TAX
Continued from Page 1
Although tin* increase in 5
cents per drink, the tax will lie bv
the barrel. For a 3 J gallon barrel,
the tax would equal about $16 53
Currently, beer distributors pav
about $2 60 per barrel in taxes,
said Gary Gibson, general man
ager for General Distributing Int
in Portland
The new tax would be unfair,
he said. Tlii:* distributors bad their
federal taxes doubled in 1991,
which caused the industry to lose
30,000 jobs. Gibson said.
Wavin' we could get through
this, hut small businesses won't."
Gibson said.
But Shibley said anyone engag
ing in the manufacturing of
"these drugs" should have to pay
the tax. Shibley said.
Some students do not think the
new tax would be a goswt idea
Kevin Williams a junior koci
ology major said he would not
support the tax If a person is a
responsible drinker they should
not be responsible for funding a
drinker, he said Matthew Hoff
man. a junior theater major
agreed
Mi gut reaction is that I
would be paying for someone
else'* problem,‘ said Hoffman
"Although if I am drinking 1 am
part of the problem **
Relax i a Faketty. a junior Eng
lish major, di«>* not support a tax
increase, but because the man
ey would go to fund rehabilita
tion programs, she said she could
at least understand the need for
the money,
Shiblev also proposed an
increase in privilege tax for high
alcohol mailed beverage*
“If you are going lo sell forti
fied malted beverages then you
are going to [xn an im lease." Shi
blev said ‘ It's really a users fee '
Hoffman said there is a danger
with adding a las to items such
as beer
"You could find a social evil
for anything you buy,'' Hoffman
said
But one of the purposes of the
tax is to make the alcohol harder
to obtain Most stn*et alcoholics
are addicted not through any olh
er kind of alcohol but fortified
wine, which contains more than
H percent alcohol In volume,
Shipley said
No hearing date has been set
for HH 2056 Shibley said she
hopes to have the bill heard
before the end of the session.

preserving Amazon."
In the past, the Save Amazon Coalition has con
tinually expressed an interest in saving the hous
ing complex by moving it to another site where
low-income rates would continue The citv of
Eugene and St Vincent DePaul are making plans
to move 'to of the units
Mike Eyster. dins tor of University Housing. said
he believes the appeal made by the coalition will
now hinder those plans
"The delay made Monday lowers the time to begin
moving the property by about a month and reduces
the window of opportunity for moving and pre
serving the site,” Eyster said. “If we had the i*ennit,
they would have free access to the site But we can
not physically move the buildings until we have
the permit."
He '<ud opening bids for demolition contracts
will 'tart at the beginning of March, with contracts
being a worded the following week Me expea ts the
council will schedule their puhlu hearing the same
week the opening bids begin on the demolition con
trai is
"We miv he at a standstill in prole* ting the build
ings hui not in our plans for demolition," he said
' Our interest is in getting this process started The
people who are making these delays are working
against the interests of students in keeping rents
low “
Me said University housing offii oils are still pro
ceeding with their plans to begin demolition after
April H - when the city < an no longer delav the
permit
