CITES INCOME
TAX CHANGES
Collector of Revenue Tells of
Claims and Refund
Procedure.

Prompt adjustment of claims for re-
fund and abatement of Federal income
taxes are provided for IN a number Of
important changes in income tax proceed
ure. which go into effect today, according
to NJ Bert Thurman, collector Of internal
revenue.
Heretofore when a taxpayer was over
assessed or made an over payment he
had 10 file a claim, which frequently was
not reached for consideration for a long
period OF time.
After today taxpayers will not be ad-
vised of their privilege Of fling a claim
for the refund Of taxes which have been
pa. IN excess of amounts legally due,
but instead will receive a certificate Of
over assessment and a check in correc-
ton Of the error, or If an assessment
IS outstanding against the taxpayer for
income OF excess profits tax, the over
payment will be applied as a credit
against the assessment, and the balance
Immediately refunded. This will be OF
distinct financial advantage to both the
taxpayer and the Government. 1t will
do away with the necessity for the tax
payer fling a claim for refund, and Will
greatly reduce the amount OF work to be
done by the bureau in adjustment Of
claims.
Taxpayers may continue to file claims
for abatement and refund, but It "a ex-
pected that the number Of such claims
filed each month will be greatly reduced.
Efforts are being made by the bureau to
adjust within six months, all claims now
pending and thereafter to keep the work
current. The revenue act of 1921 pro-
vides that under certain conditions in
terest shall be paid upon claims from
the date of the payment Of the tax to the
date of the allowance of the claim. The
new procedure should greatly reduce the
amount Of interest, which the Government
must Of necessity pay upon claims for
refund

DENIES WOMAN
STRUCK BY CAR
WAS NEGLECTED
City Hospital Head Says In
vestigatiOn Proves Charge
UnfOunded.

Following investigation of a statement
by Police Sergeant Louis johnson OF the
emergency squad that DR.. Joseph Sci
bert, an ambulance surgeon from the
city hospital, had refused TO take an
injured aged woman TO the institution
last night. DR.. Harry L. Foreman, super
intendent Of the hospital, today said he
was unable to find evidence that there
had been any serious delay in giving
the woman proper. medical attention.
The doctor and the ambulance driver
q told him this morning, he said. that neith-
er of them had any words with the police
the argument being entirely between DIT
Seibert and an outsider whose interfer-
ence he resented.
The injured woman. Mrs. Alice Sting
ley, 6s, rooming at I'll North Alaba ma
street. was struck either by a street car
or an automobile IN front of 719 North
Alabama street last night, and suffered
a cut on the head.
According to reports on file at police
Headquarters. the injured woman was
able to tell the police who she was. but
not where she lived. She was carried
into a nearby house. The ambulance ar
rived and Dr. Seibert. after examination.
declared she was not injured seriously
enough for removal to the hospital, but
that she should be removed TO her home
According to the police reports, DR.. >sei-
bert was informed that the woman's ad-
dress was not known and was asked TO
take her to the hospital
It was then. the police say, that Dr.
Seibert made the remark that the city
hospital was not a poor farm. 1t IS al
legged by the police that DR.. Seibert or
dered Leonard Cox, ambulance driver, to
leave and that Cox picked up his stretch
ers and prepared to depart After some
alteration, the police say, DR.. Seibert
finally accepted the patient and she was
taken to the hospital Fifteen minutes
elapsed between the arrival and departure
of the ambulance and the doctor failed to
give the patient the usual temporary
dressing, according to the police.
DR.. Foreman said he investigated the
affair last night as soon as he heard Of it.
He said that Dr.. Seibert told him he had
informed the police the would was not
serious enough to warrant taking Mrs.
Stingley TO the hospital and that an argu-
ment had ensued. Cox told DR.. Foreman
that there was a delay of only FIVE min
uues between the time the ambulance ar
rived and started with the patient for
the hospital and both he and DR.. Seibert
said this was due to an effort to locate
the womans home.
DIR. Foreman said he did not know
whether DR.. Seibert had made the re-
mark about the city hospital not being
a poor farm or not but that he had rep
ztmanded the doctor Tor losing his tenn
per.
"Dr. Seibert or no other employee OF
the hospital has authority from me to
make a remark about the hospital not
being a poor farm and. of course I do
not countenance any such thing" said Dr..
Foreman.

