Council Debates Commission Government and Gasoline Tax
Mayor Posner cites debate over adopting a commission form to repeal the gasoline tax if two more commissioners were elected. A circuit court injunction aims to stop the tax from operating. Council members named include BL McClanes, PLOL, ul- Her, BO Boston, T. G. Rosser, and J. W. Johnson. Benton reportedly did not vote for the tax. The levy would bring in about 140 dollars monthly.
