LARGE REFUND.
Considerable Sum Goes Back to
Texas Liquor Dealers.
According to figures compiled by
the Texas state comptroller’s office
for the forthcoming biennial report of
that department, the state, through the
county t*x collectors, has had to re-
fund to liquor dealers $92,586.15 on
cancelled liquor licenses, in accord-
ance with the new liquor law.
Major Dan Egbprl, occupation tax
clerk in the department, compiled the
figures, and they embrace in detail the
amounts refunded or rebated to liquor
dealers in every county in tbc stale.
Under the new Robertson-Fitzliugli
liquor law all liquor licenses, no mat-
ter at what time issued or for wh»t
period, expired July 11, 1909. Many
of these licenses were issued just a
month or so before the law went into
effect, consequently the state had to
refund the amount to the liquor deal-
ers who held them. Instead of making
the rebute in cash the collectors were
authorized to give the liquor dealera
credit for the amount to lie refunded,
which was applied on the new license.
The amount indicated above is lor
the year ending April 30,1010.
To retail lieer dealers was refunded
$14,060.76; to wholesale liquor deal-
ers, $470.78. Following are amounts
which had to be credited or refunded
to liquor dealers in some of the lead-
ing counties: Galveston, $0,323.73;
Harris, $10,308.09; Dallas, $0,483.14;
Travis, $1,401.00; Tarrant, $5,348.79.
No other provision was made In the
new liquor law by which these refunds
or rebates could be made except as in-
dicated above, there being no appro-
priation made for that purpose.
