T. Melton, executive secretary of the South Carolina Petroleum Indus tries committee. ’This represents a 16.6% increase over the first half of 1946, setting a new high in the 16 year history of gaaollne tax col lections. During the first six months of 1941, when automobile registrations were at their peak, gasoline tax revenues amounted to 97,459,244.00. Special taxes paid by motor vehicle owners rose from a 1941 figure of 963.02 per vehicle to 973.61 in 1946. reflecting the Increased use of, and dependence of the public on, care and trucks. The total 1947 gasoline tax bill alone is expected to reach 920,000,000.00. Mr. Melton said. "In terms of highway construc- tlon.” he added, “this means that motorists will pour 923,400,000.0<' In gasoline taxes and registration fees into the state highway fund Ihls year (which with Unspent balances will make the largest state con struction fund in history).’’ “Even though we have become sccustomed to talk of roads In thousands of miles and road funds In millions of dollars, there is an element of awe In the fact that South Carolina motorists alone pui*! a gasoline tax bill of 99,732,715.00 during the first six’months of 1947.” Use ^Chronicle Want Ads ATHLETES FOOT ITCH HOW TO STOP IT MAKE 5 MINUTE TEST Get TE-OL at any drug atora.
