ture may be given out over tele- phone wire. The matter of tax ads justments to meet individual eases. as well as exemptions in certain cases, which are allowed by the law, must be gone over in person with the coI-s Iector of internal revenue or one of his authorized deputies.

This entails a loss of time, and sometimes money, as in case where taxpayer mails his tax on the last day of the month in which it is payable The stamps are returned te him and, the time limit having ex- pired before he can send cash, money order or certified check. he becomes liable for the additional per cent penalty. Whatever checks are ten dered in payment of the income tax they should be certified, as all otherl will be returned for certifcation When taxes are paid in person or D. messenger they will be received a Room No. 202. second floor of tn federal building. between the hours o 2. m. and. 3 ?. m.
