1DS,407.1O.
EXPECTS FURTHER INCREASE
New Revenue Laws, With Income
and Excess Profits Tax, Will More
Than Offset Loss Through State
Wide Prohibition.

Collections made during the fiscal
year which ended at midnight on Sat
urday by Collector OF Internal Reve-
nue. II. c. l.. Moncure aggregated So
19S.49f1o, showing a heavy increase
over the previous year. or the col
lections made during the fiscal year.
the sum OF s1.162.97o.39 was collected
in the month of June. or this amount
s731.222.64 represented ordinary col
lections s196.069.57 from corporations
and s2S5,67S.1S from individual in
comes.
Figures for the fiscal year ended at
midnight June 80 increased sl,1S3,-
$500 over the previous year, which is
believed will prove one Of the greatest
increases In comparison with cities
or the same population in TINS section
OF the country. Collector Moncure
said last night that he expected to
collect a total of sl2.2oo.Ooo in the new
fiscal year. which began its first busi-
ness day yesterday.
Mr.. Moncure based his estimate of
this years collections OF his report on
the department at Washington, after
taking into consideration the various
| factors that enter into taxation. While
| there will be n falling Off in the COL
| lections OF taxes on spirits and fer
mented liquors. owing to the operation
OF the State prohibition law. there will
be increases in the taxes imposed on
the incomes of individuals and cor
| porations. excess profits taxes and a
large number of additional special taxes
| which are to be provided for under the
| new revenue BILL which is expected to
| be passed by Congress shortly.
FEW DELINaUENTs
on INCOME TAXES
! Revenue officers reported yesterday
| that small number of parties liable
| to tax on Individual incomes as we'll
as corporations. have failed to pay the
amounts assessed against them. These
| assessments were payable on or before
June 20, 1917. in order to avoid the
penalty for such failure. The manner
in which all taxpayers have complied
with the departments request to make
payment of assessed taxes has been
extremely gratifying to Mr. Moncurc,
and he has been compelled to work his
| office force overtime in order to meet
the demands. and to compete his an
nual report to the department at Wash
! ington.
The heavy increase in the collections
during the year-more than $1,000
! 000-denotes the extensive business be-
| Ing transacted in Richmond, and es-
| pecially the activity of the tobacco
trades since considerable portion of
| the collections were from the sale OF
stamps for cigars. cigarettes and to-
| bacco. To measure up to the cxpecta-
| tions Of Collector Moncure, which he
has already estimated to the depart
ment at Washington. the collections
| will have to increase during the pres
cnt year more than 100000.
