tary Creates Condition that Cannot Be
Allowed to COntinue-TeM of Letter
Sent to Members.
The future of the Brattleboro Cham
ber of Commerce will be determined at a
meeting of the organization to be held
in its rooms in the town building Mon
day evening. Notices of the gathering
were sent to members today. The pres
ent board of directors has decided to
place upon the collective membership of
the association the responsibility of de-
Gliding whether the Chamber of Commerce
shall be continued as a live organization
or allowed to go out of existence.
Since last spring the Chamber of Com
merce has been without a president and
no steps have been taken to secure a sec
retary to take the place of Carl S. Hop
kins, who assumed the Office temporarily.
The board of directors realizes that this
state of affairs cannot be allowed to con
tinue and therefore has called the meet
ing for Monday night to get a represent
atiye expression as to what the future
policy of the organization shall be. The
text of the letter follows:
Dear Sir
There will be a very important meet
ing of the resident members of the Brat
tleboro Chamber of Commerce in their
rooms next Monday night, Nov. Is, at
o clock
1t is of utmost importance that YOU be
present. for at this meeting will be de-
cided the future policy OF the association,
whether it shall function properly and
live. or cease to function and die.
The directors wish to put it up to the
general membership, whether or not the
present rooms shall be maintained, on
given up and smaller quarters utilized.
The directors feel the time has come when
we must either advance or retreat.
If YOU feel we should have live organ
/ ization in keeping with our wide awake
town. come, and if you feel toe time has
/ arrived to disband, come. 1t must he de-
cided Monday night, and it Is your duty
as member to be present.
Yours very Tn iv.

entering the house rough-locking man
stepped out of the shadows, levelled a gun

and in the rain of bullets that followed,

FINAL INSTAiLMENT
 OF TAXES DUE TODAY

Washington September 14.--(Special.) )- Wednesday Is the last day. The third nstallment of the income and excess profits taxes for the year 1919 must be paid before midnight. otherwise penal- ties will be inflicted.
 Internal Revenue Collector Williams, an Alabamian, who is fast making a record in his new duties. authorizes pub lication of the following detailed facts:
 The greater number of taxpayers paid their 1919 taxes in full at the time of filing their returns, on or before March l5, 1920. The total number of individual income tax returns received was $500. 900. Of this number 100000 were for incomes of s5,0o0 and less Three million taxpayers in this class elected to pay in full, and 60O,o00 by the installment plan. There were received ,300,000 on-taxable re- turns
 The number of individual returns for incomes in excess of 5000 was FOO, ,000 Two hundred thousand of these taxpayers paid in full and 50o.000 by installments.
 Corporation Teturns numbered 34o.000. Sixtyfive thousand paid in full and 100,- 900 in part. The number of non-taxable corporation returns filed was 175,0O0.
 Payments for the third installment may be made in cash, or by money order or check. The Bureau of Internal Revenue urges that wherever possible payment be made by check or money order. This method helps the taxpayer by saving him I trip to the collectors office, and avoids congestion at the cashiers window. Check or money order should be made payable to Collector of Internal Reve- nue."
 Bills have been mailed to taxpayers. but failure to receive a bill does not relieve the taxpayer of his obligation to pay on time.
