Wyoming to BE Separate Revenue Dis.
trict After August 1.

Vast increase in the work of the
bureau Of Internal revenue has
brought reorganization of the entire tax
collection service. Each state, with
the exception of Nevada, will be made
n separate collection district and per-
manent service headquarters will be es-
tablished in every important city to
furnish blanks and information to tax
payers as to how they may fulfill their
obligations to the government.
Ten collection districts are abolished
effective August list. being consolidated
with other districts to permit the crea-
tion of ten new districts. in states
which heretofore have not had separ-
ate districts.
Creation of the new districts will
date from the appointment and confir-
nation of the collector in each.
Appointment of IA large number of
new employees is not contemplated as
the commissioner expects the more eff
fective utilization of the present field
force will obviate the necessity for TAX
ing on new men. The number of col
lection districts is limited to GA.
