By JR. BRACKETT -—~* (Dy Associated Press) NEW YORK, March 22,— American brewers look to legal beer and an estimated 100-glass per capita yearly consumption as the basis of their reconstruction program. This is equivalent to the 25,- 000,000. to 30,000,000 barrels the brewing industry estimates it can produce and the $125,000,000. to $150,000,000 tax revenue it fig- ures would accrue to the govern- ment. Such a production compares with more than 60,000,000 barrels in the pre-war years, but the in- dustry has declared it would need several months to bring facilities up to capacity. They assert that, given a year-ef legal eperation, their capacity will reach about 40,000,000 barels. During this first year a study by the United States Brewers’ asso- ciation says, some $370,000,000 will be spent by the industry for everything from carpenter work, refrigeratoss and labels to bungs, hops and‘varnish, Here is: how brewers divide the amount: Reconstruction of exisiting plants, $175,000,000; cases, $12,- 000,000; bottles, $15,000,000; labels, crowns, ete., $5,000,000; cooperage, $50,000,000; trucks, $15,000,000; advertising, 000,000.
