COLLECTORS ARE ASSIGNED TO
 THEIR CITIES

Collector of Internal Revenue, the Income Tax season is on with it's usual gigantic amount of work,
 There are thousands of people whu
 will file a return this year who have
 never been obliged to do so before,
 and consequently there will be need
 of even more assistance rendered by
 the deputies of the Internal Revenue
 Service than has been given in pre- vious years.
 In view of this fact, Collector of Internal Revenue, James J. Walsh, has planned a schedule by which all of the cities and towns of Connecti-
 cut will be given the maximum amount of service.
 Beginning Feb. IS, deputies will be stationed in the larger cities where they will remain until March 15
 which is the last day for the filing ! of income tax returns. In the sfa.ll- CT cities and towns the scale of the i time will be graduated according to 1 the special needs of each place. l During the time deputy is To- ! cated in a town, his headquarters l will be open from o'clock in the 1 morning until ' in the evening. He I is at the service of the taxpayer dur |
 glad to help him with his problems, | doubts and questions This systef i which was inaugurated last year, is
 in use primarily for the every day l working man, with an income under 1 $5,000, and for the person who is
 filing a return for the first time this
 year. The service fs of course, ren
 dered without charge, and in return
 just one thing is asked. Let every
 taxpayer who comes for assistance
 remember that there are hundreds of
 other fellows just like himself who
 are seeking information. With this ] fact in mind, everyone should come { with the figures, memos and other | data regarding his income for ths l year 1919 all ready for the deputy 1 With the complete facts regarding z ) mans income in writing before him ) ] one deputy can help just about twice 5 as many people per day as he other 3 wise could, and no one need be kep 2 waiting an undue length of time 4 The income tax man is going to hell 0 you, so you bring your figures am
 | help him.
 1 Collector Walsh stated that ever 4 person should bring the return wit 2 him which was mailed to him, an 4 if possible should prepare same. Thi 2 will enable the deputy to cerify it 2 correctness quickly.
 l MT. Walsh stated as a final sug 8 gestion, that in every case where 1 is practicable, taxpayers are urged l pay all of their tax at once. This
 not obligatory. but it will save bot 8 taxvayers and employees of the Inter s nal Revenue office a great deal c 2 unnecessary work and worry. I i many cases where the tax is small, 5 is just as easy for the taxpayer t l pay at once in full, as to make guar l terly payments. In case this metho
 is not followed, at least one-quarte 3 of the tax due must accompany tn 1 return when filed. Payments mus
 be made by check or money orde 3 made payable to the Collector of th 1 Internal Revenue. The deputie can not accept cash payments.
