Subdivision 3-Pharmacists' license, on physicians' prescriptions only. Subdivision 6-Alcohol only, for mechanical, medicinal or scientific purposes. Subdivision 6a-For a fruit-grower or manufacturer of liquors from native fruit, to be sold only in quantities, not to be drunk on the premises.

NOTES. In addition to the new and increased liquor tax rates given above, the following new provisions of the liquor tax law are important and interesting:

1.-A holder of a license under sub-division 1, for trafficking in liquors to be drunk upon the premises where sold, may, upon the payment of a tax of ten dollars for each day, be granted a license for the sale of liquor to be drunk on the premises at another specified location, during a specified time. (To cover temporary, additional bars.)

2.-A holder of a license under sub-division 3 (pharmacists' license, on prescription only), may sell liquor in quantities not exceeding one pint, without a written prescription, upon taking out an additional license (under what is designated as sub-division 3-A), the tax for which is ten cents on each sale, paid by affixing a stamp to each bottle sold. No part of liquor so sold can be drunk on the premises. Only one pint can be sold to one person on the same day, and a record of all sales must be kept, subject to inspection.

3.-The tax for a license on each car, steamboat or vessel (sub-division 4), is increased from $200 to $300.

4.-The tax upon a license for selling from a vehicle by the holder of a license under subdivision 2 (covering the delivery of bottled beer), is increased from $100 to $150 for each vehicle.
