THE TAX ON BRANDY.

assessors Office, K s. Internal Revenue, /
Sd District, N. G., Salisbury, Sept. 20. !
Hon. William Orion, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue
Sir:-A good many Of the distillers of brandy
in this district, especially those who distilled for
their neighbors, have now got through distill-
ing for the present year. In the mean time,
they, the distillers, have permitted their neigh
bors to take away the brandy thus made for
them, and have sold that which belongs to
themselves. It has been impossible for me to
assess this brandy.for the want of organization
In the absence of the proper officer, collector,
to grant these distillers licenses, they contend
that they are not liable for the tax of one dollar
and Fifty cents per gallon.
Of course, don't think as they do, but what
want to know is, shall require these distillers
to return upon oath the amount of brandy they
have thus permitted to leave their establishment
from the time they commenced the distilla.ion
of the same.
Very respectfully,
Fl. H: HELPER, Assessor.
