Krtger recently secured a permit to
install a water pipe connection from
the main to the cellar. The protes-

to the large pump installed on the
sidewalk.

the place and remove the gasoline
pipes Commissioner Pierson sent
the men to do the job at IL o'clock

Two members Of the Hawaiian
Quartet, the guitar players, Walter

both members Of the original Bird
of Paradise" company and the first
natives OF those little islands TO sing
for American phonograph records.
The music for the revue was writ
ten by Wassili Leps. well known
composer OF Philadelphia. He ex-
pected to be in Wilmington last even

disposed and may be here this even
ing or tomorrow. The songs are all
tuneful and the music OF the guitars
and ukeleles particularly appealed to
the hearers.
Koomari iRagini. the dancer prov
ed entertaining. She gave an abund-
ance OF good dances Interpreting
the Hawaiian dances in a most
pleasing manner.

ON Income TAX
Government Audit Also
Shows Some Overpaid;
Arn't They Lucky?
THOSE SHY MUST
PAY AT ONCE

Collector OF Internal Revenue II.
T. Graham today announced that the
examination and audit Of income tax
returns. Forms 1040 A, income of
less than $4,000. for the year 1920,
has been completed in his Office.
The audit has resulted in the dis
covery OF additional tax due from
large number OF taxpayers, as well
as the overpayment OF tax in some
instances.
The reasons given by the auditors
for the corrections in the amount OF
tax due are-mathematica errors,
personal exemption for single and
married persons. exemption for
head OF family" allowance for de-
pondents, items OF expense which
were OF a personal character rather
than a business expense. improve
ments and repairs to taxpayers resi-
dences. and charitable contributions
in excess OF IS per cent OF net in
come.
Collector Graham has addressed
letters to taxpayers whose returns
show additional tax due. explaining
in detail the basis for the assessment
OF the additional tax. This tax must
be paid in fun at once. as no pro-
vision Is made in the law or regu-
lations for quarterly payments as in
the case of the tax reported on
March 10 OF each year.
Checks have been sent TO those
taxpayers who filed returns in Feb
ruary, showing an overpayment OF
tax. taxpayers who filed returns at "A
later date. showing an overpayment
Of tax. will receive checks June 1.
Incomplete returns and returns re-
quiring further information from
taxpayers will be placed in the hands
