TAKE INVENTORY OF
LIQUOR IN SALOONS
First Move To Collect $2.lO
Additional War Tax
On IntoxicantS
EXTRA 81 CENTS
ON EVERY QUART

AS the first move towards carrying
out the new additional war tax on
intoxicating liquors a squad Of from
fifteen to twenty revenue agents have
been working In Wilmington for two
days taking an inventory Of the
stock OF liquor dealers in the cty,
which includes all salOonkeepers.
This work on the part OF the rev.
enue agents has attracted much at
tention and comment among patrons
OF saloons who do not understand
the purpose OF this investigation.
Under tie new war tax each saloon
keeper is taxed $40 add tional for
each proof gallon of liquor that he
has on hand. over 80 gallons, thai
amount being exempted. This puts
in round figures an extra cost OF 81
cents a quart on each quart OF liquor
that he has on his premises over the
90 gallons exempted.
In case the dealer cannot or does
not want 10 pay this extra tax al
once the government allows him ia
furnish bond to guarantee pay
ment within seven months.
Up until October 4, the dealer hav'
ing goods in a bonded warehouse
had to pay a tax Of S110 a enllon to
get It out Under the new tax the
dealer is required 20 pay the add
tional S210 per gallon on all liquor
IN or out OF the warehouse.
