DENATURALIZED ALCOHOL. 



The acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Robert ^Villiams, 

 Jr., has issued an official statement in which he says that the regu- 

 lations authorized by the Act of June 7 are now being prepared, but 

 they will not be ready for general distribution until about Oct. i, 

 1906. We quote from the statement, as follows: 



"Persons who desire to manufacture distilled spirits for any pur- 

 pose must comply with all the provisions of the law relating to the 

 setting up of distilleries and the operation of same. 



"The distillery must be constructed in the manner now prescribed 

 by the law and the regulations. The usual distiller's bond must be 

 given ; the distillery must be surveyed by a duly authorized officer ; 

 a distillery warehouse must be established ; a storekeeper-ganger or 

 a storekeeper and ganger must be asigned to duty at the distillery ; 

 the product must be entered in distillery bonded warehouse, and, in 

 fact, all of the provisions of the law relating to the setting up and 

 the operation of registered distilleries, the manufacture of distilled 

 spirits at such distilleries,' and the depositing of such spirits in 

 distillery bonded warehouse must be complied with. 



"The new law simply provides that alcohol, of such proof as may 

 be determined, may be withdrawn free of tax provided it is dena- 

 tured after it is so withdrawn in such manner that it can not be used 

 as a beverage or in the manufacture of liquid medical preparations. 



"The conditions under which such alcohol may be withdrawn, 

 denatured, and put upon the market are to be prescribed by regu- 

 lations by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, with the approval 

 of the Secretary of the Treasury.
