District Income Tax
May: Top $3,200,o00,
Assessor Believes
Collections, Especially
For Personal Returns,
Far Exceed Estimates

The Districts revenue outlook
frightened yesterday when Tax As
SCISSOR Edward A. Dent expressed
a belief that collections from the
individual and corporation net in
come taxes would exceed the esti-
mated total receipts Of 5000. 900.
Mr.. Dent based his prediction on
the fact that, although some TOO
corporations have not yet paid their
taxes, the District Is assured Of re-
ceipts Of $2975,680 from the re-
turns filed before the deadline April
IS. Not all Of this has been re-
ceived yet, of course. because the
taxpayer is permitted to pay his
tax in two installments, the second
being due in September.
Returns from the personal income
levy totaled $1,643,883, a figure far
exceeding even the highest hopes
of municipal tax officials, who had
anticipated that collections from
this levy would total about $1,000.-
600. Mr.. Dent said 10l,084 indi-
vidual returns had been filed, but
"a ,301 of these owed no tax.
Up to yesterday. 2,85l corpora
tions subject to the S per cent net
income tax had filed returns and
paid in a total of 1881, ,797. bring
ing the total receipts to $2,975 $50
However, Mr.. Dent pointed out
that there are some 500 corporations
which have not yet reported because
their business is on a fiscal year
basis. He estimated the District
would receive approximately $780,
600 from these firms.
In addition, the assessor ex-
planned, there are 210 corporations
which have been granted extensions.
From these he expects enough reve-
nue. to push the final figure over
the original estimated return of
$4,000, 900.

How could so bad a mother be
To spank for things not half dear

Too hasty those hands I fear.

BALANCING THE BUDGET
SOUPS
by B. Naryn


Soup probably offers the greatest variations of
any one dish. No two nations cook the soup the
same way and probably two cooks the same
soup the same way.
There are several types Of soup and many kinds
within each type. There consome, cream,
bouillon, PURGE, meat soups, milk soups fish soups
cold soups, jellted soups, fruit soups. There is
the soup that wets the appetite like the bouillon
and consume; then there is the good old fashioned
soup full of vegetables, legumes, meat and NATION
that is meal in itself and then there is the cream
ed soup for added nutrition.
The soup you your family should be chosen
for specific and those reasons depend en-
tirely on the rest of the meal.
If the main dish contains potein and carbohydrate
e.g. meat and potatoes-the soup should be the
boutllon consome variety and served as an appe-
tier. The addi tion of this kind of soup dresses up
a meal at very little cost.
If the main dish consists Of left-overs that are
none too substantial the creamed soup makes an
cellent addition to the meal rounding it out with
extra nutrition.
The following suggest meals using the different
types of soup:
Vegetable soup with Cream of Pea soup
Salad Canned fish salad
Pudding Vegetables
Tapioca pudding
Bouillon
Eeat loaf, potatoes, carrots
Stewed fruit
to be contimed)
