Scates Attacks Tax Increase
Opponents fear that approval of a five cent gas tax this Fall could lead to a six or seven cent rate when the next Legislature convenes. They worry funds may be diverted to nonroad uses, noting past rises from three to five cents and referring to rising state motor taxes from 1922 to 1928.
Maine and New Hampshire motor taxes compared in debates
Maine faces higher motor taxes under a new law that shifts fees to municipalities and links charges to car age. The comparison with New Hampshire and Massachusetts highlights differences in rates, exemptions, and road funding aims, with caution about fuel taxes and state highway financing.
Water company may shut off service for delinquent bills
Deputy Attorney General Sanford L. Fogg cites that water companies or municipalities may demand advance payment, bill quarterly, and impose penalties. They may shut off water for overdue charges and refuse restoration until costs are reimbursed, with liability to the bill payer. The case cites Roberts v. Railway Co. and notes action rests with the taker who neglected payment.
