Municipal Plant
May Add Turbine

Addition of a second turbine at
Buttons municipal light and power
plant was viewed as possibility
with announcement that John Swish
er, superintendent of the plant was
in Denver, Colorado, inspecting a
turbine operating in that city.
Need of an additional unit to meet
Bluffton's growing demand for power
has been discussed informally both
by the town council and the board
of public affairs.
While the present unit is sufficient
to take care of all present require
ments, there is not sufficient equip
ment in reserve to continue the pres
ent output of the plant in event of
an emergency caused by a shutdown
of the turbine unit now in opera
ton, it was stated.
The present turbine, a $50 XIV
unit, has been in operation since the
fall of 1910. Two Skinner Uni-fow
engines displaced by the turbine have
been held for emergency use since
that time.

Numerous Residents Have Al
ready Filed Returns or
Made Payments
Lower Exemptions and Higher
Wages Expected to Cause
Double Returns

With numerous Bluffton district
residents already having filed income
tax returns, the annual rush to make
reports and payments has started
this year earlier than usual, it was
stated by Bluffton postal officials the
first of the week.
Although the deadline date for fl
ing returns is March Is, inquiries
for the income tax blanks and infor-
nation have been made throughout
December and January and continue
in increasing numbers.
DEPUTY COLLECTORS HERE
For the convenience of the resi-
dents of the community deputy col
lectors will be at the Bluffton post
office to assist in making out the
returns on the following Mondays:
Feb. 2, is, % and March 2.
Residents are requested to have all
financial data at hand and to have
the income tax blanks as well filled
out as possible before they confer
with the deputy collectors. Portions
Of the blank concerning which there
is doubt may be left vacant until the
matter can be settled at the con-
ference.
Tax blanks may be obtained at the
post office or the Citizens National
Bank. Farmers are required to fill
out special blank which also may
be obtained at either place.
EXEMPTIONS
All wage earners are required to
file return if their income is $3.50
or over and they are single or mar
ried but not living with husband or
wife. Returns also must be filed by
married persons living with husband
or wife whose combined gross income
is $1,000.
Returns for the calendar year 1941
must be filed not later than March
15, 1912, with the Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the district in
which you reside or have your prin-
cipal place of business. Bluffton is
in the Toledo district.
A penalty of not more than S10,-
900 or Imprisonment for not more
than one year, or both, is imposed by
statute for willful failure to make
return on time, and, in addition, five
to 25 per cent of the amount of the
tax.
Due to lower personal exemption
and to higher wages in 1941, it i:
expected that at least twice as many
Bluffton residents will file income ia,
reports as compared to previou!
years.
