Owners of automobile and other motor vehicles throughout Virginia felt the first effect of the special motor fuel tax today, when the law enacted at the extraordinary session of the General Assembly becomes effective under a ruling of Attorney-General Saunders. The law, which became operative today, imposes a tax of 2 cents per gallon on gasoline and other motor fuels until July 1, when the levy is increased to 3 cents per gallon. Revenue from the tax during the remainder of the current year will go to the highway construction fund to be expended by the State Highway Commission.
