County In Midst Of
Pre-Christnas Storm

Garrett county was in the midst of
its usual pre-Christmas storm this
week, with a snowfall ranging up to
about II inches, but seemed to have
escaped the dense snowfall that had
hit other sections of the country.
Drifts were piling up on all roads
as high winds whipped the snow about
and State road crews were kept busy
most of the night in maintaining thru
traffic. Most of the states heavy
equipment was being used to pillow
through the drifts that reached eight
and ten feet high in spots. County
roads crews were also at work and
were keeping some of the secondary
roads open for school busses.
Merle Frantz, elementary principal,
said that the storm and influenza had
cut his attendance to about 30 percent
but that most of the busscs had come
in fairly we'll loaded. Attendance was
better at the high school, according to
f. D. Bittle, principal, with the flu
cutting attendance to about 70 percent
during the week, and the storm this
morning cutting still deeper into the

End of Year to Make
1916 Income Estimate

The farmer who files his 1915 Fed
cral income tax return by January
IS, 1916, can skip the estimated return
on 1916 income tax which formerly
was required at that time, says John
H. Carter, County Agricultural Agent
for Garrett county.
Changes in the income tax law now
allow farmer to wait until the end
Of the year to make his estimate of
income and tax, and to pay the full
amount of tax at that time Difficulty
Of estimating income in advance has
brought this change, so that payment
can be made any time between De
cember 81 and January IS.
Regular Form 1O4O-F, the sched-
ule of farm income and expenses, is
used to determine the farm income
and is filed along with the tax return,
Form 1910.
Miscellaneous Publication No. 55l,
Farm Bookkeeping and the Federal
Income Tax" will be helpful to farm
crs filing income returns. The publ
cation may be secured at the County
Agents office. Copies Will be mailed

i last Friday afternoon with the prin-
cipal order of business preparing the

| submission to the County Commission
ers, who will pass upon it before the

| 1915. The total of the estimated re-
/ quirements for current expenses for
| 1916 is given as $466 1871 whereas the
| budget of year ago set out $406 PAT.
The budget further sets forth an es
| timated equalization fund of $240840
| for 1916 whereas last years budget
set forth $l67,60 This increase is
also due largely to the increases in the
! salaries Of teachers.
For 1915, the sum of $104,94462
was levied in the county levy whereas
for 1916. the sum of $10S,21S is re-
