FINAL PAYMENT OF
INCOME TAX SOON

In statement today Collector OF
Internal Revenue Harry T. Graham
reminded Federal income taxpayers
that December IS is the final date
on which payment OF 1920 tax should
be made. Collector Graham an
nounced that bills notifying the tax
payers OF their obligation falling due
on that date were mailed from the
revenue Office yesterday and should
be received today.
However" he added. failure to
receive these notices does not re-
leve the taxpayer Of his obligation
nor In any way extend the time for
the payment. Furthermore. the
Revenue Act OF 1918 makes no pro-
vision by which extension OF time
for payment can be granted. It will
be incumbent upon me to assert the
penalty and interest under the law,
except in certain exempted cases"
Many inquiries that have reached
the Office Of the Collector OF Inter
nal Revenue indicate that taxpayers
arc under the wrong impression that
an extension OF payment can be
granted. whereas the law makes no
mention OF II.
Payment Of the fourth installmen'
OF the tax may be made in cash. by
money order. or by check. Payment
by money order or check facilitates
handling by the department and
saves the taxpayer from waiting al
the cashiers window. Checks o,
money orders should be made pay.
