from Commissioner Scott.

Among the recent decisions on the
stamp tax law sent out by Commits
sioner Scott yesterday were the follow
ing of local interest:
A tax on bonds required Of state Off

ly disclaims any intention to tax states,
counties, towns, cities or other munich
pal authorities.
Where the admission fee charged for
skating rink is merely to entitle the
persons paying it to the privilege of
skating, a special tax is not required; ;
but where it entities them to witness
the exhibition of skating, it is a pub
lie exhibition or show for money, for
which a special tax is required to be
PAID: Indoor base ball or crystal maze
exhibitions to which an entrance fee
tax.
A concert company giving an enter
talnment with regular charges of adj
mission, but not for any public object
or for church sociable, is required to
