NEW RENT
 AMENDMENTS
 GIVEN BY OPA

Several important amendments to the Rent Division have been an- nounced by he Rent Director of Alaska 0PA. Two of these amend ments definitely tighten up evic- ton requirements. A landlord whose ownership dates back to Nov 1. 1922 and who seeks to eyict tenant in order that he may occupy the dwelling himself must now show a compelling necessity to do so unless he is an ex-serviceman.
 Heretofore a purchaser of rent al property could evict tenant. if self-occupancy was desired, three month ofter procuring a eertifi- cate from the OPA. OPA claims the three months waiting period provided in the Rent Regulation has proven totally inadequate 10 enable dispossessed tenants to find other accommodations in price range within their ability to pay Under the revised law the waiting period is extended to six months unless the Rent Director deter mines that conditions in the area indicates that three months are sufficient for the maintenance Of stabilized housing. On the other hand. the Director can waive the waiting period entirely if the pur- chaser has been in the armed ser vice and is faced with the neees- sity of securing accommodation for himself and family.
 The revised Rent Regulation also eliminates as cause for removing tenant. remodeling, demolition or alteration of the dwelling unit. Tn order to eyict a tenant on these grounds now, application must be made to the Rent Director for an eviction certificate, and each such application will hinge on the rel ative necessity of both the owner and the tenant.
 According to OPA officials this and the other changes are in recos- milton of the increasing ditticuI- ties faced by tenants in securing alternative rental housing where the supply is inadequate. Proper i ties are being removed from the rental market at an accelerated pace by sales to owner occupants. The diminishing supply available to tenants at the wars beginning if being further exhausted by re- turning veterans, OPA said.

January Is
Deadiifae ON
Tax Papers

Lewis Penwell. collector of intern
al revenue, reminded taxpayers in
this district today that Jan. IS is the
deadline for filing original or a
mended 1914 declarations of esti-
mated tax and for paying install
ments on previously filed declara-
tons for 1914.
Nearly all farmers are required to
file original 1914 declarations by
Jan. Is. Most other taxpayers who
were required to file 1914 declara-
tons did so last April. but those who
underestimated their tax by more
than 20 percent should file amended
declarations to avoid the penalty
for substantial underestimate. Jan.
Is. likewise. is the last day for pay
ing all installments due on 1914 de-
clarations.
Mr.. Penwell also called attention
to the new provision of law which
permits a taxpayer to file his annual
income tax return for 1914 and pay
the tax due on the return by Jan.
Is, instead of filing or paying "esti-
tax" otherwise due at that
time. Taxpayers availing themselves
of this special provision will be
saved the double duty of filing and
paying estimated tax" on Jan. Is
and filing and paying of the annual
March IS. March Is remains
the regular deadline for filing 1914
annual returns and 1945 declarations
of estimated tax.
For detailed information and
forms. Mr.. Penwell invited taXpay-
ers to call at his office at Helena, or
offices, including Glasgow.
