STAMPS DEPARTMENT
COLLECTING THE DEATH DUTIES. Several legal members of the Houso of Representatives paid tributes yesterday to the work of the Stamps Department. They considered that this Department, which is concerned largely with the collection of death duties, was particularly efficient. The Hoii. T. M. Wilford said the Stamps Department was the second largest revenue-producing Department of the State. Ho believed that it would collect ,£2,000,000 during the present year. Tho officers-of the Department were all experts, and he had made representations already with the object of securing increased salaries. The amount of work none by the Stamps Department was enormous. Every year the officers recovered huge sums of money that, would linvo been lost if the officers had not been experts-in their work. They had recovered Jtifl.OflO'ou one estate. Tim Department wns a highly scientific one that had received less than its due share -of praise because people' did not understand its multifarious operations.
