Let every survivor of the Twenty-ninth be present. THAT RENT KKKIIT STAMP Nitil That Former DeeiMion II a leen Over-HuleU. The question of whether rent receipts require a stamp still continues to be perplexing. The commissioner of internal revenue has rendered a decision in which he holds that in the case of receipts for rent and where there are no other recitals no stamp is required. Hut if the receipt contains any phrase or clause that can be construed as a contract for the hire, use or rent, then in such cases the receipt is held to become something more than a bare receipt and should be stamped according to its tenor or effect. The insertion of the words in a rent receipt "as leased for August, 188," is held to render it subject to the tax. TEACHERS CHOSEN. THE NAMES OF CITY SCHOOL IN STRUCTORS AND THEIR ASSIGNMENTS.
