Important to Grape Brandy DistiIIers.

D. ID. PRATT, Commissioners of In
ternal Revnue, has recently made
ruling which will be read with interest
by the grape brandy manufacturers of
the Pacific coast. 1t is due to Mr.. FoULK
Federal Supervisor on this coast, to
say that he has been indefatigable
in his efforts to relieve our grape
brandy distillers from the heavy and
unjust tax heretofore imposed on their
products and we may add that it is
mainly due to his exertions that the
decision has been obtained. Under
the ruling of Commissioner PRATT, a
vast amount of material heretofore
thrown away will be utilized and
large increase in the brandy product
will consequently follow. Here is the
decision of the Commissioner:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
Washington, Aug 10, 1915.
The fact having been demonstrated that
the addition Of n smell quantitie OF burnt su-
garis, and always has been, a part of the Or
iginal process of the manufacture of distilled
spirits known to the trade as Grape Brandy,
not only in this country, but in all countries
where such brandy is produced, distillers OF
brandy from grapes are hereby Erempted
from SO much OF the provisions of Section
3244 of the Revised Statutes. as would render
such distillers liable asrectfers, i'm consequence
of the addition OF such burnt sugar to their
product while on the distillery premises and
In the original packages. In order that the
interests OF the revenue may be fully pro :
tected under this exemption, the following
regulation is promulgated.
Distillers of brandy from grapes wishing to
add such burnt sugar to their product, must
do so before the brandy leaves the distillery
premises, in the presence Of the United
States Gauger, after such brandy has been
gauged, and before the tax-paid stamp has
been affixed.
Rectiiers' stamps will not hereafter be re-
quired upon such Brandies so treated, but {
may be placed upon the market under the
original tax-paid stamps. IL is believed that
not more than from four to six ouncis ofburnt
Ougar are necessary to each forty proof gal
Ions of fGrape Spirits.
