Lipman Opposes Paying Government
 $2,Sl2 Extra On 1924 Income Tax

The internal revenue agent at New Haven disallowcd this figure and substituted therefor $12,345.67. which represented the estimated value of his stock in trade on March 1, 1913.
 When the tax return of the New Britain man was audited by the commissioner Of internal revenue he ruled out both the inventory figure and the amount included for ac counts receivable, He admitted that an inventory figure could be de- ducted from the net income but ruled that it could not be estimated. He made no explanation of the other omission.
 Mr. Lipman now charges the com missioner is unfair since there is no other way of determining what the value of the inventory of his busi- ness was in 1924 for tax purposes.
 In 1924, the taxpayer paid an in- come tax of $74.60, on a reported in come of $7,3S6.74, while the com- missioner contends he should have an income of S3G,S37.21.
