the commission can better arrive at
proper rates for the various utili
ties. All liquors, winea, cordials, bran
dies or other distilled . or reeitified
spirits held for sale or use in other
products on aJnuary 12 must be in
ventoried and recorded for the fed
eral floor tax to be paid with in 30
days from date of enactment by
Congress of the "Liquor Tax Act of
1934," Charles II. Robertson, N. C.
collector, announces. This will ap
ply primarily to druggists, the only
class that may have such supplies
legally in North Carolina, he said.
Such supplies must be recorded by
alcoholie content and, as Mr. Rob
ertson understands, it does not ap
ply to this state's legal 3.2 beer and
wine, but only those liquors having
14 per cent o more of alcoholic con
tent. The t; : is $2 a gallon of 100
proof liquor and an additional 10
per cent for each 10 proof higher.
