Bay State Proposes Cut in Auto Registration Fee
Boston March 8 AP An House taxation committee proposal would lower motor vehicle registration fees to three dollars and levy a three cent gasoline tax. The plan, dissenting members aside, would collect tax from district distributors and wholesalers and channel funds to roads. Officials say it would preserve roughly current revenue, abolish the existing horse and wagon method, and include exemptions for gasoline used in manufacturing and motor boats.
