credits of trust funds amounted
to $145, 904 900 this year compared
with $2,826, 100000 last. The 1888.

a more intensive drive for tax COL

tions were $188,919, 900, a gain of
So million dollars over last year.
Income Tax Rises
For the nine months income tax

gain of about 203 million dollars
and miscellaneous internal reVe-
nue., $1,267 ,022, 900, an increase of
