tailed statement showing the amount re-

with any degree of accuracy. 1t would be
useless to attempt to Indicate the specific

the fact that beside the four specific pur-
poses for which the 1-cent documentary
stamp Is provided by law. stamps Of that
denomination may be used on documents
requiring higher tax. the question being
merely whether there is sufficient space on
the document for affixing stamps of the
