Revenue r. G. l.. Moncure, of the East
ern District of Virginia, showing the
largest collections for June and the
year 1914 In the history of the Office.
were probably the first to be made to
the authorities in Washington. The
instructions to rush the figures to
Washington by telegraph were com
piled with, after Collector Moncure had
arranged to get immediate results from
Norfolk and Petersburg. md they were
put on the wires almost simultaneous
~ with the closing of the office.
The figures announced from this Of
flee last night show that the last year
has been one Of the most prosperous
, in its history, and that during the
month of June all records for receipts
have been broken. The increase in
revenue from the sale Of cigars,
cigarettes, liquor, as well as that from
corporation and individual taxes. has
been general and almost as clearly
marked from one source as from an
other.
A peculiar feature of the days work
yesterday was the receipt OF several
checks from individuals for amounts
of cent. These checks were for In
come taxes, and In many cases were
In payment OF taxes which amounted
to less than the penny paid. but, az
that Is the least unit of monetary
value, it had to be paid. Uncle Sam
made the difference and also the two
cents postage which IT cost the tax
payer to send them to the Office of
the collector.

AMOUNTS TO S.O,112
Tho income tax for 1914 amounted

no comparison can he made.
Corporation taxes showed an In
crease in 1919 over the preceding year
of about $1,000. The total sum coll
lected was s305,SI6.17, as against $780,
600.70 for the year before. The coll
lections for the month OF June totaled
$2S1 .SS1.SS.
Probably the greatest increase in
revenue recorded was that from the
sale of spirits 1t was shown that tho
revenue from this source for the last
year amounted to s1,O6S.577.O9. as
against SS2O,a13.52 for 1913. During
June SS0.2S6.5S of the revenue was COL
beer amounted to SS0,245 during the
year.
We're it not for the actual figures,
which cannot be denied. 1t would be
hard TO believe the sums named as
having been paid In revenue during
facturc Of cigarettes in the Eastern
District. According to the figures an
nounccd lgst night. s3.3S6.31l.43 was
paid during the year rs revenue from
their manufacture. and of this amount
1924 .5j6.oS was paid within the last
month. These figures show an increase
Of nearly 81 100000 over those of 1913,
which were s3,2SS,6o4.70.
IMMENSE: REVENUE
FROM CIGAR MANUFACTURE
While the sums received from the
manufacture of cigars is much less
than that obtained from the manufac-
ture of cigarettes. the figures arc large
and the increase Is also very marked.
The United States government re-
ceivcd S06l.224.91 as revenue from the
manufacture of cigars in 1914 as
against SSSO.15S.S2 in 1918. During
June Of this year sGl.S57.99 was paid
i'm revenue from this source.
TO these figures are added those
! from tho manufacture OF other kinds
Of tobacco which amount forms one
Of The largest items recorded in the
Office Of Collector Moncure. Within the
last month S115.722.S0 was paid into
the Office Of tho collector, while the
total collections for the year amount
| cd TO Sl.2o2.S0S.97. Those for 1913 wer,
| s1.29o.62o97 showing an increase Of
slightly more than $4,000
! The total collections from the Office
Of Collector Moncure for June amount

| 6S.o2322 The work of compiling
these figures was rushed to rapid COM
pletion by the regular Office force aug
mentcd by several additional clerks.
and il was not until late last night
that the actual results OF the fiscal
year had been determined.
At the Office of the treasurer of the
local post office it wes announced that
only tho approximate figures could be
given out last night These were said
to furnish an excellent idea of the
amount of business done by that de-
partment during the month and year

as against SS2s,S1o49 for the year be-
