City Administration Working On 1914
Budget; Big Cut In Tax Rate Expected

, All this week, the Mayor and
members Of the City Council have
been in daily sessions, working on
the 1914 budget and the results OF
their deliberations will probably be
announced tomorrow or Saturday.
When the budget figures are re-
leased, you can be reasonably GER
tain that the 1914 tax rate will be
slashed for the second year in sue
cession. Last year, you will re-
member, the rate was cut from 90
cents on the one hundred dollars TO
10 cents, and this reduction, togeth-
er with the reduced electric light
rate, announced at the same time,
actually gave the taxpayers reduc-
ton of Ia III cents.
With both Baltimore and Freder-
ick announcing an increase in the
tax rate for 1914, the intention of
the Mayor and Council to again re-
duce Hagerstown's tax rate, shows,
not only that the city of Hagerstown
is in a very healthy financial condi-
ton, but also that the men that the
taxpayers chose to run the city have
done good job.
The City Administration, headed
by Mayor Richard Sweeney, has
during 1913: Provided added facil-
tiles wherever they have been need
ed; kept the city's streets in repair;
added considerably to the city's post
war projects fund and now contem-
plates winding up the years work
by presenting the taxpayers with a
real Christmas present--another re-
duction in the tax rate.

In former years, income tax re.
turns were filed on or before March

filed returns on September Is, but
farmers were exempted by law from
the necessity of filing returns OF that
time. They are, however, required
to file on or before December Is
and will incur penalties il they fai
to do so.
Income tax blanks will not be
sent to farmers without application
but can be obtained by mail from the

Representatives of the Collector
of Internal Revenue will visit al
counties in Maryland TO help farm

Farmers are advised to watch Their
local papers for announcements o
the time and place for these visits.
In addition to farmers, Mr. Ny
strom points out, two other groups
must file income tax returns on De
oember IS. The first group in
cludes those whose incomes did no
require filing on September ID, bu
now are large enough to make
them subject to tax. And, second
those who substantially underesti
mated their tax in September ant

A final income tax return cover
ing the year 1943 will be due on Oh
