INCOME RETURN
MUST Be MADE

The bank holiday caused great
confusion today among taxpayers
who are due to make their returns
by March Is and accompany them
by at least one-quarter of the pay
ment.
The Internal Revenue Bureau
was flooded with inquiries, and
after some confusion, officials ex-
planned that the bank holiday will
not affect the necessity for max
ing returns as usual.
Checks attached to returns will
be accepted on a basis of collec-
ton. If they cannot be collected,
they will be returned to the tax
payers with a demand for other
payment.
In cases where taxpayers have
no other funds except their Sc
questered bank accounts, they can
appear before the collectors, make
an affidavit to the fact, and it
will rest in the collectors discre-
ton whether toegrant an exten-
sion of time. s
Collectors have the authority to
grant extensions up to 18 months.
