office, he stated that an article alp
pearing in the newspapers a few days
ago relative to tentative returns ant
estimates of individual income tax 10,
1918, and requests for extension O.
time for filing such returns, was mis-
construed by the public.
Tentative returns are to be accept
ed by the collector only when the tax
payer can show that he is ill, absen'
from the state, or that it was abso
utely impossible to file complete
return ON or before March Is, 1919

in all instances, under oath, for nj
inability.
Mr.. Craig further stated that form
1O40, intended for use of taxpayers
with a net income of over S. 600, had
been mailed to every taxpayer OF rec
ord and that he thought that in only
few instances could taxpayers claim
insufficient time in which to make out
such return
