Collector McNeeL Giues
 Example Of Computing
 Excess and War Profit Tax

John D. McNeel collector of internal revenue, has prepared the following example, illustrating the method of call owing to the fact that there appears to be a general misunderstanding as to the application of the rates of excess and war profit taxes imposed by the act of Congress passed last Thursday. Mir. McNeers statement follows:
 Contrary to the popular belief that the law imposes a flat rate of so per cent on corporate incomes, it will be seen that such is not the case. The 80 per cent rate is levied only on that amount of a corporations net income for the year 1918 which exceeded it's pre-war. earnings after deducting lib- eral exemptions.
 In the following example a corpora tion with invested capital of s100,000 pre-war profits of s15.O00 and net earn ings of s50,000 for the year 1918 would compute it's taxes thus:
 Invested capital s1o0,Oo0; average pre-war earnings, s15.o0o; earnings for 1918, s5O,o0o.
 Deductions-Eight per cent of s1O0,- 900, ss0o0; specific exemption, sS000; total, s11,000.
 TAXABLE EARNINGS
 Taxable earnings under first bracket: Amount of earnings equaling 20 per cent of capital (S100,0o0), 10000; less deduction and exemption shown above, $11000
 Amount subject to excess profits tax, s9e00 at 30 per cent, $2700.
 Taxable earnings under second bracket: Earnings. $5o,000; less earn ings included in first bracket, s2o000; $30,O00 at 65 per cent, S19.500
 EXCESS PROFITS
 Total excess profits tax under first and second brackets, S22,200.
 Taxable earnings under third brack = et Earnings. s50,000; deduct average pre-war earnings-shown above $15.- 900; specific exemption, $S0oo-$1S 900.
 Earnings subject to war profits tax, 32,O00
 Thirty-two thousand dollars at so per cent, S25,600; less excess profits tax first and second brackets, 2,200- $3400.
 Total excess profits and war profits $25,600;
 Corporation income tax: Earnings, $50,000; less excess and war profits taxes, $25,600; less specific Exemption $2000-s27. 500
 Amount subject to income tax, $22, 400 at 12 per cent, $26SS.
 Total income excess profits and profit taxes, $2S,75S percentage of net in- come. 56 .57 per cent.
 PROVISIONS OF ACT
 The new war revenue act under whscn the above case has been computed provides as follows:
 First bracket: Thirty per centum of the amount of the net income in ex- cess profits credit determined under Section 312) and not in excess of 20 per centum of the invested capital.
 Second bracket: Sixty-five per centum of the amount of the net income in excess of 20 per centum of the in vested capital.
 Third bracket: The sum, if any, by which per centum of the amount of the net income in excess of the war profits credit determined under Sec tion SID exceeds the amount of the tax computed under the first and sec- ond brackets.

SEASIDE PARK FOR
 VICTORY PAGEANT
Attendance of 5O,0OO As sured for Biggest Event of
 Its Kind in Bridgeport.

Bridgeport's mammoth victory eel ebration is to be staged in Seaside Park.
 This was definitely decided upon at a meeting of the executive commit tee held yesterday. With thous- ands of persons already possessing tickets and thousands more demand ing them mem bers of the committee decided that there is no other site large enough to accommodate all. Permission was obtained from the Park board to put the big celebra on on at Seaside.
 By this decision the committee re- lieved itself of many anxieties. There was some question as to whether or not a suitable site where lawn danc- ing could be one of the features be- cause of the difficulty in securing well rolled down turf could be had the selection of Seaside Park solves this question. Other sites looked over were not large enough to insure everyone a good place from which to view the fireworks.
 The lawn dancing will be one O. the chief features of the celebra ton Hundreds of young men and women are planning to take full advantage Of this.
 With the publication of the fire works program in full today became known for the first time that it will require at least two hours to run of the exhibition. It includes many ot the most interesting war scenes, real istic of those enacted on the western front.
 More than 50, 900 persons will take part in the celebration, according to es- inmates made yesterday. It is the be- lief that nearly 10000 will secure their tickets. It will be the bigges1 crowd Bridgeport has ever assem bleG for any event.

WOULD HAVE TAX PAYMENTS PUT
 OVER TO JUNE l

Democratic Alderman William R. Hogan sprang a little surprise at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen when he introduced a resolution ask ing that the payment of taxes, be deferred until June l. because of the setting ahead of the month of pay ment this year.
 Alderman Hogan said the pay ments coming a month earlier had created great hardship, especially on those who are out of employment because of the ending of the war. The measure would restore the old dates of payment and was referred to the Board of Apportionment.
 Mayor Wilson took exception to Alderman Hogan's reference to un- employment saying that the Demo- cratic members of the council had been appointed a committee on un- ena pIoyment some time ago and that they had made no report.
 Previous to th-s Alderman Hogan had asked for the etiquette of the council in handling resolutions re fererd to the committee, claiming that out of 14 he had turned in since last December he had only heard from two. Mayor Wilson said that it was better to wait until the com lnittee was able to give a full report rather than have them just make a report of progress.
