AUGUSTA, JAM 16-A communication was
received from the Secretary of State trans
hitting the annual report of the State Liquor
Commissioner for the year ending Nov 80,
1868, which was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary. The Commissioner says that
the low price at which inferior aud spurious
liquors can be bought has led to their purchase
and sale at agencies in different towns, and for
feted liquors have been taken to the agencies
and put on sale. In the examination of num-
erous samples which have been seized, he finds
that the greater portion of them are spurious
and unfit for medical purposes, and he thinks
the public welfare would be promoted if all
forfeited liquors were required to be destroyed.
unless, perhaps, legal provision might be made
that those having some alcoholic value should
be disposed of to some distller to be redis-
titled or made into alcohol. He also suggests
whether the interests of the State would not
be essentially advanced were provision made
for the appointment of Board of Supervis-
ors, whose duty it should be to see that the
agencies and State Commission are properly
conducted, to aid the Jaws against crime gen.
orally, and especially those relating to the sale
of intoxicating liquors. The report shows the
total amount of sales to be 1O6,861. 80. aad the
total amount of commissions $6481.32.
