Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Documents of the General Assembly of Indiana at the Forty Third Session, Begun on the Tenth Day of January, 1863
The reports of school revenue, made by the County Auditors, for the year ending March, 1862, Show a falling Off in amount of revenue derived from licenses to sell spirituous liquors. Similar reports for the year ending March, 1861, Show there to have been derived from that source, for the year then ending, the sum of $69, 359 25. The reports for the year ending March, 1862, Show from that source $49, 766 53. The falling off for the previous year. Being 819, 592 72.
This falling OR IS thought to be more due to a disregard of the law on the subject, or to an evasion of it by those engaged in the business, than to any diminution in the sale of liquor, or in the number of places where the traffic is carried on. This fact has suggested the propriety of so amending the law under which the collection of this kind Of revenue is made, as to provide a sure and more summary mode of collecting it.
