C. to 230 deg. C; or (b) creosote oil, i.e., such coal tar oil distillates as are specified above after Ihey have been deprived of their tar acid contents. 2 That an allowance at the rate ol rti. per gallon bo granted by the Commonwealth Government on "power alcoliol denatured in the above manner and manufactured in Australia from raw materials produced in Australia, by way ol reimbursement of tho extra cost caused by fiscal restrictions on the manufacture of alcohol. ' 3. That a bonus, also at the rate of 3d. per gallon, be granted by the Common-wealth-Government on such "power alcohol" in order to encourage its manufacture and to develop (he primary industries on which tho supply of tho necessary raw material depends.
