REGISTER TAYLOR
GIVES STAMP Law
TELLS HOW OFTEN MORE 10

NECESSARY.

Many people do not understand tbo
internal revenue act under which all
deeds must have stamps affixed with
the result that they often put arger
amount of stamps on the deed than 4,
necessary" said Register Samuel
Taylor, this morning Take daea
for example, where the value Of tbo
transfer or consideration is s2Ooo
Now the average vendor will MT a.
worth of stamps on that deed, regard.
less of whether or not it is a cash
transaction. If the consideration q,
$4,000 was all paid in cash, the deed
must have 81 worth of stamps. How.
ever, suppose only $1,000 was paid in
cash and the purchaser executed his
note for the remaining $1,000 Now
that deed would require only 81 in
stamps, but twenty cents would be-
required on the note for $1,000 In
other words that part of the transac
ton that is on a credit is not figured
in the computation of the amount Of
stamps to affix to the deed, for the
notes must be stamped and STAMPED
regardless of whether or not an e.
cess is paid on the deed"

and the minimum charge reduced, IN
all ordinance that was passed by the
board of mayor and aldermen on
