County Auditor Gerry DeHoff Makes Explanation of Legal Requirements : A delinquent tax sale will be held for Noble county early in February of this year, after an interruption in thig procedure by emergency act of the legislature. Properties on which the current tax was defaulted in 1934 or earlier years and has not since been paid will be affected unless property owners took advantage of the moratorium deferred payment plan. ' fCounty Auditor Gerry DeHoff makes the following explanation: “Under the law now in force, it is necessary that our county treasurer offer for sale all real estate upon 'which the taxeg charged in 1933 and prior years are stiill unpaid. The only exemptions are in the cases of those who paid all the taxes charged in 1934 and payable in 1935 or those who notified the treasurer of their desire to take advantage of the 1935 tax moratorium act and have complied with the requirements of the act. The taxpayer’s notice. of intention to follow thig plan must have heen filed in the office of the county treasurer on or before the first monday in May of 1935, and in order for the taxpayer to continue his rights and privileges under the 1936 meoratorium act, he must have paid and must continue 1o pay each current installent when due, beginning with May, 1935. The first payment under the installment payment plan will be due and payable on or before the first Monday in May 1936, and each of these installment paymentg as well as the current installments must be paid when due in order for the taxpayer to keep from losing hig rights and privileges under the moratorium payment plan. “Those whg pay all their delinquent tax up to and including the iinstallment that was due and payable in May 1934, will alsp be exempted if such payment is made prior to the time their property is offered for sale. If such payment is not made until after the properiy is advertised for sale ang prior (o the date of sale, the costs of advertiging will be added to the tcial amount of delinquent tax. The advertising will be in county papers. To redeem the property during tihe first six month period succeeding that date, a penalty of 10 per cent additional must be paid. During the second six months period a penalty of 16 per cent will be added. Afrer the expiration of one year and during the succeeding 12 months period, a 26 percent penalty ig added. At the expiration of thig time, or two years after the date ofi the tax sale, the purchaser is entitledq to a tax title deed to the property. The above mentioned penalties become the property of tax sale purchaser, if the property is redeemed by the owner. “The list of properties subject to saleg are now being made up by the county treasurer and the county auditor.

AUTO INDUUSTRY BIG BOOM 1985 Output At 4,150,000 Units; Auto Makers Contribute To . G&lns

The automobile industry was again revealed as an outstanding contributor to general business recovery in the report, “Preliminary Facts angd Figures about the Automobile Industry during 1935, released by Alfred Reeves, vice-president and general manager of the Automobile Manufacturers association. : Estimating the year’s’ output of American car makers at 4,150,000 vehicles, the report disclosed that the industry collectively again had figured ag the largest single purchaser of the products of many of the country’s leading raw material industries. Besides absorbing 23 per cent of the iron and steel industry’s total output for the year, purchases by automobile manufacturers accounted for 75 per cent of the rubber consumption, 77 per cent of the plate glass production 39 per cent of the lead consumption, 33 per cent of the nickel, 22 per cent of the copper, 16 per cent of the alumi num, 15 per cent of the zinc, and 20 per eent of the tin. ; The manufacture of 50,000,000 automobile tireg during the year afforded a market of 885,000,000 pounds of crude rubber and 210,000,000 pounds of cotton fabric. In addition, 16,150,000,000 gallons. of gasoline (total retail price, including taxes., $3,260,00,000), and 485,000,000 gallons of lubricating oil were consumed in keeping the nation’s 26,000,000 cars and trucks operating during the year. The initial effects of the industry’s new fall model = anuouncement plan under which the 1936 lineg were introduced at the shows two months ago are evidenced by the year’s production figure of 4,150,000 cars and trucks. Before the shows, when the success of the industry’s departure from itg traditional policy of introduc ing new modelg after the first of the year was problematical experts were estimatng that the year’s outpui would be only 3,800,000. units. The business which has resulted in the last two monthg has made possible the increased figure. : Of the total output 3,400,000 wer2 passenger cars and 750,00 were commeércia] vehicles with a total combined wholesalg value of $2,186,400,000. Production of parts, tires and accessories for replacement purposes and service equipment increased the total whole sale value of the industry’s output for the year $2,999,500,000

. NEW RULING EXPLAINED Hooslers' Must Pay Tax On Income Recelved From Sources Outside - - of State ? T —— . : 1 The Indiana gross income tax alvision announced the revocation of its temporary regulation No. 191 allowing Indiana residents to defer the reporting for taxation of income derived from sources entirely outside the state of Indiana. On or before January 30, all taxpayers who have deferred reporting this type of income must file returns and pay tax on receipts received since the gross income tax law became effective May 1, 1933 it was announced. Clarence A. Jackson of the gross income tax division said ‘““Several thousand” persons would be affected by the new ruling, but asserted he was unable to estimate closely the number. “ Principal groups to be affected it was said are: < Persons living in Indiana who have received income from employment in other states; Persons living in Indiana who have received dividends from stocks of out of-state corporations, or interest from warrants, bonds, notes, judgments and other interest bearing securitieg of out-of-state companies or persons; Persons who have sold intangibles such ag stocks, bonds and notes, if the lega] situs of the property is in Indiana, even though the sale is made outside the state. It was asserted that the mere fact that an incangible ig locaed out-of-state will not determine its legal situs as out-of-state; Persons who have sold or received renals from tangible personal property in other states; Persons receiving alimony paid by residents of this state or other states, regardlesg: of whether the alimony wag awarded by Indiana courts or courtg in other states; Persong receiving money from out-of-state insurance companies in the insurance money received would be taxable when received from an Indiana company, Insurance companies, which will he required to report for taxation all premium income received from outside the state which would be taxable if received from within the state. An exception in the regulation is that receipts from real estate. and businesses whose legal situs and location ig in other states will not be taxable. The new requirement for repurting income received from sources entirely outside the state is based on a decision of the Indiana supreme court in the case of J. Harry Miles, gross income tax division legal officials said. Plaintiffs were denied a rehearing on the case late in November.
