Only 10 Days
Left To Pay
Income Tax

Only 10 days remain to pre-
pare your Federal income tax re-
turns and pay any taxes due to
your district director of Internal
Revenue. That was the word today
from Thomas NJ. Robinson, dis
trict director of Internal Revenue
for the State of Montana. He
urged taxpayers of the district to
get to work on their returns if
they have not already begun such
action.
A n~ecessasy preliminary to
preparing a correct and proper
return Mr.. Robinson said, is COM
plete records of an individuals
or business financial operation
during 1855. With these in hand,
he pointed out, preparation of the
tax form should not be too diff
cult a task.
The district office will be able
to furnish information over the
telephone where questions of tax
payers do not involve complex
problems. Personal taxpayer as
sistance where matters of ex-
tenSive security or property hold
ings are not involved may be OBJ
tanned, but Mr.. Robinson urged
all taxpayers with complicated
financial statements to obtain the
services of tax consuItants.
District Director Robinson an
nounced that in addition to Mon
days a staff will be available for
taxpayer assistance Saturday,
April Z, and Saturday, April IA,
1856, II the Internal Revenue
Service offices in Billings, Boze-
man, Butte, Glasgow, Great Falls,
Havre, Helena, Kalispell, Lew
istown and Missoula.
Monday, April Is, the offices at
Billings, Butte, Great Falls, Hell
ena, and MiSsoula will remain OPP
m for taxpayer assistance until
900 p. m.

ly over $1,000 on hand to pay for

~provements necessary for public

TV Drive Nets
$4,000 In
Funds, Pledges

Thursday, March goth marked
the successful conclusion of the
drive to raise sufficient funds
with which to construct a tele-
vision station near Williston, N.
D., which will serve Western
North Dakota and Eastern Mon
tana. AT a meeting at Williston
that day the directors of the Mis-
souri, Valley Television Corpora
tion totaled all cash and pledges
received TO that date and found
that S472,000 had been received;
enough TO warrant construction of
the station and to assure adequate
operational funds for the first
five years of operation. The di-
rectors were authorized to enter
into the contract for conStruc-
ton and also to make the neces-
Sary application for federal IL
cenSeS. One official expressed the
opinion that the station could be
in operation in time for the World
Series next fall, and certainly in
time for the general elections in
November.
The City of Sidney exceeded
its goal of $4,000, raising APP
proximately $4,000. DR.. G.. A.
Beagle, chairman of the Rich
Land county area expressed great
satisfaction with the successful
outcome of the drive, and pointed
out that the local success could
be attributed to the great number
of local volunteers who worked
tirelessly in organizing the drive
and soliciting the funds person
ally.
DR.. Beagle warned however,
that the success of the drive still
depends upon all pledges being
honored. Pledge cards which were
signed promised that payment
would be made on or before April
18th, and all those who signed
such pledges are asked to make
the payment by that date at either
the Richland National Bank or
the Sidney National Bank in Sid
ney.

Sidney Fire
Dept Reports
Several Calls

Bonnie Dave, Jr., Richland coun-
ty fire chief, reports several grass
fires this past week, and a fire
at one restaurant in Sidney.
On Sept. 2 at 2 p. m, the fire
department was called to the old
Louis Lang place 4 miles west
of Savage, where fire burned over
300 acres of grass land before 1t
was brought under control. The
old unoccupied buildings, the Dr.
iginal Lang holdings, were de-
stroyed.
While the firemen were on the
Lang place, another call came
from the Bergstedts, 3 miles north
of Savage, where fire covered 500
acres. Buildings and machinery
were saved on the Bergstedt farm.
Sunday afternoon at 4:30, the
Bonner residence at III 9Th ST.,
Sc, burned with a loss of approx
imately $4,000 to the building and
$4,000 to Bonner's personal prop
erty. The rented home was COW
cred by insurance but the Bon
ners we're uninsured. The fire Or
iginated in the basement and as
there was no one home at the
time, it had a good start before
being discovered.
Late Sunday evening, the de-
partment was called to the dump
grounds where a fire was brought
under immediate control with nc
damage to outside property.

County-Wi
Tax Association
Recommended

A countrywide tax association
designed to work for equaliza-
ton, full use of the tax dollar,
and to serve as an advisory group,
was claSsed as a must program.
This action was taken by the
Sidney Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors at their regu-
lar meeting Monday. A special
taxation committee with a goal
of organizing a county associa-
ton will be headed by Don
Nutter and Volney Anderson. The
Richland County Planning Board
will be asked TO help form the
association.
The board approved Secretary
Manager Dan Price attending the
annual state MACON meeting
next week and heard reports on
the widespread acceptance of the
new membership classification
system. Industrial development
progress was reviewed and rep
resentation from this community
was approved at a state meeting
scheduled in Helena on April 10
and 20.
Plans for the Sidney Armory
were reviewed and according to
President Dean Beck this import
ant facility will be a great COM
munity asset and should help in
proper sbaffing of the local Guard
A. The community will
be required to fuCpish sewage dis
posal facilities plus a water we'll.
A number of organizations and
individuals have already agreed
to help on this need and a COM
munity committee was recon-
mended by the board for that
project.
