With regard to economizing in the eX-
penses of the Department, | have tried to
do the best | could. But what have been
able to a small extent to accomplish
has been to increase the revenues to
the Government as far as the De-
partment was able to, by a careful scru-
tiny of the lists returned for the Horses
Carriage & Boat Tax, Dog Tax, and
Gun Licenses. In going over the lists
sent in for the Horse, Carriage, & Boat
tax, it was a revelation to me to dis
cover how many persons suffered from
loss of memory as to the number of We
hkcles, and horses they owned. In ev-
cry one of these instances, a receipt
was made out for the number we knew
they had, and not for the number sent
in, and in almost every instance the
amount was paid in without any protest
or demur. The result was that there
was collected for the year "1920-l921
Ito the 31st May Frcs: "a 837. 90 against
Flcs: Is. 800. SO for the fiscal year 1920
to June 80, an increase of Frcs: 9.O36. SO
with one month more of the present
fiscal year in which to collect some more.
With regard to the log tax, there was
collected an amount of Frcs: 10000 more
than for the previous year, and for
Gun licenses Frcs. 270. 90 more, making
a total increase over the amount collect
ed for previous year of Frcs: 10.0J6, so
