Maine Gas Tax Plan Aimed to Boost State Revenue
Westbrook businessman John Clark Scates urges Maine voters to reject a six cent gas tax by recounting past increases and the fiscal impact on motorists. He cites dropped car registrations, federal taxes, and rising state costs for police, registration, highways, debt service, and road repairs to argue against higher levies.

Modern Causeway at Winnegance Replaces Old Wooden Bridge
The newly completed causeway at Winnegance replaces the old wooden bridge built in 1801. It was a joint project by the state, Bath city, Phippsburg town, and Sagadahoc County under the State Highway department, with contractor Frank W. Carlton of Woolwich. The work includes a diving raft south of the causeway and has attracted daily visitors from Bath and nearby areas. The project eliminates ongoing wooden-bridge maintenance costs and creates a lake south of the causeway suitable for summer bathing, boating, and fishing, with winter use as well.

Maine Motorists Pay $1,385,000 for Nonroad Costs
The document notes that about $1,385,000 collected from Maine motorists in registration fees and gas levies does not fund road construction or maintenance. It warns that an additional roughly $900,000 from a proposed gas tax increase would not convert to federal aid as claimed, labeling such hopes as delusional.
