Gore Declares He Gave Approval to Only One Tax Bill
Washington May 27 Former vice president Thomas R. Marjamal, ill at the New Wil mar hotel, slowly recovers as doctors say improvement continues. Governor Gore’s stance on two proposed measures, one raising the gross sales tax and another on automobile license tags, is that he did not sponsor or intend to approve them though they bear the legislature’s approval. The report notes a separate gasoline tax proposal and a motor car license tax bill, with legislators adjourning briefly in tribute to Col W H C Curtin whose death prompted resolutions. The session adjourned with several revenue bills on first reading and others tabled or sent to committees.
