$11 Million ABC Profit

The yearly profits from ABC
operations are determined after
certain transfers are made to
the States general fund for
depreciation, cost of building
operations and allotments to
Offices such as the State audi
tor and the controller.
After these disbursements,
$750,000 is set aside for the
State. The balance then is split
between the State and the To-
calities, one-third to the State
and two-thirds to the localities.
This year the per capita dis
tribution amounts to $3.49. Last
year it was $3.47 and the year
before $3.04.
Some State fiscal officials
have expressed concern about
next year. The new 10 per cent
tax on liquor is expected to cut
sales-and profits-to some ex-
tent. But the legislation passed
by the recent General Assembly
taxing liquor also carried a
