Two Cent Gas Tax In Effect Since April 1
The state imposes a two cent per gallon gasoline tax starting April 1 replacing the prior one cent tax in effect since January 1 1921. Over 27 months the old tax raised more than half a million dollars with two thirds going to the state general fund and one third to county school funds. The new tax allocates 40 percent to the general fund 20 percent to the highway commission fund and 40 percent to counties for road maintenance. The Homestake reports a new well on the Oldham tract Cat Creek.
