Following the extension of the war
tax period by congress some days ago,
the signal corps have received official
notification that the tax of one cent
on all telegrams will continue In force I
during 1916. As Uncle Sam needs the
money, all persons sending messages
will, therefore, be mulcted one cent
in addition to the regular telegram
tolls. It is the law and we will all
have to come through if we wish to
do business with the telegraph system.

ord, however, will not disclose this
low figure when published tomorrow
as only the average is given.
