Internal Revenue Office Open In
CAMBRIDGE for County Taxpayers

An Internal Revenue Service
office will be opened in the Post
Office at Cambridge, on Feb.
1914 and Is for the purpose of
giving guidance and assistance
to Noble County taxpayers in the
preparation of their personal in
come tax returns.
AS was the case last year, tax
payers will be counselled and
aided in groups, in order to al
low the Service to be of most
help TO the largest number of
people. Specific days have been
scheduled since it is difficult to
give group help on al intermit-
tent basis.
This system proved its value
last year." Nathaniel LOCKER, Co
lumbus District Director, stated.
For some time it has been APP
parent that with SO many tax
payers and, comparatively, SO
lew Internal revenue employees,
it is no longer possible to sit
down and actually prepare re-
turns for individuals since only
a small minority can be served
in this way Moreover, to use
personnel badly needed in reg
ular enforcement and cCllectior
work, to prepare tax returns foi
comparative few, is unfair tC
taxpayers who complete theil
own. Our present practice en-
ables us to serve many times the
number previously accommodated
and at much less cost. BY this
means, no one will be deprived
of essential information or ser
vice.
