!. Below we give a new ruling
with regard to denatured alco-
lhol, which may be of interest
to our readers:
: Washington, July 25.-
lAmended denatured alcohol
regulations have been issued by
the commissioner of internal
revenue, to take the place on
lSeptember | of the regulations
heretofore issued, and are made
necessary by the act passed by
the last congress.
Under the new regulations,
in addition to denatured ware
houses on distillery premises,
central denaturing warehouses
may be constructed at such
points as business interests
may require and alcohol may
be transferred from denaturing
warehouses by means of tanks
or tank cars to consumers.
Manufacturers using complete
ly denatured alcohol are not re-
|quired to swear to application
| for permit, and a permit when
secured continues in force until
revoked, and retail dealers in
denatured alcohol are not re-
|quired to keep a record Of any
| kind.
Industrial or farm distilleries
may produce alcohol from any,
thing that contains fermentable
matter. At these distilleries
one room may be used as a
combined cistern, distillery
warehouse and denaturing
warehouse.
Industrial distilleries are di-
vided into two classes. In the
first class are placed distllleries
of a surveyed capacity of fifty
proof gallons or less of spirits
in twenty-four hours. At such
distilleries storekeeper gaugers
are not regularly assigned un-
less the collector certifies that
in his opinion the presence Of
Ian officer at a particular dis
tilIery is necessary.
Distilleries of the second
class are those that produce
more than fifty gallons and less
than one hundred gallons of
distilled spirits daily. At dis
|tilleries of this class an officer
will be regularly assigned UNI
less the collector shall certify
that the distillery can safely
operate without one.
j. c. Milliman Retires
The abstract and loan de-
partment of Stern & Milliman
will hereafter be under the ex-
elusive control of Almor Stern,
]. G. Milliman having disposed
Of his interest in that business
to Mr.. Stern. This does not
mean a dissolution of the part
nership that has existed be-
tween them for over % years.
January l, 1884, Immediately
after the close of his five year
service as auditor of Harrison
county, Almor Stern joined j.
G. Milliman, thus forming a
company for the purpose of abb
stracting titles and the land
and loan business has prospered
but Mr.. Milliman has grown
Tired and wishes to devote
more time to his personal af-
fairs and to rest so he has
transferred his interest in the
abstract and loan business to
Amor Stern, who took charge
Monday morning. There will
be no formal dissolution of
partnership until all the old
business that has not yet ma
tured has done so and is
properly closed. Mr.. Milliman
has no interest whatever in the
new business.
1t would be superfous for
the Observer to say anything
about the old company or the
new management, as nearly all
property holders of the county
have at one time or another
have been in touch with this
firm or one of its members and
in its % years of active bust
ness life the members of the
firm have gained a host of
friends. Logan Observer.
