314. Department’s 316 August 23, 7 p.m. Cabrera informed me definitely this morning that there would be no extension time payment without penalty mining taxes for last tercio, this decision which he considered final being for reasons communicated to me yesterday and incorporated in my 208. Have no reason to believe there will be alteration this program at present.

Two months grace with penalty twenty-five per cent September and perhaps fifty per cent October will be granted according to present plan.
