PRICE OF BOOZE
GOES UP A DIME
The price of hooze has risen. The
thirsty person who has comnlied with
|l other requirements now has to
sart with an extra dime when re
ceiving his shipment from the rail
roads Or express company.
Ihree cents of this sum go to the
transportation company and the re
maining seven to the ordinary until
the laiter has received $6OO. The ex
cess of tiv's part of the new tax then
goes into the coffers of the state.
Gov. Harris Saturday night signed
the bill which passed the legislature
during the recent session adding the
slight expense to the procuring of al
coholic beverages. It became actually
operative Monday.
~ Attorneys of the railrecads wrote
the express company Sunday that the
new law was in force, but the word
was uot received until after ten pack
ages had been delivered Monday.
To avoid the cemplications of book
keeping which would have resulted
Judge McAlpin agreed yesterday to
stand ihe trifling 70 cents loss when
the records of Monday's deliveries
were filed at the Ordinary’s office.
As a result the accounts at the of
fice show the receipts of $5.18 from the
express company for 74 packages, in
stead of the actual cash returns on
64. The Atlantic Coast Line paid in
91 cents as the first day’s receipts. It
delivered 13 packages. ‘
