very prompt in making tax returns While
he was on his rounds, and he hopes that
on February 20th--the last day for MAX
ing returns without the penalty-there
will be no delinquents. as he hates to put
the extra tax on anybody. But the law
requires him to do it, and if you don't
want to have the penalty added, make
your returns before February Goth.

advocate of good roads-and try and get
some sensible legislation to remedy what |
is one of the States most crying evils.
They had q conference with Commits
sioner Byrd on the subject and he agreed
