Sales Tax Being Collected James O. Mathis, commissioner of revenue, announced today that in excess of $3,000,000 in extra sales tax revenue has been collected by the department in the ten months that a new computer system for delinquent sales tax has been in operation. Under the new system put into effect last November when the Department of Revenue was authorized to have its own computer system, delinquent sales tax is determined by the computer and field assignments are printed out and mailed to the Sales Tax Division’s thirty-eight investigators who personally call on the taxpayers and collect the delinquent sales tax. Mathis said that in the three months of July, August, and September, a total of $826,906.98 had been collected from the program, thus helping to ease the State’s financial crisis. The current rate of collection is approximately $300,000 per month, at a cost of less than $25,000 per month for salaries and travel of the field investigators. This is money, Mathis said, that the state simply would never see if it were not for the capability of the computer to search out delinquencies and the dedication of the field investigators in* collecting the funds. Field investigators call on delinquent taxpayers only after the taxpayer has ignored notices mailed to them.

Shearer Facts . .. By CARL SHEARER It’s a fact... that no one can go through life without encountering a time of adversity* or affliction. But, the very thing Satan throws in our path to break us may be made the stepping stone to higher experience. Sometimes people ask, “Why did this happen to me?” If we examine many of our troubles we would be surprised to find our own name stamped on them as the manufacturer. When trouble comes, turn care into prayer. When you try to carry your burdens without God’s help you disappoint Him. We invite you to the Milford Christian Church. We care!
