SALES TAX RULING
IS CLARIFIED FOR
PRIME CONTRACTOR
City Attorney Howard D. Stabler
today gave an opinion on how the
city sales tax shall be collected in
the case of materials furnished by
a contractor or sub contractor. He
stated:
“In the case of services performed
for another whi^h includes the fur
nishing of materials as well as la
bor, such as services and materials
furnished by a plumber, a carpent
er, or other contractor, for the job,
as the plumber, carpenter or other
contractor is not the consumer. In
such cases the overall bill of the
plumber carpenter or other contrac
tor for services should include,
without deductions as provided by
the ordinance, the selling price of
all services, materials and labor
furnished, and also the selling of
all services, labor and materials
furnished by a sub contractor, and
the tax based upon the whole price
charged to the consumer or person
receiving the benefit of the services
and materials. The rule in such
cases is: The sub-contractor shall
not collect the tax from the con
sumer. The prime contractor shall
collect the tax from the owner or
consumer for the overall work per
formed and materials furnished,
and which shall include services,
labor and materials supplied by
sub-contractors.
“To which might be added some
thing to the following effect:
“In such cases where the tax is
not collected from the plumber,
carpenter or other contractor, the
seller shall require such plumber,
carpenter or other contractor to en
dorse on the sale slip, or other
memorandum made of the sale, the
name of the person for whom, or
for whose job, such materials were
purchased, and his own name; and
the seller shall so account for such
sale and non payment of the tax in
his next ensuing quarterly repdrt
to the City.”

GABLE, YOUNG IN
FAST COMEDY AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
I _
Clark Gable back In an out-and
out comedy is happy news for film
fans. Gable currently co-stars with
Loretta Young on the Capitol The
atre's screen in the dizzy and daffy
romantic comedy, “Key to the City."
It's the first Gable picture of its
kind since the memorable “It Hap
pened One Night" and it’s jam-full
of slam-bang action, zany charac
terizations and some of the most
side-splitting situations seen in a
lifetime of comedies.
Gable has the role of a two-fisted
longshoreman who becomes mayor
of a large city. He sideswipes a gang
of crooked politicians, then finds
himself up to his neck in a fight
against love. His opponent in this
battle, of course, is the attractive
Miss Young, cast as a prim lady
mayor from the rock-bound coast
of Maine. At least, she is prim when
she first meets Gable. But before he
has convinced her that love-and
kisses are much more interesting
than politics she finds herself in
volved in a riot taking place in one
of San Francisco’s Chinese cafes,
lands in jail, goes to a party in a
kiddie’s costume (and wait until you
see Gable as Little Lord Fauntle
roy!) is the object of a mad chase
led by Gable piloting a fire,ermine,
and ends up in a hair-pulling con
test with her rival—an Atom Dan
cer!
