Bowers, Collector of Intern al Revenue, announced today that $5.00 Auto Use Stamps were placed on sale in all Post Offices and the offices of the Collector in Columbia, Charleston, and Greenville, South Carolina, on June 10, 1944. These stamps must be purchased on or before July 1, 1944, and be affixed to the lower lefthand corner of the windshield and it is suggested that, When affixing the stamp, the automobile owner should dampen the windshield rather than the stamp, as by using this method the stamp will remain intact upon the windshield. As an additional pre caution, It is suggested that each vehicle owner make a record of the serial number which appears on the stamp for protection in the event the stamp should become lost. Only certified checks, money of- de'rs, or cash will be accepted in pay ment of the Use Tax Stamp and Post Offices will sell only the $5,00 denomination stamp. Motor vehicle owners liable for payment of the Use Tax Stamps for periods of less than the full year will be required to obtain such stamps from the Col lector of Internal Revenue. Mr Bowers stressed the fact that the stamps must be affixed to the vehicle and owners who fail to pur chase and display the new Use Tax Stamp on the vehicles using the highways after July 1, 1944, will subject the violators to a se vere penalty imposed by law.
