C. n,784,821 IE BEER TAXES for Counties, Cities and Towns Every county in North Carolina, except two, and naarly all of the state’s cities and towns have received cheeky in this first allocation of beer excise tRXi;.: to local gov ernment units. Yancey and Mitchell counties (blacked out on map) were excluded because the Revenue Act provides for distribution of malt beverage revenues only to "oouatiei and moniclpalities wherein sueh beverages may be licensed to be sold..,’*. The 1947 General Assembly doubled the taxes on malt beverages and directed that half of the proceeds be distributed to counties, cities and towns yvbere the sale 1 of these mak beverages is permitted. The new tax, amounting to two and one- half cents on each twelve-ounce bottle, went into effect July 1, and the first dis tribution of this money to local government units was made in November on the basis of July, August and September collections. Future payments are to be made annually. This fost allocation to local government units amounted to $1,784,821.12. To the participating communities this first payment was a substantial windfall. This was in addition to state, county and city license taxes paid by dealers. 'Here is a new source of revenue for local i^overnment units. The money may be used for law-enforcement purposes, debt-reduc- j:ion, or for any legitimate expenditure, (hereby easing the burden of other taxes. Thus BEER, America’s Beverage of Mod- iration, is helping to meet the costs of local government, at the same time paying millions of dollars into state and federal treasuries.
