.rict, kentucky: Sir,-A letter has been
received at this office from belong & Har-
they report the loss of several days in
time, from accidents to the machinery III
their distillery and in making alterations
therein in order 20 conform to the require
ments Of the law, and asking that you be
authorized TO deduct from the assessment Of
the capacity tax against them accordingly.
In reply, have to say that the law
makes no provision for an allowance of the
character asked for; that prior TO the dis
tillers' commencing, the survey was made
Of their distill-I.', and its daily capacity
fixed therein, and they informed thereof :;
and they should have been knowing to the
fact that section ~ Of the act of July 20,
1865, requires that the assessment shall not
he for a less quantity than eighty per cent.
of such capacity for the time the distillery
is in operation that there is but one con-
dition Of facts known TO the law under
which the disiillery can lie known as not
in opcration-yiz., due notice having been
given Of suspension, accompanied by the
certificate OF the assistant assessor that at
the time the locks were placed Oh the fur
mace doors no mash, wort, or beer, was on
hand on the premises. The law allows the
twenty per cent. off from the total capa-
city, hut il is definite and imperative that
the assessment shall not be Tor less than
eighty yer cent. thereof. Very respectfully,
+. A. ROLLINS, Commissioner.
