Executive Order 1532

By virtue of the authority vested in me, the Executive Order of May 13, 1911, providing for the collection of a distillation tax in the Canal Zone, is amended as follows:

. The output of each still may be measured by any method approved by the Chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission, if in his opinion measurement by meter, as provided in Section 3 of said Executive Order, is not satisfactory.

. On and after January 1, 1913, the right to operate any still within the Canal Zone shall cease and determine, and any person who shall, on or after that date, manufacture or distill any of the spirits or alcoholic liquors enumerated in the Executive Order of May 13, 1911, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or by imprisonment in the District Jail for a term not exceeding twelve (12) months, or by both such fine and imprisonment, within the discretion of the court.

. This order shall take effect from and after this date. . ,
