Sentiment Grows For 3-Cent Gas Tax
Lansing reports growing support for a 3 cent gas tax in 1926 with agricultural groups urging Gov. Groesbeck to consider raising the levy from 2 to 8 cents. The gas tax has produced about 9 million dollars this year, costing the state under 60 thousand to collect, with counties receiving 1.5 million for state reward highway costs now rising to 2 million in 1926. The total owed to counties drops as reward claims are checked, and preliminary reviews show overcharges of 103 thousand dollars in 18 counties, with potential savings of at least 500 thousand dollars once all counties are examined.
