Choci duthoiily VI the dmtuudlOTy
act to the internal-revenue law pro-
viding for the manufacture of de-
'natured alcohol the commissioner of
internal revenue has just completed
the new denatured alcohol regulations
which viii take effect Sept. 1 next
The old regulations were found to
be unnecessarily stringent in some
points and the new regulations have
liberalized materially the govern
ment's method of handling the de-
natured alcohol industry. Inasmuch
as this industry, when fully known
and appreciated by the farmers OF the
country, is expected to save much of
the farm waste in grains, fruits and
vegetables and in turn is expected
eventually to be source of cheap
fuel supply to the country, the new
regulations, which are based on close
Investigation of foreign methods and
domestic conditions, are of great in
terest at this time.
! Under the new regulations, as under
the old, regularly registered distiller-
les may construct denatuEng ware
houses en- distillery premises. In addi-
ton to denatur.ng warehouses on distil-
lery premises, central denaturing ware
houses may be constructed and oper-
ated at such points as in the opinion
of the commissioner of internal reve-
nue. the business interests of the
country may require.
PROJECTORS of central denaturing
warehouses may transfer thereto for
denaturation alcohol prouced at
their own distilleries or alcohol pur-
chased by them.
Manufacturers using completely de-
natured alcohol are not required to
set aside storeroom in which to
keep the denatured product, but may
keep it stored in locked tanks any,
where on their premises.
Dealers in denatured alcohol are not
required to swear to application for
permit. and a permit when secured
continues in force until revoked, and
will not, therefore, have to be re
newed annually as heretofore.
Retail dealers in denatured alcoho
are not required to keep record Of
any kind. They may purchase al
cohol in stamped packages of five gal
Ions or more, or from tank wagons
in quantities of five gallons or more
or they may purchase it in quantities
of less than five gallons, provided II
be taken from stamped packages OF
duly authorized tank wagons.
One of the most Important features
of the new regulations is that relat
ing to the construction and operation
, of industrial distilleries. Industrial
!, ,distflleries may produce alcohol from
anything that contains fermentable
matter.
Industrial distilleries are divided
into two classes. In the first class
/. are placed distilleries of surveyed
capacity of fifty proof gallons or less
of spirits in twenty-four hours. A
, distilleries of this class storekeeper
gaugers or other officers are not regu
larry assigned and the distillery may
operate without the presence of al
officer unless the collector certifies tina
/ in his opinion the presence of an OF
J. ficer at particular distillery is neces
sary.
!, Distilleries of the second-class ar,
), those that produce more than fit,
gallons and less than 100 gallons o
distilled spirits daily. At distilleriei
of this class an officer will be regu
larry assigned unless the collecto
. shall certify that in his opinion tn.
distllery can safely operate withou
the presence of an officer.
!, Industrial distilleries to which no OF
ficer is regularly assigned are place,
!, in charge of general storekeeper
gauger, who is required to visit eacl
(. distillery to which he is assigned a
: irregular intervals.
