Uncle Sam Gets Nice Piece
of Change From Defunct
Distilling Company.

Taxes amounting to si4,o224o were

act became effective which raised the
tax 10 $40 a gallon tax stamps valued
a hundreds OF thousands of dollars

~ Collector Daniel Noreis 10 care for
the disposal of stocks held by the dis
filling company.
The wererooms of the old distillery
still contain about 1000 barrels or
whisky which will net Uncle sam over
a million and 8 quarter dollars II sold
before July /. No provision has bees
made as yet for disposal OF stocks re-
naming on hand after national prohibit
ton becomes effective. A recent COM
municstion from England stated that
the English market would be thrown
open TO the surplus American spirits
but the United States government viii
realize little in the way OF taxes on
such sales as the tax for foreign ship
ments is only ten cents Per barrel.
Regarding the tax on ice cream and
soda fountain products which went into
effect May 1, Mr.. Noreis SAYS that driv-
ers Of wagons which sell ice cream on
the streets seem to think they do not
have TO pay the tax This Is an error
as the law requires in all cases that the
vendor should collect the tax from the
customer.
