BERLIN, June 5 (#).—The watch- dogs of the Reich's treasury depart- ment are figuring income tax returns down to the last cent in their attempt to keep the budget balanced. An irate taxpayer, complaining about the “immense amount of leisure time treasury officials seem to have,” has written to a Berlin newspaper say- ing that after paying a tax of 3,500 marks last year he recently received a bill for 4 pfennigs (ibout 1 cent) for balance due. Added to this, the taxpayer sald, was a charge of 0 pfennigs to cover postage. To avoid collector's fees, the correspondent said he had to spend 10 pfennigs for a 1-cent money order and 5 pfennigs for a stamp to settle the bill. avans built for the wallor have been in George and Queen M: The cars were taken to Buc! kinghan!
