The attorney general told his coll
leagues and the president that large
sums ~ much needed government
funds were being eaten up in storage

would result from pouring the seized
spirits into the sewers, and II was sug-
Ees,ed that a way might be found to
extract the alcohol for commercial
purposes or to turn the liquor itself tC
some legitimate use. The law says Il
is TO be, confiscated but does not say
how to dispose OF It.
