EXTENSION URGED
IN TAX DEADL|NE
Legal Experts Cite CompIi.
Gated Provisions of Busi-
ness Levy.
BY DON S. WARREN.


Finding many complicated twists
to the business privilege tax, which
soon must be levied, District tax and
legal exports yesterday recommended
to the Commissioners that the dead
line for filing of the returns be ex-
tended to October l, allowing IA more
days for preparation.
The Commissioners probably will
approve the suggestion. which was
made by Corporation Counsel Elwood
II. Seal, his new assistant, 10 v. Nor
gan, who is specializing on the tax
bills, and Tax Assessor Fred D. Allen
The law prescribes that all persons
engaged in business or professions
shall file returns within 80 days of
the effective date Of the act, or by
October /, but Morgan notes that
the Commissioners are also given au-
thority to extend the time up to 80
days If there is due cause"
May Prove Embarrassing.
In this case the cause" would be
fear that the Districts agents could
not get the forms for the return into
the hands Of all taxpayers in time to
enable them to make the necessary
calculations. This might prove en-
barrassing to the Commissioners, since
the law states they must levy a pen
atty for delinquent returns of 10 per
cent OF the tax due, plus per cent
Tor each month Of delay or fraction
OF a month. The taxpayer might
claim the fault lay with the District,
1t is said
Ihe rush to complete preparations
Tor the new levy will not be lessened,
however, District officials say. Thou
sands OF the return forms now are be-
Ing printed, and the Commissioners
have shifted 10 clerks from other d.
visions to the tax Office to type the
names OF taxpayers on envelopes.
Into these will go the forms, and to-
morrow the flood of the notices will be
started to the taxpayers.
Forms to Be Mailed Ont.
Assessor Allen plans to mail out the
forms to all persons now on the Dis
trlcts tangible personal property tax
list. This may not reach all who are
subject to making the returns, how
ever, 1t is said. Any one calling at
the tax assessors Office may obtain
copies. Offlcials say possibly 10000
persons may have to make returns.
Meanwhile, Morgan is Fastening the
draft OF rules and regulations, and
these may be ready for action by the
Commissioners Tuesday or Wednes-
day. They are being designed to an
swer many questions which are be-
ginning to come to the tax Officials.
Morgan yesterday explained one
Of the complications he has discov-
cred in the requirements for filing of
returns. Normally they are to show
the gross receipts taken by the busl-
