the authorization and use OF an ex
port stamp Of a charact similar
to the stamps now in use, which stamp:
shall be of denomination sufficient tc
cover cue expense per barrel OF hand
ling, storing, gauging, &c. BY pro
hibiting, in addition to the Withdrawal

entered and stamped for export, it i
believed that fraud would be prevented
These suggestions are likely TO be pu
into shape for action.
