The 1947 legislature doubled the crown and stamp taxes on beer and unfortified wines and directed that half of the collec tions be distributed to counties, cities and towns which permit the sale of these beverages. The new tax rate went into effect July 1 and this first distribution of revenues is from collections for July, August and September. Future payments to local gov ernment units sharing in the tax will be made annually. Two counties, Mitchell and Yancey, and a few small towns where the sale of beer is pro hibited by law did not share in the distribution. The total amount distributed to counties, cities and towns of the state from first quarter col lections was $1,774,784.32, of which $30,551.15 came from wine. The state’s share was somewhat less, due to the fact that the state had previously collected taxes on large inventories of beer and wine dealers had on hand July 1. The attorney gene ral ruled that supplemental tax es paid on July 1 floor stocks should go to local government | units. ■ The allocations were made on the basis of population as shown by the 1940 census. The i largest amount allocated to an “f individual community went to Charlotte, which received $52,0 44.64. Robeson led the counties with a payment of $29,967.44 In announcing the payments, Revenue Commissioner Edwi n Gill warned local government un its not to use them as the basis of estimating future annual al locations, pointing out that first quarter collections of beer and wine taxes at the new in creased rates ran abnormally. .. high.
