Petty Smuggling 0f E. S. Gasoline Shows Decrease

FREDERICTON, Nov. l8-—(CP) More than 1.000 New Brunswick motorists have been forccd to pay customs duty, sales tax and pro- vincini fox on gasoline they bought in Maine this year. The action was token to prevent petty smug- Bllug of the fuel developing to It" w.- v\v‘lvvvryrfl-v1c_

For years many border residents 0i ,,_......c iiiaoe a practice oi huying mos: of their gasoline in Maine, where the price is lower. The? would drive across the bord- ll’ with nearly empty tanks and return with full ones.

This practice in time resulted in llliie loss of Dominion and Dro- vincial revenue as well as loss to N"? Brunswick service stations near the border. Ottawa lo=t the customs duty and sales tax. Mid

8w Brunswick failed to get the Drovlncial tax, amounting to l0 cents a gallon this year.

Last spring the Dominion and New Bruns ck governments agre- 94 lo ioin in an effort to stop the traffic. customs , ‘ rs at llorts of entry along the bordor RN instructed to ask all New

the amount oi Maine

Brunswick motorists returning from Maine if they had bought gasoline in that state.

Those replying in the affirma- tive were obliged to piiy immed- iately the customs duty of one cent per gallon and the eight per cent sales tax. Details noted by the customs officers went to the motor vehicle branch oi the pro- vincial department oi public works here_ A few days later these mo- torists received a bill for the pro- vlnclal tax.

If motorists are dishonest when questioned about gasoline pur- chases their reports cannot be disproved by customs officers. However, a great decrease in the smuggling testifies to the moral effect of the campaign.

New Brunswick ales Increase

A big gain has been shown in the volume oi motor fuel sold at service stations in New Brunswick border towns. In one week. when the public knew a particularly close check was being made. 3.000 more gallons were sold at St. Ste hen than ' in the previous

w .

eOther border points reported the same story Figures shown. that despite heavier traffic in

brought across the line in New Brunswick cars was considerably less than in June. Motorists found that after psylnﬂ D0lﬂ1lll°ll "l4

oline at home.

When the campaign started the department of public works coin- pared gasoline sales at Bt. Stephen and Kentville, N. 8., towns of ap- proximately the same size. Kent- ville vendors sold 550.000 gallons last year while only 276,000 gal- lons were sold in St. Stephen. This was taken to indicate that about half the gasoline used at 5t. Stephen was purchased in Maine, with a consequent loss of $7,750 in provincial revenue.

The average "gas-runner!" car- go is five gallons. With on 1,000 motorists caught trying to mport gasoline illegally this additional revenue for New Brunskick is no more than I500. A larger amount was spent in conducting the check- up but increased revenue from more gasoline sales along the bord- er. in addition tothe $000. leaves a balance in favor of the govern-

nient

Officials believe that a reduc- tion in the price of New Brunswick gasoline this fall. combined th trlif campaign, will stop the smug‘- g ng.

The part of John Randolph, Sh, was played by Fred Young, who, by his acting in the breath-taking situations when seemed that his reputation as a candidate running for Mayor of the city would be mined, greatly glleased the audience. Walter ood, in playing he part of John Randolph.
