Attorney-GeneraPs Office Construes Law.
Jaekson.-Auditor Thompson request
ed the attorney-generals office for a rul-
ing on the language OF that portion OF
Fl. B. No. 767 which levies privilege
tax on concerns bottling coco-cola and
similar drinks, and as there are inau-
merable establishments of the sort in
the state, the decision of that office will
be of much value, not only to the tax
collectors of counties and municipalities,
but to the people interested therein as
we'll
The opinion was given by Capt Frank
Johnston, first assistant attorney-gen-
eral, and is as follows:
"In my opinion the proper construc-
tion of this statute is in respect to the
business done by the concern, and not
the technical maximum capacity of the
plant.
The principle of the statute, fairly
construed, is, that being an occupation
tax the tax should be determined by the
actual volume of business of the con-
cern, estimated on fair average basis.
