WHEREAS it is enacted by Sections 2 and 3 of the Public Offices Fees Act, 1879, as adapted by the Adaptation of Enactments Act, 1922 , that the fees payable in any public office shall be collected either in money or by means of stamps, or partly in one way and partly in the other way, according as may be from time to time directed by Order of the Minister for Finance, and that he may regulate and determine the use of impressed or adhesive stamps:

And whereas it is enacted by Section 11 (1) of the Censorship of Films Act, 1923 , that fees shall be charged in respect of applications to the Official Censor of Films, and the granting or refusal by him of certificates, and in respect of other acts done by him in the execution of his duties under the Act:

And I do further order that the impressed stamps to be used may, until otherwise directed, be denoted by the General Duty Dies in the possession of the Revenue Commissioners impressed on the application or other document used and that the said Commissioners shall keep accounts of all moneys received by them in respect of fees under the Censorship of Films Act, 1923 , and any Orders made thereunder.
