MARYLAND Tax Returns
Slower, But Receipts Gain
BY the Assoeiofed Press


ANNAPOLIS, April g. Income
Tax Division employees are busy
sorting 10. bags of returns. but the
big annual rush Is yet to come
during the next two weeks.
The deadline for filing 1916 in
come tax returns is April Is.
The returns were coming in more
slowly than last year, but the pay
ments UP to March 81 were nearly
100000 higher.
This was due chiefly to the fact
that the so per cent reduction al
lowed on 1945 income just wasn't
there for the 1916 returns.
There was still evidence that
money was flowing freely as the
great majority of taxpayers inclosed
full payment, stunning the quar-
terly plan.
Up to March 3l-the last tabu-
lated returns-the State had re-
ceived $3.50 forms with $1,798, ,024
against 43,964 and $1,004,9 in the
same period last year.
Special assistance in filing tax
returns will be provided citizens
Saturday from 9 am. to IL midnight
at seven places in the State. Pay
ments will be received at the same
time.
Offices which will be open include
the Annapolis Office of the Income
