TAX ON PUMPS AFFECTS ONLY ‘GAS’ DEALERS City Council Head Explains Ordinance Doesn’t Apply to Private Owners. Business men who have been appealing to him not to let the ordinance taxing gasoline pumps sls a year be passed be cause it would place another burden upon private business enterprises are mis taken In their premise, Theodore J. Bernd, president of the city council, said today. A big oil producing company has writ ten a letter to many local firms asking them to potest to Mr. Bernd and Mayor Shank against the ordinance. The pro ducing company gave the business men the impression all pumps in private garages were to be taxed sls a year, Mr. Bernd said, and as a result he has received 110 letters. “The ordinance, which was Introduced last Monday evening, applies only to pumps in public garages and filling sta tiens,’ said Mr. Bernd. "It does uot in any way affect any pump in any private ; garage. Many firms which operate fleets of trucks and touring cars have pumps to supply their own equipment, the coun cil well knows. Os course, we did not intend to tax such firms, and the or dinance does not do so. The only people ; we intended to tax are those in the busi i ness of selling gasoline for profit.” ! The ordinance probably will come up i for a vote at the regular meetiug next ; Monday evening.
