Gasoline Tax May Be Dropped By Harrisburg
Associated Press reports government forces delayed action on re enacting the one cent a gallon emergency gasoline tax in Harrisburg. Elimination would save Pennsylvania motorists about 17 million dollars and boost Governor Martin's tax cut program to roughly 52 million over two years. A Republican Senate leader noted patience until near session end to allow veto time. Governor Martin had stated he would wipe out the tax if revenues permit. House salary provisions and local government reforms also moved, with committees advancing measures on teacher pay, city manager form adoption for third class cities, and a referendum clause trimmed. Senate panels backed bingo legalization for licensed groups and proposed tighter liquor curfews. a House bill to freeze local option liquor referenda during wartime faced floor action.
