Washington. ‘The merchants’ governors also were to consider proposals for the develop- ment of a bus terminal in Washington in connection with an armory for the District National Guard and will begin a study of the tax rate for the fiscal year 1930-1931. The projected development of an air- port for Washington, for which the as- sociation is on record, also was to be considered, Gen. Anton Stephan, presi- dent of the board, urging that the cost be divided on the 50-50 basis as be- Lvue; the local and Federal Govern- ments, Loss of Jewels Is Reported.
