Maine House Passes Three Cent Gasoline Bill
The Maine House approved final passage of a three cent gasoline tax bill on Friday with two amendments by Senator Clyde H. Smith. One amendment sets a 33 13 percent receipts allocation and the other grants an exemption to two gallons per read, affecting farm tractors and marine or stationary draft. Representative Oakes offered a reconamendment to remove the Littlefield provision granting a 20 day free stay for passenger cars in Maine, while maintaining current reciprocity for trucks. Littlefield argued Massachusetts plates dominate travel between Portsmouth and Portland. The Oakes amendment passed by voice vote and the measure moves to engrossment.
