 ON COUNTY HIGHWAYS

Work of installing safety posts on the various highways leading out of Birmingham, for the purpose of pre- venting automobile accidents along the highways, is now under way, C.. J. Rogers, county engineer announced Wednesday. This work was made possible by a recent appropriation by the county board of revenue.
 Engineer Rogers said that county workmen are installing the safety posts on the leading highways at the present time. The posts are sunk into the ground to a depth of where only three and a half feet remain above the surface of the ground, and arc placed 10 feet apart. They are being installed wherever there are dangerous curves along the roadside, or steep embankments border the highways.
 At an early date, work of install ing concrete posts at various points along the road will begin. These types of post will have strands of steel cable running through them and will prove more effective in pre- venting accidents than will be the wooden posts.

OF ESTATE
TAXES
Formal Claim Must BE
Made Within Four
Years

The following statement is issu-
ed by Robert w. McCuen, collector
of internal revenue, for the district
of Vermont:
The attention of the bureau Of
the internal revenue service having
been invited to erroneous state
ments made n certain newspapers
relative to estate tax matters, the
following bulletin is given for the
information of taxpayers, pertain
ing TO estate taxes:
Under date of May /, 1922, the
Supreme Court of the United
States decided the cases of Union
Trust company, ct al, executors, V
Wardell, collector and Shwab, Exc
cutor, V. Doyle collector, published
respectively as Treasury Decisions
1888 and 1899. In the former case
it was held that the Act of Septem-
Der 8, 1916, Title 2, prospective and
not retroactive in operation, and
Section POP (b) thereof is, there
fore, not applicable to a trust
created prior to the passage of the
Act, but intended to take effect in
POSSESSION or enjoyment at or af-
ter the death of the creator of the
trust, who died subsequently, to the
passage of said Act. A similar hold
ing was made in the ShWab case
under the same section fthe Act
with reference to transfers made
or trusts created in contemplation
of death prior to the passage of the
Revenue Act of 1916, though the
maker of the transfer or the Great
or of the trust died subsequently
thereto.
The existing regulations provide
for the refunding of estate taxes
only upon the filling OF d claim
therefor by the taxpayer. 1t will
therefore be Necessary for all tax
payers who are entitled to a refund
of estate taxes by reason of the
above entitled decisions to make
formal claim therefor on Form 843
which claim should befiled with the
collector for the district wherein
the tax was paid for transmittal to
this office for appropriate atcion.
Section 1928, Revised Statutes
as amended by Section 1916 of the
Revenue Act of 1921 provides that
all claims for the refunding or
crediting of any internal revenue
tax alleged to have been erroneous
ly or illegally assessed or collected
must be presented to the commits
sioner of internal revenue within
four years next after payment of
such tax. Consequently estate tax
es affected by the above decisions
can only be refunded provided Il
claim therefor is filed within four
years next after the payment Of
such taxes.

Pitching the Last Tumble il

To start to hay at right away
When July fourth is over,
And take a week to trim" the
road
And two to cut the CLOVER

Almost begin to grumble.
And wish the day would come to
pitch
The last, golrifus tumble.
The hurge grass takes another
week,
And, while your crop is thinner,
About three -fourths of half as
much
As that of ocgleg Skinner,
You notice nearly every day
Some loved ones temper
crumble;
Your second boy Jest aches to
pitch
The last, COMPOUNDED tumble.
Then comes the swale; you need
And hire old day-hand Hawkins,
And him and you sharp up your
scythes
And shed your shoes and stock

But when you hear the white-back-
ed bees
Begin to buzz and humble,
You wish yourself the hour Vs.
ripe
To load the last, old tumble.
More help outside means more in
doors,
More firewood, fuss and
victuals;
A sort of lockout strike sets in
Amongst the cooks and kittles;
A twelve pound ham jest fades
away,
Like Johnny's sugared tumble
Your wife hints up it's time the
cart
Come round for that last
tumble.
