| Section
1 of Act 1465 states: "On and after the date of this Act become effective,
the affixing of stamps to certificates of registration of cattle and to
certificates of transfer, as prescribed in Sections 10 and 21 of Act No.
1147, will be discontinued. Such certificates shall thereafter be in such
form as the Executive Secretary shall prescribe and the Insular Auditor
shall approve. The certificates shall be serially numbered and each shall
have conspicuously imprinted upon its face a form of stamp in lieu of that
now required to be affixed. The printing shall be done by the Director
of Printing under such supervisions as the Governor-General shall require,
and the certificates shall remain in the custody of the Director of Printing,
except as furnished by him to provincial treasurers upon duly approved
requisition. All certificates shall be accounted for to the Auditor by
provincial treasurers at their face value. The Director of Printing shall
render a report to the Auditor monthly, showing the numbers of the certificates
on hand at the beginning of the month, the numbers received and issued
during the month, and the numbers on hand at the end of the month."
Two
forms of certificates were issued under Act 1465, above quoted. (a) Certificate
of Ownership of Large Cattle (Figure Z2); (b) Certificate of Transfer of
Large Cattle (Figure Z3). The Certificate of Ownership bear a blue stamp
and the Certificate of Transfer bears a red stamp. The denomination of
the stamp is one peso in both cases and the design is exactly the same
as the design of the adhesive stamp issued in 1904. No change has been
made since 1906, in the design of this stamped paper. But there have been
many printings since 1906, and as a result there are many shades of each
of the two stamps. See Figure Z.
