Georgia Motorists Pay
1 1-2 Billion In
Gasoline Taxes
All-time collections of motor
fuel taxes by the state of Geo
gria reached $1,485,397,000 by
the end of 1963, according to
K. H. McCullough, Chairman of
the Petroleum Council of Geo
gria.
Basing his comments on fig
ures fro n, the U. S. Bureau
of Public Roads, McCollough
pointed out Georgia imposed
its first gasoline tax Aug. 10,
1921, at the rate of If a gal
lon. During the first full year
of collection the tax brought
$754,000, into the state trea
sury.
“Comparison with today’sfig
ures,” he said,“reveals the
heavy burden motorists are
carrying. At the current rate
of 6 1/2? a gallon, estimated
motor fuel tax collections by
this state for 1963 were $96,
613,000.
“This means that in only 3
days’ time, we now pay as much
motor fuel taxes to the state
as were once paid in an en
tire year,” McCullough said.
“Motorists here, as in every
state, also pay a federal gaso
line tax of 4? a gallon, he ad
ded. Combined federal and state
taxes on motor fuel cost ve
hicle owners across the Unit
ed States $6.4 billion in 1963-
an all-time high.

Os the 27, eight of the moth
er porpoises had conceived in
the ocean prior to capture.
Five of their calves were born
alive.
In the remaining 19 cases,
all conceived in captivity, there
were 15 successful live births.
If the birth is successful, the
new calf, being an air-breath
ing mammal, will, within ten
seconds, swin to the surface of
the water to take its first brea
th of air. The baby will be a
strong swimmer, keeping pace
with its mother, and will us
ually swin with the tip of its
flipper touching the mother’s
side. While doing so, the young
PAGE 7
porpoise often keeps its eye
closest to the mother open, as
if watching her, while the other
eye remains closed.
Generally, a second female
porpoise will act as quardian,
accompanying the new mother
and calf about the tank, to fend
off danger.
The currently expectant fe
male will remain under con
tinuous observation at Marine
land of Florida.
Georgia forest owners are
producing over 80 percent of
all the turpentine and rosin
produced in the entire United
States, report foresters with
