John Ivan director of Alcoholic Beverage Control announced the agency collected 4.32 million dollars in 1967, up 255 thousand from 1966. He noted this may reflect less untaxed liquor rather than higher per capita consumption, as alcohol is taxed 1.50 a gallon. The liquor enforcement tax by the Revenue Department added 2.26 million, up 82,555 from 1966, with ABC and Revenue totaling 6.59 million in 1967.
