HURRY INCOME TAX,

Duty of Making Payments by
March Is Up to Individ.
uals, Collector Warns

A person xho waits for an income tax
man TO pull his doorbell or his coat
tails may find himself a delinquent sub
ject to severe penalties. is the warning
sounded today by Internal Revenue Bu-
reau officials. The duty of getting the
payments and the returns in by March
Is lies solely with each Individual and
corporation liable under the law.
THE Bureau has sent every man It
can spare directly to the people to aid
in an advisory capacity" said Commits
sioner Roper. But our men have no
time to canvass people at work or in
their homes. Every person liable to a
tax or return must take the initiative
in performing the duties required by the
revenue law II he needs information.
blank forms or advice, he should seek
an income tax officer.
'The big thing now in income tax is
to get the first payments in between
now and March Is That Is the due
date. under the new law. Frankly
speaking. the government needs the
money to meet its obligations falling
due on that date
The returns OF 1918 income are due
at the same time. Either a complete re-
turn showing the true tax. or ten
tative return of the estimated tax must
accompany each and every payment
made between now and March 10.
THE tentative return of estimated
tax is a relief measure adopted by the
bureau for taxpayers who cannot com
plete their full returns on time. A tax
payer who needs additional time for
making return cannot be relieved OF
the payment of the tax due, or the
estimated tax due. But, On making the
required payment between now and
March Is, the taxpayer can secure
further time up to forty-fve days il
which to file the complete return.
The bureau in this way meets The
convenience OF taxpayers who are
pressed for time. but it cannot reliev.
them of the requirement that their taxes
due on March 5 must be paid between
now and the due date.
1T is urged that every taxpayer VIII,
can do so make payment in full whei
filing his return. This method will
greatly aid the revenue Offices, and re
4 lieve the taxpayer of the necessity %
guarding against oversight on future In
stallment dates.

The fight between residents Of the

will be discussed from a new angle be-
fore Public Service Commissioner Glenn

o'clock.
The complainants, headed by Ferdi-

unreasonable. The president of the

The first point in the case, it was
said yesterday, which will be decided
by Commissioner Clement is whether

pendent Councilmen and in the two
weeks that have elapsed since its down.
fall efforts have been made TO line UP
solidly tho forty-nlne votes needed for
It's passage.
Complaint Of streets Killed Rise
1t wS9 defeated following an inde-
penden tttack on the ground that the
city st,eets are not clean and that a
new bureau head might prove more
satisfactory than giving an increase to
a man against whom SO many complaints
have been made.
Pertinent questions relative to where
the money is coming from to pay def
cheney bills and other expenditures are
anticipated by the organization whips.
The size of the city's nestegg Is being
kept a closely guarded secret. 1t being
adj tied that there is no free surplus
available for expenditure.
The nestegg is hidden away in items
that were more than amply provided Tor
when the annual appropriation bills were

gency expenditures.
