It is absolutely Accessary to our present business activities. However, when the price of gasoline is discussed, it must be remem bered that this commodity is being taxed in the State of Georgiy possibly to a greater extent than any other commodity in general use. The present Georgia law provides for an inspection tax of l-2c per gallon on gasoline, and an occupation tax of lc per gallon. On October 1,1923, the occupation tax on gaso line will be advanced from lc to 3c per gallon. - r i ra This means that on and after October 1st, n e x t, t he price at which you purchase Crown Gasoline at any of our Georgia Service Stations will include 3 l-2c per gallon, which this Company will pay the State of Georgia Eind which is equivalent to between 17 per cent and 20 per cent j» of our sales prices. Also, these taxes are more than three j times the net profit per gallon realized by this Company on its sales of Crown Gasoline in Georgia. STANDARD OIL COMPANY INCORPORATED ' / / O' i U 1
