 MEN FILE REPORTS
Collector of Taxes to Send Man Here
 For That Purpose.

The new war revenue act extends the income tax to include all mar ried persons having a net income of S2,o0O, or more, and all unmarried per- sons having a net income of $1 900 or more for the year 1917. They are required 70 report their income, on a form prescribed for that purpose, on or before March 1. 1915. Net" in- come is the amount left after sub- tracting expenses (but not family ex- penses, money used to pay off the principal of a mortgage, new ma cl,inery, buildings or improvements) from the gross income. If the re- mainder IS $2, 1000 or s1,000, then the person has to make return of income and pay tax. If he doesn't report he becomes liable to penalties ranging from $20 to 5000 fine or imprison- ment. It is the taxpayers duty under the law to go to the Government and not the governments business to ga to him, He is supposed to report his income for 1917 before March 1, 1918.
 To make it easy for taxpayers to report their incomes and assist them in making out their reports the col- lector will send a man into Norwich. He will be at Norwich continuously from January 2, to March 1, 1918, both dates inclusive. He will have his Of- flee in the post office and may be found theer every day. He will have an ann pie supply of income tax forms, thus making it unnecessary for taxpayers who shall call upon him to request my office for forms.
