March 2, 1867, without waiver of these
limitations by the tax payer. In ull

waiver Of their legal rights, under these
statutess across the face OF their returns,
the taxes will be assessed without
penalty. But in cases where delinquents
neglect or refuse to take this course, you
will at once report the facts TO the pro-

terms OF the aforementioned decision
OF the Supreme Court. In view of the
