INTERNAL REv8NUB DECISION. N.-Commis
sIoner Delano has decided that the act of July
Goth, 1s6e, requires that cigars shall be packed
in boxes not before used for that purpose
manufacturer cannot therefore legally refill old
boxes though he carefully removes all traces
Of former use. Cigar boxes, however, may be
taken apart and planed, and the material used
in the construction OF new boxes without yio-
lation Of law. Retail dealers are allowed to
sell tobacco at retail from wooden packages
properly stamped, but if they remove the to-
bacco from such packages to jars or show cases
1t becomes liable to seizure, and the burden OF
the proof is upon the dealer to show that the
same had complied with the requirements OF
law.
