roughly equal to the entire pro-

that the franchise tax must be re-

other tax imposed, unless the

well repaid, as many phases Of Lin

clear, concise manner such as very

TAXABLES URGED TO
FILE RETURNS EARLY
Tax Department Is Able TO Handle
Rush, But Il Advises Early Filing


II YOU like to stand and wait your
turn in long lines, be jostled about
and get your temper ruffled, don't
file your income tax now, just wait
until March, and you'll get your
wish.
people must like the crush and
the Jam Of the last minute rush
with thousands of others" State
tax officials said this week, "Or how
do you explain it?''
This year. however, the State
Tax Department is starting early to
warn the public of what they are in
for if they delay.
Approximately $4,000 persons are
expected to visit the offices in the
three counties by the final day for
filing, March Is. After that tax
ables are subject to fine or inn
prisonment or both.
From past experience the officials
said, it is expected 5000 persons will
be assisted in preparing returns in
February and 10000 will delay until
the usual March rush.
Two ways to avoid such trouble
it was pointed out, are to prepare
and mail the returns or to come to
the various offices Immediately for
assistance in filing.
In recent years, at least 60 per
cent of the taxables have used the
mails, the officials said, while ap-
proximately 40 per cent in each
county have visited the offices per-
sonally. This means about 10000
persons visited the Wilmington Of
flee; $500 the Dover Office, and 4,400
the Georgetown Office.
