CHANGE In PRINTING OF REVENUE STAMPS.
WAsHTNoroN July 20-During the absence
of Commissioner Delano arrangements have
been made for change in the printing and is
suing of revenue stamps. 1t has been the study
of the officers of the revenue for a long time
to remedy the evil OF a lack of responsibility
in this branch of the business, and therefore
it is believed corrective will be to print and
issue stamps In the same manner as the cur
rency OF the country is printed and issued
namely, stamps with new designs printed in
Philadelphia and New York, to be forwarded
to the Department for an impression of q sao1
upon them prior to their being issued. and then
issued from the Department direct.
