Fred Sims, chairman of the commits

assessors in Lake county to assess the
whisky and gin to the holders of the
receipts and have the Lake County
treasurer notify the government ware
house officials that the assessments
were made and that local taxes must be
paid before the liquor is removed
Mr Sims said he was informed that
the price of the whisky was 80 cents a
gallon, to which would be added the
Federal tax of $40. The assessment
for the liquor probably will be $3.50 a
gallon.
Don't Want It Now.

doubtful whether the holders Of the re-
ceipts could ever be located, They said
they had the names Of the original own
ers which they would give the local
assessor. AS it was probable that IN
many cases the receipts had been sold
to persons who could not now use the
liquor such as former saloonkeepers in
the state in all likelihood they will not
take the liquor out of the warehouse.
