DECEMBER is is LAST DAY
FOR. PAYMENT OF FOURTH
lNsTALLMENT OF INCOME TAX

December 15 is the last day for the
payment of the fourth installment of
the income tax and excess profits
taxes due this year. To avoid pen
atty, the tax must be In the office of
the collectors of Internal revenue or
branch Offices by midnight Of that
date.
Inquiries reaching the commissioner
of internal revenue indicate belief
that taxpayers have ten days grace on
this installment. Such provision was
contained in the 1917 revenue act,
but was removed bv the revenue act
of 1918.
Payment of the fourth installment
may be made In cash or by money
order or check. The bureau of in
ternal revenue urges that whenever
possible payment be made by check
or money order. This method helps
the taxpayer by saving him a trip to
the collectors Office and avoids con-
gestion at the cashiers window
Check or money order should be made
payable to Collector of Internal Rev
enue
Bills will be sent to taxpayers, but
failure to receive bill does not re-
lieve the taxpayer Of his obligation
to pay on time.

DETROIT PUTTING MILLIONS
INTO STREET CAR SYSTEMS

Detroit, Dec. IA. Omitted Press.)-
Realization of the real benefits Of u
plan of city.owned street railways
preached for many years by both
economists and political aspirants-
is to be had in Detroit within short
time after the first of the year.
Mayor James Couzens, millionaire,
former partner of Henry Ford In the
Ford Motor Company was one of the
first of the many candidates for high
city offices to really put into working
the plan for municipality owned
street car system. The question was
put to vote and overwhelmingly
adopted, 1t is proposed to charge
five cents on the lines,
1t was agreed the movement would
entail an expenditure of fifteen mil
| lions of dollars and plans were made
for several bond issues to get the
needed money. The first bond issue
was made a few weeks ago and was
for S1,5O0,0OO. Others are expected
shortly.
Orders have been placed with
New England car building firm for
twenty-five cars and approximately
eleven miles of the line has been fin
ished. with excavation completed for
approximately twenty miles. Soon
after January /, 1921, officials Of the
municipal line say, cars will be run.
ming on two lines in opposite direc-
tions. The track is laid on steel
ties.
The line will be run east and west
ad north and south. making trans.
fer connections where they cross. It
is the plan to eventually have the
city completely covered by the mu-
nicipal lines. The Detroit United
Railways Company at present oper.
ates its cars in practically all parts
Of the city except those where the
municipal lines are to be be first
built, and 1t is not believed attempts
will be made for some time to build
lines in territory covered by the d.
U. r.
officials OF the line believe though.
the adoption of the single truck. one
man type OF cars will greatly facili.
tate the movement Of passengers, be
cause OF the quick-get-away of the
cars and the time saved in loading
and unloading. More cars will be
operated and they will run SO close
and often that no one will
have to stand on the corner and wait |
for car and no one will have to |
stand after he boards the car, the |
officials say.
Later double truck car will be
adopted. but the smaller type will
not be abandonded. The smaller
car will seat "a passengers. The |
twenty-five which have been order. !
ed will cost $4,000. an average Of
$500 apiece.
