Urged To Report
Numbers Correctly

AS the time for filing another
quarterly social security tax re-
turn approaches, Glenn A. Gar
diner, manager of the Billings
Social Security board office, re-
minds employers to make GER
tain they report each employees
name and social security &C
count number correctly.
In this way, he said, they will
save the time and expense of
later having to check back on
their payroll records to correct
any errors.
Mr.. Gardner stated that prac-
tically all employers have now
learned the Importance of cor
rectly reporting their employees
account numbers and names as
we'll as their wages. He added,
however, that occasionally an
employees account number will
be missing from an employers
report, or the number will be
slightly incorrect, or the en-
ployee's name will be spelled
wrong. "In these cases." he said,
I'VE must ask the employer to
check back on his records ane
supply the correct information
Sometimes the employer ha.
failed to get the correct name
or account number from the
employee and must take time
to check with him. That means
a waste of time and consequent?
ly is expensive for the employ
err"
Mr.. Gardner pointed out that
the law makes the employer re-
sponsible for maintaining a
record of the employees name,
account number, and wages and
for reporting them correctly to
the government. The next quar-
terly social security tax return
is due on or before April 80.

WHEELER ANNOUNCES BIDS TO Be
OPENED FOR BIG HORN BRIDGE
New Structure
To Replace
Present Span

Bids for the construction of a
steel and concrete bridge to re-
place the present one located
just east of Hardin over the
Big Horn river will be opened
on May 16 when the state high
way commission meets at Hell
ena. it was announced in Bill
lings Tuesday by John M.
Wheeler, a member of the COM
mission.
The present bridge has been
inadequate for the amount of
traffic that passes over it for
some time, and plans have sew
eral times been discussed for
building a new span.
Although it is possible for
two passenger cars to pass on
the structure, it is so narrow
that most drivers wait at the
edge of the bridge if another
car is already on the roadway.
The bridge was damaged last
fall when a truck and trailer
hauling farm machinery struck
the side and bent one of the
supports. For a time, the span
was closed to heavy traffic, and
the floor was very uneven. AT
that time, the necessity for a
new bridge became apparent.
