RECORD RUSH IN
 EVIDENCE TODAY
Hundreds Seek to Pay Old Age Assistance Tax Bee
 fore Penalty Is Levied

The rush to pay the old age as- sistance tax before the penalty of $1 extra is invoked was on in full swing at the city hall today. Tax Collector Humbert Mangini was of the opinion that collections today would be the highest for any single day since the tax fell due Feb. 1, even exceeding yesterdays total of almost $l0,0OO.
 Scores were also appearing to back personal property taxes on automobiles, while others were in line to make payment of other de- linquent tax accounts, notices of which have been mailed out during the past week.
 The last day for payment of the old age tax is Monday, March 9 Collector Mangini having an- nounced an extension of one day because of the fact that March 1 falls on Sunday. Those failing to pay by Monday must pay a total of $4, the $1 penalty being added to the 8 tax.
 The rush of payments on back auto taxes is explained by the fact that car owners must secure 1922 registrations by Feb. 28, and regis tration are refused them at the state motor vehicle department of- flee if they are listed as delinquent in auto taxes. State law required the tax collector to submit to the motor vehicle department each year a list of auto tax delinquents.
