I
Commissioner
Makes Ruling
On Oil Stations
New Revenue Law Applies to
Retail Rather Than Whole
1 tale Companies, 0.
borne Declare.
Lincoln, Oct. 31. (Speclal-The
term "oil distributing station" i it
ppein in the new revenue law of
Nebraska it construed by State Tax
commissioner Usborne to rn'an
"filling stations." where automobile
and other motor vehicles are sup
plied, and not the central tank sta
tions of companiei, where on is re.
ceived by carload, stored and after
ward rethioDed by rail.
Mr. Osborne announced, following
conference with Attorney H. If.
Herdman and H. W. Piermont of
Omaha, that he would investigate
the business of oil filling station
over the itate in order to ascertain
the proper divisor to be recommen
ded to all Nebraska assessor a
basis on which those concerns
ahould be assessed, on average cap
ital.
Under the old revenue laws, grain
dealer were a sseised on average
capital, instead of their property on
hand April 1. The average capital
wa determined a general prac
tice by taking the entire business
done during the year and- dividing it
by 36. This wa the theory they had
made a turnover every ten daya on
an average and that their capital was
thus used 36 times in the course of
a year.
In enacting the new law, the legis
lature extended this method of as
aessment to cover oil distributing
stations, beet sugar factories, and
some other lines of business. In the
cases of oil stations, a larger di
visor than 36 will be used, as it is
assumed that they make more fre
quent turnover than grain elevator
do.
