The City Corporation:
The division of motor vehicles collects gasoline and vehicle taxes; the state corporation commission handles insurance company and public service corporation taxes. The department of taxation, in conjunction with the county and city officials, handles all other taxes, including corporation, inheritance, real and personal property, graduated income, and poll taxes. In addition, the state derives considerable revenue from the taxing and selling of liquor through the Alcoholic Beverage Commission.The coup d'etat in which the Burmese government was taken over by the army in September-October 1958 was staged in Rangoon. In December of that year, the city corporation was dissolved, and Col. Tun Shein was appointed city administrator. Under his direction vigorous measures were taken to clean up the city and to clear out the refugee settlements, the inhabitants being moved to new colonies outside city limits. When the army again seized power in 1962, almost the only protest came from the students of the university, whose demonstration in July ended in the fatal shooting of 17 of them and the military demolition of the Students' Union Building.
