De.spite the 12 per cent in crease in eonsiimption. North Car- j olina sfll lags in consumption as ' compared with other slates, ac cording to the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Com mittee. The per capita consump tion in this state is not quite three gallons, while the nation's* per capita coii.siimption is twelve , and a half gallons—more than four time.s the per capita con- ’ ] sumption in North Carolina. ' Although North Carolina is ' way down the list on the basis of I per capita consumption, the beer I industry pays the state and its ; various political subdivisions al most $1,500,000 annually in tax-' es and licen.se fees. If this state consumed as much as the aver-. age for the nation, more than .$6,000,000 would he paid into the state treasury annually. The past year also witnessed the rapid expansion of the beer industry’s program of active co operation with local law enforce ment officers to eliminate anti social conditions wherever they may surround the sale of beer. Edgar H. Bain of Goldsboro, state director in charge of the beer industry’s “clean up or close up” campaign in North Carolina, an nounced that the beer licenses of 46 dealers have been revoked as a result of the committee’s drive against unde-sirable beer outlets.
