Special Cor. Every Evening.

Special Cor. Every Evening.
Dover, Sept. 22.-Announce-
ment was made here yesterday
that State Treasurer George NJ.
Fisher will have executions is
sued today on all judgments OBJ
tanned against delinquent state
income taxpayers. An attempt
viii be made to collect by law
the amounts due.
At the same time all outstand-
ing accounts for taxes due will
be placed in the hands of the
attorney-general for collection.
In view of the fact that many
delinquents have been frank
enough to notify the collectors
of their belief that the extra
income tax is Illegal and they
prefer taking chances of prose-
cution rather than paying over
the money and waiting until
the Legislature sees fit to re-
turn it, the state treasurer pro-
poses TO so ahead and force
collections, thus enabling any
one who desires, TO make
a test case in court.
