nor Cochran said that an analysis
made by highway engineers showed
that the main reason for a reduction
in gasoline tax revenues for the first
nine months of Hi37 was that the
i tax was reduced from 5 to 4 cents
a gallon for 2S days, starting last
February TS.
Receipts up to October 1 were
24 8.700 less than for the same
period last year. The state treasur
er's office incorrectly placed the drop
at $ SCO. 000 in a statement issued
earlier in the week.
An analysis of the reduction dis
closed that $214,000 of the decrease
was accounted for by the lc reduc
tion for the 2 8 day period last
spring. This resulted from a dis
agreement within the legislature as
to how revenue from the gasoline
tax should be allocated.
