Panel Votes To Hike Federal Gasoline Tax
The House Ways and Means Committee voted a one cent increase in the federal gasoline tax to Sept 1 for 22 months to sustain highway funding. A second move raised the motor fuel tax to 4 cents until June 1961 and diverts portions of auto and parts taxes to the highway fund. The plan aims to provide roughly 1.8 billion for 1961 and 2 billion for 1962, with states receiving large allotments as the highway program resumes.
