- By this method a monopoly of the supply of country spirit in any specified area or areas is granted under a contract, the contractor selling spirit to licensed vendors only at a fixed whole-sale rate which is known as the cost price. This wholesale rate is ordinarily determined by tender. The spirit is supplied from a distillery which may be situated either within or outside the Province. The spirit is conveyed to and stored in warehouses built either by Government or by the contractor on such terms as may be approved by them. Each warehouse is in charge of a Government Officer and arrangement for guarding it when necessary is made by Government. Manufacture and vend are kept entirely separate and the contractor is allowed ho interest in the latter.
