NEW YORK GAS TAX UP
Agitation For Auto Fuel Levy
is
Revived
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 17.-Agitation for the proposed two-cents a gallon tax on gasoline, which subsided last spring when legislative leaders agreed that the state could weather another year of financial storms without its assistance, was started again today at an unofficial hearing in the assembly chamber of the capitol. The hearing was called by Col. Frederick Stuart Greene, State superintendent of public works. Arthur W. Brandt, State highway commissioner, presided.
Col. Greene declared himself as "absolutely favoring a gasoline tax the most popular tax of our time"
He pointed out that New York and Massachusetts are the only states without a gasoline tax and that the purpose of the hearing is to endeavor to frame a law that would suit everybody and "end this deadlock."
