The new tax on the transpoitation of property becomes , effective December 1, 1942, and applies to the amounts paid foi transporting property by rail, motor,vehicle, water, or air from one point in the United States to another. The rate of tax is three per cent of the amount paid, except that in the case of coal the rate is four cents per short ton. Effective November 1, the existing rates of tax on amounts paid for the transportation of persons by rail, motor vehicle, water or air and on berths and seats fur- . nished in connection with such ■ transportation were increased from five to 10 per cent of the amount paid. The increases in the rates of tax on telegraph and telephone service and the effective dates on . such increases are as follows: Effective November 1, the rate of . tax""bn -telegraph, cable or radio dispatches or messages (except ; international dispatches or messages) has been increased from 10 • to 15 per cent, and the rate of ftax on telephone and radio telephone toll charges of 25 cents or more has been changed from the present rate of five cents for each 50 cents of the charge to a straight 20 per cent rate; effective November 2, the rate of tax on local telephone- service was increased from six per cent to 10 per cent, and the rate orC\leaaedwire, teletypewriter and/ talking circuit special service /has been increased from 10 to la per cent.

lon.

One of the changes made in the tax on coin-operated amusement devices.V the Commissioner said, will be of special interest to proprietors of restaurants, bars, taverns, penny arcades and similar establishments. This is the provision which broadens the scope of the existing tax on so-called “pin-baU’’ and other similar coin-operated amusement machines to include all amusement and music machines . operated by the insertion of a -coin, token or similar object. This particular change became effective November 1 and has the effect of bringing within the scope of this tax the so-called “juke boxes” and all other types of coin-operated amusement or music machines. The tax is at the fate of $10 per year on each machine and is payable by the person maintaining the machine for use or permitting its use on the, premises. The Commissioner emphasized that proprietors of restaurants, bars^ taverns, penny arcades and other establishments having one or more amusement or music machines on their premises., on which tax has not heretofore been paid should communicate-with the Collector of Internal Revenue for their district as .soon as possible - with a view to securing the necessary forms and satisfying their liability for the tax. Another change made by the Act was to increase the rate of tax on coin-operated gaming devices from $50 to $100 a year. This change, however, does not , become effective until July 1, 1943. -

County Schools Will Observe Anniversary — continued From Page One — Considering the need for strictly local observances of the event, due to curtailed transportation facilities and the advisability of “avoiding unnecessary expenditures, needless travel and use of time vital to the war effort,” it would not, Director Jackson pointed out, be possible to give proper attention to the anniversary without the cooperation of the County School Superintendent and the principals and teachers of the various schools. Ricker devoted a portion of the County Teacher’s Bulletin, issued October 24, to the coming celebration. In it he named a list of books, all or parts of which concern Cape May County, that may be obtained from the county library, either directly or through its various branches. The books may be used in arranging programs for next' week, or will be of interest to all Cape May Countians who wish to learn more about this section’s history. It was from these books that the data for the anniversary booklet was obtained. The books listed by Mr; Ricker
