TO the Honorable
The Mayor and City Council
of the City of WyandOtte
Gentlemen:
On January |. 1913 the provisions
Of the 1912 United States Revenue
Act become effective.
Under these provisions municipall-
ties will be held responsible for the
deduction or withholding. for Victory
Tax purposes. of per cent OF each
employees pay after a deduction OF
an amount equalivalent TO S624.W per
wear or $500 per week. which money
must be turned over by the city 10
the Collector of Internal Revenue AT
the end Of each quarter OF the calen-
dar wear. This deduction must be made
from any payment TO employees arter
December 81. 1912.
Therefore. would respectfully sug-
sest that yOu autOhrizP all payroils
unnroved AZ of December n. regard
less Of earlier payroll dates, as IL
would seem unfair To deduct from
emplovees' wages any tax on wages
earned prior To that date. even though
paid after December 81.
