TO COVER AN ENTIRE SALE.
Change May BE Made in the Issuing
of Naval Stores Certificates.

Under the law going into effect to-day,
a Decent stamp, it is held, must be placed
on every certificate of inspection for naval
stores. This, it is expected, will lead to
some change in the methods now in use
In the trade.
At present a certificate is given by the
inspector on every lot of resins or spirits
turpentine received. The bots, it is said
win probably not average more than twen-
ty-hve packages. AS Savannah handles
in round figures about 100000 packages Of
naval stores in a year, this would mean
about G0,000 certificates of inspection. A
10-cent stamp on each would mean total
outlay OF about 5000 It is believed this
outlay can be properly and legitimately
avoided H. is proposed that hereafter, in
stead Of Issuing a certificate for each lot
a memorandum be kept OF the inspec tor' ?
work and when sale is made that an
omnibus official certificate be issued COW
cring the entire quantity sold. In this
way the expense for stamps would be
vastly reduced. II is also suggested that
the sending Of duplicate certificates 70 tine
producers be done away with, as such du-
picates would also be subject to the tax
Memoranda could be sent the operators
without the inspectors signing them and
the official character Of the paper would
be thus removed.
The expense for the stamps, # is under
stood, may fall on the inspectors. Some
think the expense should be borne by the
buyers but the buyers will doubtless view
the matter from an entirely different
standpoint and ask the factors to carry
the burden
Naval stores certificates are held liable
10 the tax because the inspector is I'M
der a state law authorizing the city to ap-
point inspectors and defining their duties.
