who have made insufficient or in
correct returns notice.
IF these notices do not develop
satisfactory returns or explanations
the Tax Commissioner feels obliged
to proceed against the delinquents
by making assessment.
1T will be seen from the above
that it is the policy of the Tax Com
missioner to proceed without undue
haste or harshness in the collection
of delinquent accounts, this policy
having been approved at the meet
ing of the Board held in the latter
part of October.
There is being prepared a list of
the rulings of the Tax Department,
which will be open for public inspec-
tiOn, and a copy sent to the members
of the Tax Department.
The following questions are sub
mitted to the Tax Department for
their decision:
I'D Shall the Department rule
that those who have paid tax, but
whose returns seem defective, with
no evidence of intending to evade
tax, shall escape penalty, excepting
at 10 per month, if they answer
notice, furnish statements and pay
tax?
"(2) Shall the Department rule
that those who do not answer or
who either refuse information or re-
fuse access to their records or to
pay tax or additional taxes, shall be
assessed double, with interest at.
"(3) What is the best disposition
to make of the extraordinary eX-
penses of the Department? The
writer suggests that before the first
of January, 1926, a careful estimate
be made of the proposed cost of
conducting the Office for the balance
of the fiscal year and that the Tax
Department undertake a monthly
schedule of expenses that can be
carried through for that period. Any
expenses must be arrang-
ed for, month by month. The alter
native, which does not seem as ac-
would be to carry the to-
tai expenses as far as possible,
thereafter reducing forces to the
of persons employed on No
vember 1 or supplementing from in
dividual contribution at that time"
Respectfully submitted,
P. S. DUPONT,
State School Tax Commissioner.

Cabin John Park. Nd, is in

oThe towns postmaster for
thirty-five years, John Tuohey,
has resigned. There are no ap-
plicants for his position. If
nobody wants the job the post
office will be closed and Cabin
John Park will get its mail by
means of rural carriers.
The population of the town
only rates a fourth-class post
mastership, which means no
salary, except what he can get
from the cancellation of out
going mail, which amounts to
three cents on every two cents
of postage. But the residents
mail their letters in the city. so.
the returns are not large.
In other words, the township
