GROSS INCOME TAX

Information May Be Obtained at the Auto License Bureau—Last Date July Fiiteenth.

For the guidance of persons whe owe gross income tax, Al V. Korpal, filed agen:. of the gross imcome tuX division, today announced the general rules regarding taxpayers’ liability for making tax returns due by July 15. The rules follow: ‘ Quarterly gross income tax Te. turps, covering income for the months of April, May and June, are due OD ‘or before July 15th. o Assistance in p're-paring returns 1: available at all state automobile - cense brnches, _ ePrsons or firms whose tax on income for the months of April, May and June amounts to more than $lO are required by law to.file a return by July 15 an dpay the tax due. Persons or firms whose tax on income for these months is less than $lO a.c¢ aliowed by law to defer filing a return until the end of the year. The state, however, is inviting payments by such persons of firms, hecause quarterly installment payments .made now will increase the funds available for the next distribution tc schools from the gross income tax and because payments are easier [o: most taxpayers to pay. . The exemption for the three-fourth period of April, May and June is, $250 which is to be deducted from Juiy gross income tax returns before computing the tax. If no return was filed in Axprir-c?v-“ering income for January, February _and March, but the taxpayer qesives o 1 is required to file a return in July, the return should cover the six months from January 1 to June: 30. The exemption for the six months is $5OO. I for any reason, a person did not file. a return in January covering income received between May 1 and ‘December 31 last year, but should have filed such a return, the retu:n should be filed at once. The penalties on such delinquent returns filed "voluntarily —are small, and license branch managers can -assist in making out the returns.

Mrs. Robert Harshberger of this city underwent an operation at Goshen hospital Saturday afternoon and was discharged Sunday.

Included in the loss at the dance hall was all the instruments of amn orchestra engaged to play there Saturday night. - ‘Work was started Saturday, whi'e the ruins were-still smouldering on a new dance hall. The site is just south of the structure. The floor wiil be laid in time to hold scheduled entertainments over the Fourth of July A canvass canopy will be placed over ‘the floor.
