Yrvor, Mayo. /s/ Taeo Mass, City Slerk Ft, Walton Florida, 17 September, 1948 fown Clerk Ft, Walton Attention: Ir, HeCombs Dear Bens Concerning the matber of the tax on liquid butane, I would Mke to supply you with information for use of the Town in eonsidering this matter. ; It is my opinion, supported by an attorney's investigation, that cur Town has no authority to lewy a tax on the bulk sale of liquid butane into the personally owned tanks of the consumer. It is held that the Lown does not possess the right to tax any liquid petroleum fuel, be it gasoline, diesel oil, bunker "8" fuel, or butane. fhe matter is of considerable concern to us. We understand we are the second Blarzest users of brane in the town. Very sincerely yours, C, FINK FISCHER. i fy ) 4 f F f ? “ - , 4A } va 4. ‘ atte mh VJ ya va cs “A me oe ) / fet 2 t, A att Zu ?
