HIT BOTH WAYS.
MOTORISTS IN ENGLAND.
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) LONDON, April 20.
Excitement prevails in motoring circles in England owing to a report to the effect that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr, Churchill, intends to impose a duty of 6d a gallon on petrol and to leave the present tax of £1 per horse-power unchanged. Motorists had hoped that the horse-power tax would be reduced 10/ and did not suspect the possibility of a spirit tax. This, it is stated, the Chancellor requires to finance his ambitious scheme for relieving the rates.
