ers from State Comptroller Louis
l.. Goldstein this week covering the
first quarterly distribution of
liquor revenue for the fiscal year
which started July l. This is the

permitted legal sale of Whiskey
in four of the sixteen election dis
tricts in Garrett county Two liquor
stores we're opened as q result,
one at Grantsville and at Oakland
The amount represented the
county's share of excise tax at the
rate of 80 cents for each gallon OF
liquor delivered to the retail
dealers. The breakdown showed
that it was for 1851 gallons.
The check has nothing to do
with the amount realized from the
operation of the two stores. but
The Commissioners have not YET
released any figures in this re
spect, nor have they released any
figures as to the expenses in
volved in operating the system.
There we're unofficial reports
that the county received less than
$4,000 net for the quarters bust
ness with expenses amounting 10
$1,000 or $4,000 dollars, but these
reports we're not confirmed Carl

sioncrs, was not available for com
ment yesterday
The amount distributed in the
state amounted to $5l9,984 Seven
of the counties showed decreases
over the previous quarter with 10
counties and Baltimore city show
ing increases
Probably no report of sales and
profit or loss Will be made until
after six months A report is re-
uuired in January.
