Maryland seeks 2 cent gas tax hike for roads and bridges
Senate President Goldstein introduced a bill to raise the state gasoline tax from 6 to 8 cents per gallon effective July 1, 1957. Revenue, expected at about 16 million dollars yearly, would fund roads not in the federal interstate system plus several proposed bridges. The measure argues out‑of‑state motorists would largely pay the increase and cites specific routes and proposed projects in Maryland.
