FpcctfUlly requested There are other
situations OF similar character in va
ripus parts cf the country. all OF

fore further steps can be taken by

Much delay and embarrassment are
caused by Indefinite and incomplete
legislation with reference 70 the
character Of buildings authorised BY
Congress. II frequently occurs that q
building Will be described merely ~
'postofhce' In localities where there
are other Federal departments requir-
ing office space. Under the present
statutes and decisions OF the Attor :
ney General, the Secretary Of the
Treasury has no authority TO provide
space IN any new building for
branches other than the postal serv-
Ice where the legislatiOn directs the
construction OF a postoffce only.
Asks For Authority.
This situation frequently leads 70
the erection of buildings which might
at the outset and within the limit OF
cost be constructed so Rs to proYtde
ample room for all Government Offices
IN that locality. but which because OF
the phraseology of the legislation are
dSIe and soon han. merely for pSst99ttiSss as
enlarged at considerable unnecessary

II strongly urge that the SECRETARY
OF the Treasury be given, authority In
such cases, and within the limit OF

committee had in view. including some
mention Of the effort. that Norwich

that it be strengthened where it was
and equipped with a more powerful
light. They also recommended another
light at Ceredus shoals. half way be-
tween Race Rock and Montaui1 Point
The making OF Mantle bay har-
Dor of refuge was also recommended

REVENUE BUSINESS INCREASE.
Growth in This District Calls for
Larger Staff.

The duties of the treasury depart
ment for the district of Connecticut, of
which Internal Revenue Agent Theo-
dore NJ. Byxbee of Meriden has charge,
have increased SO rapidly that the stan
has been increased to 10. This depart
ment, which has to see that all taxes
under the Jurisdiction of the treasury
department are properly recorded, had
a staff of seven accountants when
Agent Byxbee took charge. Such fine
results has Mr.. Byxbee obtained that
he has been allowed to more than
double the size of the department.
Regarding the recent income tax,
Agent Byxbee says:
THE government needs the income
tax, for there is small revenue coming
from the customs receipts now that
Europe is at war.
not be so very large, in my opinion,
this country that they can make almost
every article needed right here. Even
in chemicals, we are going to supply
our own market. look upon this war
as a great benefit to this country and
showing that we can be almost indie
pendent Of Europe for our goods. Take
cloth, for instance; we can make. just
as good cloth as that we import And
in this regard the terrible European
war has been a good thing for the
United States and an awakening to our
possibilities. So doubt If ever again
we will get the volume of customs re-
ceipts as formerly. and we must make
II up in other ways. Ard the income
tax is as just as any, and see nothing
unfair about it,
