AGENCY: Tooele County (Utah). County Clerk

SERIES: 3338
TITLE: Cigarette bonds
DATES: 1923-1930.
ARRANGEMENT: None

DESCRIPTION: These are bonds for persons licensed to sell cigarettes or cigarette papers. In 1923, the "Licensing and Sale of Cigarettes Act" repealed cigarette prohibition and replaced it with strict licensing provisions. "No permit shall be issued until the applicant therefor [sic] shall have filed with the city recorder, or clerk of the body issuing said permit, a bond approved by the board of county commissioners ._._._, which said bond shall be to the city, town, or county issuing such permit, for the benefit of all parties interested, and shall be in the amount of $500 and conditioned upon the faithful observances of all the provisions of this Act" (Laws of Utah 52-1 (1923)). In 1930, the law was amended having these bonds filed with the State Tax Commission and not the city recorder or county clerk. These files include copies of the cigarette permit (contains the name of the company or individual, address, place of business, date signed, and the date of expiration of the permit) and the bond.
