6 Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of

11 price of the property. In all cases where property functionally
12 used or consumed is a by-product or waste product that has been

19 buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion
20 to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the
21 relevant facts. The fair market value shall be established by
22 Illinois sales by the taxpayer of the same property as that
23 functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such sales by
