For First Month";
Sales Tax Returns

Tuesday is the deadline for mer-
chants to file returns on the first
month of the District sales tax.
Sales Tax Administrator Allan
F. Brooke said he would report
on the revenue yielded by the 2
per cent levy during August to
Tax Assessor Edward A. Dent on
Wednesday.
About 200 merchants. however,
have received permission to hold
up their returns until the end of
this month. Bookkeeping OBJ
stacles were the main grounds
cited in requests for permission to
file late. Only a dozen or so of
these firms are among the large
scale businesses. it was reported.
$500 Returns Filed.
Approximately $500 of the city's
$1,000 merchants already have
filed returns amounting to $780,
900.
During hearings on the new re-
venue act, it was estimated the
levy would add about 81, ,125 900
a month to the city's tax collec-
tions. but officials admitted this
Was.only a guess -
Budget officers estimate 1t will
take at least two months returns
to give them a line on just what
the annual intake may be. The
August and September collections
are expected to weigh largely in
the final revenue estimates to be
made by the Budget Bureau with
the aid of District budget officials
about December /.
- Estimates to Be Ready Soon.
This rough estimate OF revenue
available for the year 1851 will
guide the Commissioners in their
requests for funds to operate the
various departments of the city
government.
Estimates made by the various
department heads are expected to
be made public next week. Prob
ably on the strength of the ex-
pected returns from the sales tax,
the estimates repeatedly are
higher than ever this year. They
are expected to amount to $l43,-
900 900 or more.
It is predicted, however, that
Congress will be asked for only
SIS, ,000, 900 to 100000 more for
the 1851 District budget than
the $103 900. 900 figure of 1850.

talked with the two men, identi-
fled by Norman and Johnny. They
got a confession, too.
1t was past midnight when the
boys got home from police head