AUTO LICENSE
SALES ADVANCE
HALF MILLION
Head of State Automobile De-
partment Gives Out Inter-
esting Data.

Sale of automobile licenses in Indiana
during the year 1921 has increased ap-
proximately S500,000 over the sales of
1920, II d. McClelIand, manager of the
State automobile department, said today.
The largest increase in the sales of the
license plates was in the motor truck
division Mr.. McClelIand said.
Money collected by the State from the
sale of these plates is turned over to the
State highway commission and is used
for the building of roads.
The funds collected by the State during
the past year for the sale of plates was
$2.422,171 while the State sold only ST.
COB, 500 during 1920. Approximately
$4,000 of this money was spent for sup
plies and salaries, including the license
plates which cost the State about 10 cents
each. The State in turn sells these plates
to the people at prices ranging from So
to spa according to the size and horse
power of the automobile or truck.
APPLICATION OF
NEW TITLE LAW.
The certificate of title law has proved
successful, Mr.. McClelland said. More
than 1887 900 has been collected by this
department during the six months that
the law has been in effect. The law
as passed by the Legislature provides
that every car must have certificate of
title, and this must be registered with
the secretary Of State. The certificate of
title law acts in the same capacity as
the land registration law which requires
that all land sold or purchased must be
registered. OF the 1887, 600 collected by
the department, $1S7 600 has been spent
for supplies and salaries, including the
certificates. and the containers which
must be placed in the car. The remainder
Of the money collected, will be held by
the auditor of State and will be used for
the apprehension of automobile thieves
in the future.
LARGE COLLECTIONS
EXPECTED THIS YEAR.
This year will see the largest collec-
ton of money under this law, Mr.. Nc
Clelland said, because owners of auto
mobiles are not required to obtain a
new certificate OF title each year, but
only when the car is sold.
The twelve State police which were
appointed TO enforce the law have ar
rested and convicted more than one
hundred men.
Attempts to have the State enforce the
anti-glare headlight law will not be
given any attention. Mr.. McClelland said,
because the State has no police powers
in this matter The only persons who
are able to enforce the law are the local
police.

REPORT SHOWS
BRIDGES COST
IS $87,719.72
State Highway Commission
Submits Annual State
ment to Governor.

The erection Of concrete bridges in In
diana during the last year cost taxpayers
of the State So a square foot, according
to a report made to Governor Warren t.
McCray by the State highway commits
sion today. During 1920 the cost per
square foot was 50 according to the re-
port.
Steel bridges were s. a foot in 1921,
while in 1920, the average cost per square
foot was S.
Thirty-eight bridges, at a cost of $751;
1872 were built in the State during
1921. according to the report.
REPORT SHOWS HOW
COSTS ARE DIVIDED.
The estimated average cost of road and
bridge supervision in the State during the
year was approximately SIG per cent OF
the actual amount of money spent on road
and bridge building. During the year
1920. the cost of bridge and road super
vision was approximately u per cent of
the amount Of money actually spent by
the commission on construction.
The supervising cost during the past
year has been reduced. it was said, be-
cause of the ideal conditions for road and
bridge building.
The large cost during the previous year
was said TO have been caused by high
wages, paid to the supervising heads of
the projects The Federal Government
allows 10 per cent of the actual mOney
spent in construction.
Every possible effort is being made by
the bridge department to repair the old
bridges which have been in use for as
long as fifty years. and to replace those
that cannot be repaired.
WOODEN BRIDGES
STILL GOOD.
Among the best of the present bridges
found on our highways are the old wood
covered bridges built during the quar-
ter Of a century following the civil
War. We still have a large number of
these structures, mostly Of long span.
that are giving splendid service and will
continue to do so for several years TO
come. The chief structural weakness Of
this type of bridge is their light floor
system and almost a total lack Of trans
verse bracing, the latter being neces-
sary in order to prevent the high trusses
from tumbling over sidewise under the
present heavy loadings," the report Says.
The average cost of a cubic yard of
concrete during the present year was
S1695. while in 1920 the average cost
was S236S per cubic yard of concrete.
The average cost of steel used in 1920
was ST cents per pound. while during
the present year the average cost was 81
cents per pound.
