SALES TAX INCOME

Raleigh, Aug. IA Exemption OF
basic foods from sales tax is unlikely
to cause any very sharp drop in total
sales tax receipts for the month OF
July, in the opinion of Department OF
Revenue officials.
If the "excise tax of three per cent
on building materials, new tax levied
by the 1887 Legislature, is considered
in connection with the usual sales tax
receipts, the total for July is likely to
go for higher than in the correspond
ing month of 1886, they believe.
Neither Commissioner A. J. Maxwell
nor Sales Tax Division Head F. B.

mate of collections made in July, be-
