WASHINGTON, July SO.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue has prepared
the annual preliminary report Of the OPP
erations Of his bureau for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1902. The report shows
that the receipts from all sources Of in
ternal revenue for the year aggregated
S271, S67, $50, which included s373, S7S tax on
money orders turned over by the postmas-
ter general 70 the collector for the dis
trict Of Maryland, and for which no ex-
pense for collection. was incurred, making
a decrease Of SIS, 008, 6T9 from the receipts
for the fiscal year which ended June 30,
1901. and which decrease resulted from
the provisions Of the act Of congress Of
date March 2. 1901, resembling in part and
reducing in part the war revenue taxes
imposed under the act Of congress Of June
10. 1882
Tho expenses Of the bureau for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1902, will approximate
s4.712,ss4. and the percentage Of cost Of
collection, predicated on these figures,
less tax on money orders, as above stated,
will be $1.H on each 500, an increase
Of 10 cents on each Sle0 In the percentage
Of cost Of collection, as compared with the
preceding fiscal year. when the percentage
of cost was 31,55 per 500. The increased
percentage Of cost OF conducting the bu-
reau is due largely to increased expenses
attending changes In the revenue laws and
the cost of handling rebate claims on to-
bacco. etc, and redemption of stamps pro-
Vided for by the act of March 2. 1901.
