time .the deliveries were made ‘Mul-
vihill claims he is entitled to pay
for his work.

.First Quarter of Corporate
and Income' Tax Returns
Due March 13
uni «militia w
muse {JilliEIiEASE
Slashing of Wage Scales by
local Manufacturers Will
Have Big Efiect on In-
come Tax Returns
Corporate and ' individual income
tax returns in Norwalk fo; the first
quarter duo on March 13. will show
a decrease over last pear's figures be—
tween 25 and 33 1-3 per cent.- This
statement has been issued by Inter-
nal Revenue Agent J. F. Kicrnan of
the New Haven division who succeed-
ed T. H. McDanell. The .same con-
ditions exist all over the division.
The reason for the reductio'n ex-
pected to be realized on income taxes
for the first ‘quarter according to
Agent Kelrnan is the industrial de-
pression which is being .felt all over
the country and particularly in' those
parts: By spring. Mr. Kiernan be-
lieves there will be a general relief in
Industrial conditions. ' '
The slashing of the wage scale in
the local manufacturing plants for the
past few months will considerably re-
duce the .mount of .lncome tax paid
by residents of Norwallt. While a
number of factories have hot Vet
slashed wages. the majority have done
so making a. cut of between 15 and 25
per cent. One or two factories abol-
.iahed the “war” bonus which was
paid during wax-dimes in order to re-
tain help. ,
’ Income blanks are expected to ar-
rive in this city during the next week.
The first installment of the income
tax is due on March 13. It is prob-
able that one or more agents will be
stationed at the city hall to handle
the local situation with reference to
the filing of income tax blanks.
