Gore Revenue Plan Hits Snag
Charleston June 2 The compromise plan of revenue raising presented to the legislature last night by the special joint committee hit a snag today when the finance committee of the house of delegates tabled the new measure in committee. The action records a favoring of the substitute reported last week for the original revenue bill. Major differences include gas tax rates 2.5 percent versus 1.25 percent and oil rate 1 percent, coal unchanged. The alternative would raise about 1.2 million extra revenue, vs just over 0.92 million for the original. The morning session featured rulings on orders about payments to legislative attaches and a tobacco tax bill for school use passed in order. J J Johnson of Mineral County was elected sergeant at arms. The report ends with a note that Paris is holding a street car strike.
