Time Extended on Income Tax.

Time Extended on Income Tax.
The South Carolina tax commission
granted an extension until May for
all persons and firms subject to pay
state income tar. Under the new law
the state income tax OF onethird the
amount OF the federal tax was due the
same time as the federal tax, not later
than March 15. This included the re-
turn and the first installment.
1t would have been impossible for
the tax commission to have enforced
this as It gave only two days to com.
plete the task Of setting up machinery
for the enforcing OF the tar. Under
the terms OF the law the tax commits
sion has authority to set such time
as 1t may see fit to take the returns
and under this authority the commits
sion extended the time to May 1. .
This year only an affidavit OF what
was paid the federal government will
be necessary, but in future years q
duplicate OF the federal return will
have to be filed with the sta,e gov.
ernment.

State Highway Commission Msets.
At the meeting Of the state highway
commission, Charles H. Mooreaeld,
state highway engineer. was re1uost-
ed to continue to serve as engineer
for the present year and Mr.. Moore
| field consented. 1t will be recalled
that Mr.. Moorefield resigned as engi-
was fight on in the Legislature. At
the request of the commission he
agreed to remain at his post for the
present
Two delegates, one from Abbeville
county and one from Aiken county,
came before the commission IN the in
terest of road work. l.. w. Keller, su.
pervisor, and H. B. Humbert, county
engineer, composed the delegation
from Abbeville. They sought federal
aid in the construction OF a proposed
project from the Anderson county line
via Lowndesville, Latimer and Cal,
houn Falls to the Mccormick county
line. The commission was g the
opinion that the road from Abbeviiio
to Calhoun Falls was Of greater i'm.
portance than the other. .
The delegation from AlkeA was
composed of C. J. Hill. DR.. w. A.
" hitioSh anu toohp
of the county commission. and r. D.
Glove, county engineer. The delega-
tion sought federal aid on tho road
from Salley to Monetta and requested
the adoption OF this road into the high
way system. AS the new federal aid
law provides that not more than seven
per cent Of the roads may be included
in the federal aid system and as that
percentage is already included, :he
admission of another road would nac-
essitate the elimination OF some ether
road. 1t WAS decided to eliminate the
road from Trenton to Augusta from
! the system and to give aid to the for.
mer project when funds are available.
The commission received q commu-
nication from the United Daughters Of
the Confederacy asking that the high
way from Cheraw, Camden, Columbia
to Augusta be designated as the JEFF
ferson Davis highway and this road
will be so named on the maps.
The request OF Bamberg county for
federal aid in the sum of $4,000 for
improving the road between Bamberg
and the Orangeburg county line was
received. The commission had already
approved $4,000 for this section and
! the additional $4,000 was requested
for allotment at the present time as
the county is ready to match the $780,
600. The commission approved the
request provided the county make ar
rangements to construct the bridge
over the Salkehatchie river. 80
No action was taken on the request
Of Greenville county for federal aid In
the sum Of $4,000 for the road from
Travellers Rest to the North Carolina
line in the direction of Brevard.

An additional $3.786.74 for Griffin
hagen and associates, efficiency engi-
neers Of Chicago. is carried In the
annual appropriation bill under ap-
proved claims. These engineers made
an investigation of the state govern
ment last year and submitted their
findings to the general assembly
which has adjourned. According to q
previous statement. the experts had
already been paid little over $4,000
and this additional fund brings the
amount to over SIS 900 for the investi-
cations. T.
