up new system Of collection of sales
taxes on alcoholic products was pro-
posed to Congress today by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The draft of a proposed amend
ment was taken today to the House
District Committee by Corporation
Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman and
Andrew M. Howsley. special counsel
to the A. B. c. board The amend
ment has been approved in principle
by the Commissioners.
The present law requires that deal
ers here pay to the District before
the 18th of each month certain taxes
on the amounts of beverages they
have purchased for sale. This calls
for an audit of the accounts of the
various licensees. Under the new sys-
tenn, dealers would buy revenue
stamps from the District government
and place them on containers of bev-
erages purchased for sale. These
would be in addition to the Federal
revenue stamp.
ers in cases where that class of
dealers buy quantities of beverages
from out-of-town firms not having
District licenses would affix the
stamps.
Consider More Inspectors.
Meanwhile, the Commissioners took
under advisement a request from the
A. B. c. Board for provision of funds
for employment of % additional in
spectors. The board now is author
lied to employ 8 inspectors, Z of
whom have been appointed.
George w. Offutt, chairman of the
board, declared the present staff is
totally inadequate" to perform the
duties which the board is charged
with carrying out.
The Commissioners Originally had
in mind staff of 20 inspectors. The
Budget Bureau was asked to approve
the appointment of 10. That agency
ruled. however, that eight would be
sufficient.
Maj. Jerome Johnstone, chief liquor
inspector, also urged that the salary
of inspectors be increased so as to
remove the inspectors farther from
temptation" He said he had visited
numerous establishments recently and
in every place was offered something
OF value" He said he did not inter-
pret this as attempted bribery, but
rather as an indication of a desire
for friendly feeling between dealers
and inspectors.
