DIsPENSARY LICENSE TAX.
To Be Paid Into the School Fund of til,
County.

The House yesterday had another
lengthey discussion of the dispensary
auesiion--w whether or ont Il privilege tax
should be imposed on them.
The matter came up during consolida-
tion of the Revenue Bill Wednesday and
after two hours debate. was passed
over for settlement yesterday.
The following section. fixing a grad
mated license tax. to be paid into the
school fund of the county in which the
dispensary is located, was adopted:
.sAnd it shall be the duty Of all man
ayers of dispensaries to pay TO the coun-
ty treasurer for the benefit of the school
fund of the county in which such dis
pensaries are located all the taxes here
in imposed on such dispensaries.
1. Each dispeIfsary for town of less
than 1000 people. 500.
2. Each dispensary for township in
any county the sum of $500.
3. Each dispensary for a town of
more than 1000 Inhabitants and not ex,
ceeding 5000 inhabitants the sum of
800.
4. Each dispensary for a town or city
of more than 5000 Inhabitants and not
exceeding 5000 inhabitants, $500.
<. Each dispensary for town or city OF
more than 5000 inhabitants. and each
dispehsary for a county $780,
The amendment fixing the above tax
was introduced by Mr.. Winston, Of Ber>
tie. This amendment, however, provi-
ded for payment of the tax into the State
Treasury as a permanent school fund.
And TO this latter provision there was
most determined opposition. To the
proposition to tax dispensaries per Sc
there was little objection, but to putting
this tax into the State Treasury to be
distributed over tile whole State there
was most decided objection.
To meet this objection Mr. Craig, OF
Buncombe. amended the amendment 50
as 10 pnt the tax in the county school
fund.
This was adopted with practically no
opposition and the section now stands as
printed above.
After the adoption Of the dispensary
fax clause MIR. Council endeavored to
haye the word MAY changed to SHALL
in the section providing for the issue by
the county commissioners of license to
sell liquor.
The effect of this amendment was II
take away from the commissioners al
discretionary power in regard to grant
inc license and make ii COMPULSORY.
IL failed by an Overwhelming vote.
