st5o, ,ooo, 900 COLLECTIONS IN
 STATE REVENUE DISTRICT

Although. the exact figures were not available at the Hartford office of the Connecticut district of the United States internal revenue department on Thursday, the total receipts at this. of- flee from all sources is expected to be endar year ending Dec. 3t, 191S.a This estimate. refecting, the largest collec- ton ever made in this district, is based on a study of Conmissioner Roper's report fof the governments fiscal year ending June 90, 1913, which has just been received in Hartford. and the rates on various sources of income. It was pointed out that taxpayers were contributing thro h the year 1919 payments on their 1918 returns. sss>.s
 The luxury tax was the important item that sweIled receipts for the year just closed. One of the largest sums was derived from the. tax on theatre tickets and other amdseinents, while the revenue from the tax on the sale Of soft drinks also brought. in a great deal of money to the government.
 Taxes paid on intoxicating bever- ages, on incomes; special taxes, mis- cellanebus and war excise, tobacco and stamp sales are included.
 A record in payment of taxes was broken despite the fact that. Rhade Island was taken out of the Connecti- cut district July i. 1919. The collec- tions from that date on were made solely in Connecticut. Connecticut always contributed at least 75 per cent. of the taxes for both. states. and in re- cent years had been making marked gains on the sister state.
 Commissioner Ro1er's report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, shows total collections in the Connecticut district of s101, ,5os,S77. The district ranked tenth in the United States in the amount of collections made. With the reduction of luxury taxes lowering of tax rates and loss of income from intoxicating. beverages and Rhode Isl and d separate district rColIecto year ending June 30. 1920, for the Connectieut district would probably be in the neighborf1ood of $s0,0oo,000
