Income REPORTS
GOVERNMENT TAKES NO ONES
WORD ON NEW WAR TAX
AND INSPECTORS
WILL PRl.

Sioux Falls, Jan. an order that
you may suffer no lapse of memory
in making your income tax report,
the government has provided elabo-
rate means for checking up on each
report.
According to a statement made by
II. +. Robinson, deputy revenue col
lector who is holding out in the post
office building during January, a
revenue inspector will follow him.
Robinson is here to show the public
how to fill out the reports, the
amount of exemptions and allow
ances to be made and general infor-
nation Of value about the law. But
his word is not final. The inspector
may raise or reduce the report, ac-
cording to his judgment, but in any
event it must be made before
March /.
For single men, $1,000 exemption
is allowed on the 1917 war income
tax, but every firm or corporation is
required to make a report of each
cHlplOyA WIN ItSelNtS over 9oUU per
year in wage or salary. Then it be-
comes the duty of the inspector to
learn whether the individual did not
make over $500 side money and thus
come within the scope of a report.
Lawyers, business men and farm
ers were present at the internal rev.
enue collectors office plying Mr..
Robinson with questions on the intri-
cate operation of the law as it ap-
plies to each. There is no apparent
lack of appreciation of the presence
of a deputy here among those who
enjoy a fair income, but it is the man
with the small income who is expect
ed to take heed less he be shared by
the law and obliged to pay a penalty
that might better go for Liberty
bonds.

FAVOR RESURFAClNG
OF JEFFERSON BLVD.

\ resolution for the resurfacing
side of the St. Joseph river bridge
10 Michigan St, a distance of 1.l50
feet. was passed by the board of
works at a special meeting held
last eveningdor the purpose of hear
ing remonstrances on the proposed
movement. The original resolution
included the resurfacing of the
bridge. but il was decided by the
board to let the bridge and street
paving contracts separately. the
bridge improvement 10 be taken up
at later date April was the
date set for advertising for bids.
The resolution specifies the use OF
shet asphalt brick, bitulithic or ere
OsOte block. The esetimated cost
of City Engineer Anderson is $751;
600.
The only opposition to the pass
ing Of the resolution was from Will
liam Booth, who contended that
the improvement was untimely and
should be postponed until general
conditions were more promising and
that he could not afford the expense
at this time. George Witwer and
George A Robertson were present
and spoke in favor of the improve
ment. stating that the improvement
would enhance the value of prop
erty along the street sufficiently TO
justify the expense 10 property own
ers. in addition TO increasing the
traffic on the street, therefore i'm
proving business conditions with ad-
jacent merchants.
