All efforts shall be directly brought before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship, and when they relate to the exemption of provincial or municipal charges, they shall, through the appropriate channel, submit to the authority called to decide, debiting the tax to the national government, in the event of its refusal.

ARTICLE 6° - Applications for waiver pending at the time of this Law shall be settled in accordance with their precepts; but the application of such applications shall not result in the return of the already paid charges.

ARTICLE 7- The expenses that demand the fulfillment of this law shall be taken from general rents with charge to it, until a special item is set in the general budget of the Nation.
