Carbon Black Tax Measure Discarded in Legislature
The carbon black tax bill was withdrawn from the House files by its sponsors Representatives E. G Burke and Peter A Hand of New Orleans. The measure would have levied half a cent per pound on carbon black or half a cent per thousand feet of natural gas used in production, but was deemed to hurt small firms. The move was announced as the bill stood for a passage vote in Baton Rouge. In a separate note, Texas Governor James W Alfred sent thanks to Louisiana Governor Richard W Leche for the recent Dallas visit for the Texas centennial events.
