The mat- ter had not been called specifically to my attention until the receipt of your letter, and I will now investigate it. It goes without saying, however, that I would favor an amendment remov- ing any ambiguities from the present law and forcing all parties or corpo- | rations to pay the tax which the . framers of the law intended tney Nuptials of Miss Caroline| should pay.
