§ Mr. ESSEXasked the Secretary to the Treasury the basis upon which the surveyor of taxes at Stroud or the Commissioners of Taxes at Cirencester estimated the duties payable in 1911 on income derived by the Rev. J. Priestley Foster, J.P., of Cirencester, from foreign possessions?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe additional Commisioners of Income Tax for the Division of Cirencester made the assessment in question under their statutory powers in the absence of a return by Mr. Foster. I may add that the local Commissioners subsequently consented to discharge the assessment on a return being made to the Special Commissioners.
