NEW REVENUE RULINGS
Decision Affecting Gas Companies
Insurance and Brokers

Commissioner n. B. Scott of the internal
revenue department has made a recent
ruling that affects gas companies and re-
verses some Of the earlier decisions In
the classification of brokers. They are as
follows:
Certificates Of deposit to secure the
payment Of gas, as deposited with gas COM
panics, must bear two-cent stamp for
each 800 or fractional part thereof. This
IS general for all gas companies.
Tenants or owners OF houses and con-
sumers, who deposit from s. up to 800, at
the option Of the company, for the meter
placed in building, under this ruling, are
compelled to demand that a stamp be az
fixed to such a certificate. This is as obh-
gatory to have force or he In effect as the
requirement of q two-cent stamp on a
ba nix check.
policies of mutual Insurance companies
are subject to tax when the receipts Of the
company are invested and profits accrue.
mo rebate or refund for stamps used on
insurance policies for changes In terms or
cancelled upon return Of all or any part
Of the premium paid Will be made.
"A person who Is engaged in the bus
ness Of buying promlssory notes for him
self or clients, although this is only a
branch of the busnes in which he Is en-
gagged. IS required to pay a special tax as
broker"

POLICE AND THE CHARTER
Offending Officers to Be Allowed Public
Trials and Counsel

After the excitement incident to the
wndup Of the "secret arrests investiga-
ton had subs.ded, the police board yester-
day took UP the ma tier Of the police de-
ps rtment provisions of the new charter.
The members of the board had been fur
nished a number Of copies of the last
committed report submitted to the free
holders ON the subject nd, although some
what volum!nous 1t was read from begir-
ming to end. discussion Of its leading
features followed.
The board was unanimously Of the op.n-
ion that the duties imposed upon the po-
lice commission by the proposed provis-
Ions would necossltate almost continuous
session of the board. While it was granted
that most Ct the changes contemplated
were good ones, It was believed that it
would be unreasonable to ask a commits
sion to devote It's entire time to the de-
partment without pay. The report sought
to provide for a board Of five, as at pres
ent, and no salaries for the members
thereof was mentioned. 1t seemed to be
the sense of the commission that the num-
ber should be reduced to three and they to
be paid respectable compensation.
AS to the general department, the report
provided for a force Of one policeman to
each Thousand population and one police
alarm box to each two policemen. There
are at present ninety-three officers on the
force and fifty alarm boxes arc soon to be
purchased with the new alarm system re-
Gently provided for in the annual estimate
Figuring on basis of 10000 population
compliance with these charter provis. ems
would necessitate increasing the force to
10 and the number of alarm boxes to 55.
1t was further provided that any men,
ber Of the force against whom charges
were preferred should have the right to d
public hearing, at which he might intro
duce witnesses and be represented by
counsel. These same privileges were given
saloonists in cases where the revocation of
licenses were under consideration. 1t was
the opinion of the board that this manner
Of conducting hearings would require a
commissioner to devote much more Of his
time to his duties than he now does, al
though all of the members seemed to feel
that there was much justice in the pro-
visions.
After reading the report through and ex-
pressing opinions freely, the board de-
c.ded to meet with the freeholders and
make suggestions as to changes desired.
Judge Variel Of the freeholders came in
just as the board adjourned, and at his
suggestion a committee of the pettio ners
appeared before the charter makers last
night. A report of the meeting appears
