The above statement has been COM
piled from figures submitted and
sworn to by the respective county
dispensary boards or their author1z, 2,
ed clerks. However, it might be well
to state in regard to the bfeakase ae-
count that the comparisons made are
not altogether just, inasmuch as some
boards have returned railroad snort
age as breakages, thus swelling the
breakage account. In many instances
claims we're filed for the shortage and
have been paid, which would mater,
iallv lessen this account. The account
is in the main correct. In order to
make this comparison it was neces'
sarv to take some county as stand
ard by which the others might be
compared. In this case Abbeville
which came first alphabetically, was
used. Its percentage of breakage
was taken as 100. A county having
per cent of 1S4 means that its break
ace was 1.S4 times as great as tna'
of the county with which it was com
pared, Abbeville.
It might be we'll also to state tha'
the profit made by some of the coun
ties is somewhat larger than has beer
reported. inasmuch as they nave
charged up fixtures. bottling outfits
etc.. to the expense account and these
we're not taken in as assets III making
up the statement.
The item Of breakage is very I'M
portant, as it may be used to cover {
multitude Of sins. It Will be well To-
