BREVITIES
The new law does not make it
easy tor tne consumer to secure
refunds on exemptions. Comp-
troller Terrell has outlined the
necceeearv procedure for the ex
et lptee consumer as follows:
1. The purchaser must fill out
an invoice, at the time of the
purchase, giving amount, price,
etc. The regular price is paid
for the gas Forms will be sup-
plied by dealers and tilling sta-j
•.iops.
2. Before the 28th of the
month following the month
of purchase, the buyer must
report to the Comptroller
he number of gallons bougnt and
he amount of refunds expected
-laims reported later than the
!5th of the month will not bt
ignored. %
3. On receiving the report,
he Comptroller's department
rill mail the claimant an affidav-
»-account form, on which will be
ecorded information as to the
•mount and use of gasoline pur
based This information musl
oust be sworn to before a notary
jubiic, and filed with the Cotn-
troller not later than two months
rom the date of purchase. Thk
I •cument must be accompaniec
rith a filling fee of $1.00 which
■ust be paid each time that a
: aim is filled. These fees will be
i.-ed to enforce the law
4 . The claim will be investi-
Ydted, and if considered valid, a
•tat* warrant will be issued for
he refund. This warrant musl
- cashed within 60 days
