Ceases pending on dockets on june

Get Duplicate
Bills on Taxes
If Not Received

Seventeen thousand bills for the
fourth and final payment ON income
ltaAeS due December II were placed
in the mails last night.
This installment will complete the
payment of taxes ON 1928 income
and will clear the deck for the col
lection of tax on 1924 income which
will be due on or before March -.
Collector of Internal Revenue Rex
b. Goodccll yesterday advised in
come taxpayers who do not receive
their bills by December to com
municatc with his office and secure
duplicate bills in order that they
may make their payments ON time
and avoid penalties. All bills have
been sent to the last addresses Civ
en- by taxpayers in their returns.
If taxpayer has moved and left no
forwarding address the fact that he
does not receive his bill does not
relieve him of his liability to meet
the December payment ON time, as
the law simply provides that the
bill be mailed to the last given ad-
dress of the taxpayer.
The fact that thousands of persons
have moved and left no addresses
is evidenced by the fact that four
thousand refund checks due taXpay.
crs were mailed to their last ad
dress and returned by the postofficc
as unbelievable. SO far as the
delivery of refund checks goes, these
four thousand taxpayers are classcd
among the "lost" by the revenue
bureau.
