HARRY F. OWES
Republican Candidate for
CITY TREASURER

Served as City Treasurer
for the years 1916 and 1917.
During the above period,
by careful investment of the
money in his custody, he
earned $1S,194.62, in inter-
est. This was n direct bene-
fit to the taxpayers as the
above amount was used to
help defray the running ex-
penses of the City Govern
ment.
In addition to the above.
he was the first School
Treasurer to invest all the
funds of the School District,
and by so doing, he increased
the interest receipts S4,051.73
for two years.
He was the first City
Treasurer to send City Tax
notices to every property
owner. This was done at an
added expense to him, as it
entailed the employment of
additional help. During his
term, in addition TO devoting
his entire time and attention
TO the office, he employed
three clerks at his own eX-
pense.

EVERYBODY IS
NOW FIGURING
INCOME TAX
In Order to Be Helpful to Public,
Internal Revenue Bureau
Has Every Available
Officer in Field.
SEVERE PENALTIES IF YOU
DELAY BEYOND MARCH Is

With the due date for Income Taxes
only a few weeks away, the collection
of this ~far-reaching a on 1918 in
comes has started off with a bang.
Everybody is figuring income tax.
Payments and sworn statements of
income must reach Internal Revenue
offices on or before March ID, and there
are severe penalties for delinquency.
Residents of New Jersey will make
returns and pay their taxes to Samuel
Iredell, Collector Of Internal Revenue,
Camden, N. j., or to Charles V. Duffy,
Collector of Internal Revenue, New
ark, who are now doing free advisory
work ON Income Tax.
PAY your Income Tax by March
15," Is the slogan of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, which has sent every
available officer into the field to help
the public to understand the require
ments and to prepare the returns
Who Must Make Return.
1t Is estimated that many thousands
of single and married persons In this
section of the United States who have
never before made annual returns are
required to do so this year.
Income tax returns must be made
between now and March Is by persons
who come under the following classif-
cations:
Any unmarried person whose 1918
net income was $1,000 or over. Wild
ows and widowers, Divorces and mar
ried persons who are living apart from
their husbands or wives, are for the
purposes of the Income Tax classed as
unmarried.
Any married person living with wife
or husband whose 1918 net income was
$1,000 or over. The income of both
husband and wife must be considered,
together with the earnings of minor
children, If any.
Revenue Bureau Offers Aid.
Each person in the United States
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1919-03-01

who is in either of these c~lassifications
must get busy at once If penalties are
to be avoided. He should secure a
blank Form 1910 A for reporting net
income up to $1,000, or Form 1910 If
his net income exceeded that amount.
Forms are being distributed by Collec-
tors and their Deputies, also by banks.
By following the instructions on the
forms a correct return can be prepared
at home. If a person needs advice or
aid, the Deputy Collectors in the field
will furnish this without charge.
The new Revenue law places the In
come Tax duty on citizens and resi-
dents. The Internal Revenue Bureau
is sending its men to work right with
the public to get the tax and the re-
turns in. With active cooperation
every tax due March 10 will be paid
and every return required by law will
be in the Revenue offices OF time.
Exemptions Are Allowed.
A single person is allowed a personal
exemption of $1,000. If he Is support,

status of the head of a family who has
the same exemption as If married.
A married person who lives with
wife or husband is allowed a personal
exemption of $1,000. The head of a
family is entitled to claim a similar
personal exemption.
An additional exemption of 5000 is
allowed for each person under eight
cen or incapable of self support who
was dependent Upon and received his
chief support from the taxpayer.
A husband and wife living together
are entitled to but one personal ex.
emption of $1,000. If they make sep.
arate returns the exemption may be
claimed by either or divided.
Accuracy Required.
Absolute accuracy is necessary In
making up income figures. Any per-
son who is working for wages should
find out exactly how much he received
during the whole year 1918. Fees,
bank interest, bond interest, dividends,
rents received and all other items
must be reported correctly. Mere
guesses are not accepted, for they are
unjust alike to the taxpayer and the
Government and defeat the proper adj
m~inistration of the law.

Looks For Hubin's Continued Story.
P~leasantville, N. j., Feb. %, 1919.
Editors Pleasantville Press:-
| read again today my old friend
Hubin's continued story on Sewerage.
| am afraid Frank missed one or two
issues of The Pleasantville Press or
else | overlooked his story. | look for
his story every week as much as l
would any other story continued in
our next.
1t might help to increase the circu-
lation of The P~leasantville Press if
it is known that Hubin is running a
continued story on Sewerage, and if
the circulation becomes large enough
the whole world will know that Pleas
antville has no sewerage.
When Frank began his continued
story he predicted a terrible epidemic
to visit P%leasantville and death and
destruction was to follow in its wake.
He might also have predicted that an
earthquake was to visit Pleasantyille.
Neither has found Pueasantville yet,
and yet they may both come sometime.
but if they do come it will not be be-
cause of the filthy condition of Pleas
%antville.
Most of us have a sanitary sewerage
system that is open for inspection any
time. We are so situated that we
have plenty of land on and in which to
install a sanitary sewerage system and
are not compelled to put a cesspool
underneath our houses.
Atlantic City had no sewerage sys-
tenn until it's population reached more
than four times the population of Plea
santville. And Atlantic City, when it
installed sewerage was very much
more congested than P~leasantville is
today. Barring about two blocks in
the center of Pleasantville of about
two hundred houses, ~Pleasantyille does
not need a sewerage system from the
facts above stated that we have a sat
isfactory sanitary sewerage system.
A very great majority of us resi-
dents of Pleasantville are not willing
to be taxed to the great amount that
it would require to install and main
tain a public sewerage system for
~Pleasantville at this time.
Every member of the City Council
ought to know by this time that Frank
B.. Hubin wants sewerage.
