RULING
Is Issued by Internal Revenue
Department on Proper Me-
thod of Affixing.

The proper method of affixing doc
umentary stamps upon the transfer
of certificates of stock under the
emergency revenue act is not thor
ougly understood, judging by re-
quests for information received by
the treasury department at Washing
ton. So ruling in the matter has
been issued by Acting Commissioner
Of Revenue David A. Gates. This
ruling in part follows:
"In case of a sale Of certificates OF
stock where the evi 'ence of transfer
is shown only by the books of the
company, the requisite stamps should
be affixed to the books, where the
change Of ownership is evidenced by
the Endorsement of the certificate OF
stock from the seller to the purchas-
er, the requisite stamps should be af-
fixed upon the certificate Endorsed,
and not upon the new certificate Is
sued to the purchaser by the trans
fer agent in exchange for the old GER
tifcate issued to the purchaser by the
transfer agent in exchange for the
old certificate; and in case Of an
agreement to sell certificates Of stock
or where the transfer is by delivery
of the certificates Endorsed in blank,
there is required to be made and de-
livered by the seller to the buyer a
bill or memorandum of such sale, to
which the requisite stamps shall be
affixed"

The Change of Rate

The cash balance in the general
fund January /, 1916, was $73,S10.6S.
In recommending the change in the
water rates Mr.. Bowman suggests that
not only the minimum charge for do
mestic consumption be reduced to 81,
but that the rate per hundred cubic
feet be lowered to eight cents.
This" explained Mr.. Bowman,
will permit the consumer to use the
same amount of water for 81 which
he formerly received for IS. namely,
5000 cubic feet This reduction in
the rates from 10 cents to 8 cents per
100 cubic feet will be of great benefit
to all consumers using more than
5000 cubic feet per year.

Handsome Profit at That

"Deducting all this, however" con-
tinues Mr.. Bowman" from the total
revenues for 1916, there will be a
handsome profit in the Golfers of the
department"
Among the big improvements in the
department accomplished during the
year as referred to in the report were
the construction of the plaza in the
rear ofsthe pumping station at a cost
of s3,730.9S; lowering the big mains
under Paxton creek, for which s3,7O0

for river coal for pumping station and

which this coal has ever been bought. :"

Just $1,302.70 was saved in coal
bills by the installation of new type
of CRATES. The total amount of water
pumped was 2,695, 1929, 900 gallons, a

Should Benefit Taxpayers

These reductions" continues the
report will, of course, materially re-
duce the revenues of the water depart
ment, which believe to be justitiable
as there will be sufficient revenue left
to take care of all operating as well
as all extraordinary expenses and be-
sides leave a large cash balance at
the end of the year. In my judgement
1t Is not right to take from the tax
payers water rent greatly in excess of
the needs of the department just for
the purpose of boarding it up. 1t is
for these reasons / have made the
above recommendations"
That the water department will be
in shape to pay off the balance of its
Indebtedness before the end of the
year was referred to by Mr.. Bowman
as follows:
THE department will have approxi-
mately only $4,000 to pay from the
general revenues of the year 1916 to
wipe out its total Indebtedness, plus
interest, sinking fund and State tax
appropriations, operating expenses,
etc" All told this outlay will amount
to 1922, 1898, which must, come from
the years revenues.
