COMPULSORY TAPPING p y N'
Fines Will Be Imposed Next Month
Against Persons Failing to
Make Connections.

But nine more days remals To-
residents who have failed to MAKE
sewer connections to comply with ths
regulations in this respect, as AleH'
andria's compulsory sewer tap Ia"
which technically has been IN enee'
for several years, but which has MOI
been enforced until the past year oi
so, makes it obligatory for all pro-
perty owners whose residences VI
nlaces Of business are situated on
street or an alley where there is a
sewer to connect with the same oe-
fore August l, 1916, which was the
extended time limit allowed ny Guy
council The bill, as passed original
w. stated that connections should be
made before July l, 1915, but the
time was extended to the former date.
Compulsion may be necessary IN
casas where the law is not complied
with but the authorities anticipate
very little trouble in this report, ow-
mo to the fact that most of the citi-
zens of the city have already had
sewer connections and that the ma
iority of those who had not have
made same when the compulsory
sewer tap law was passed. Delin-
ouents, however, are subject to fine.

tangible property - notes, bonds
stocks, capital and money - return
ed for taxation voluntarily this yeal
by persons who have found that they
really have such property and have
failed in the past to make return for
taxation.
Under direction OF the state board
of taxation, CHRISTOPHER b. Garnett'
the executive assistant, asked all eA-
aminers of record to report not later
than July 20 the amounts which have
been voluntarily reported to them oy
taxpayers in their respective districts
At the same time blanks for max
ing such returns were sent to persons
in all parts of the state, those Tor
this city being mailed early this week.
Yesterday Mr.. Garnett began to
get in these returns, among the con-
spicuous papers received being that
from S. R. Buxton, of Newport
News, the examiner for the eleventh
circuit. Mr.. Buxton has had very
good luck, the peope of that city re-
porting up to July 20 just S6,96l,o77
that had not heretofore been report
! ed That is by far the largest sum
,Ro far returnedx
Under the laws the owners OF all
such omitted property can make a
voluntary return up to August OF
this year, paying the tax and saving
the penalties provided by law At
ter that time they will be forced to
paw the tax and all the penalties,
the examiners of record being free
to 90 right after the delinquents and
to force them into court, entailing
this additional expense.
Twenty-one Of the thirty-one ex'
aminers in the state have already
made reports to Mr.. Garnett, six Of
this number declaring that not
solitary taxpayer in their ciruits had
called on them up to the time Of
making the report to Mr.. Garnett,
and consequently they could not say
that the people had anything to re-
port as omitted. " However, these
same examiners will be directed to
make further investigation and to
diligently inquire whether all reports
made by taxpayers are correct.
'All persons in the state have till
August THAT is, prior to that: time
for this year only-to make such cor
rections as may be by them declar-
ed fair and correct. That is the law,
and after that time they will have
to take the consequences of their
own acts. :;
Following are the districts in
which the examiners say they have
had no voluntary" reports so far:
Sixteenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth,
Twenty-frst, Twenty,seYepth and
Thirty-frst.
by the end Of this month all re-
ports of all examiners will be re.
ceived, and even those who reported
nothing as ";voluntarilS returned
are expected to have something tt
make known. Also those who have
failed to make any report whatso
ever will have sent in their reports
having till the end of the month t.
make their final reports, and thos
who have sent in reports of omitte,
taxes are expected to; send in: list
augmenting the returns already il
hand. Until this is done, however
it will be impossible to say just no,
much unreported taxes will be On tn
books as new property.

mine and captured the crater The
enemy vainly homharded the scene
of the explosion with mines and
trcneh mortars, throwing grenades
which made in their flight noise
like that of a revolving propeller.
Near Mikhaltche the enemy threw
into crater we were occupying
