V. L, Gilbreath, income tax deputy, said delinquent taxpayers will be given 10 days in which to make the returns after which all unpaid bal- ances will be turned over to county sheriffs for collection. The difficulty of collecting unpaid balances arises from the fact'the 1935 law was referred at a general election in June of that year, and taxpayers contend that exempted them from making the balance of the payments, Gilbreath said. Taxpayers established around $40,- 000 tax lability on March 15, 1935, by making first quarterly payments, Gil- breath declared, adding that close to $21,000 of this amount already has been collected. Under the state law, sheriffs are authorized to distrain sufficient prop- erty tax, plus the penalty at the rate of 1 per cent per month from the due date and costs of collection. A recent ruling of the attorney general's office held the tax commis- sioner is directly the collector of in- come taxes. Gilbreath said there ap- peared to be some question as to whether this power was vested with the tax commissioner or the state treasurer. | $32,256 in PWA Funds “We'll get the agreement, no mat- ter nat it costs or what it takes,” ‘Martin told the convention in his report late Tuesday as he Ford “get ready” to put label on his cars “ saris ty contiaue, making and een Admitting he was here to smooth inner differences as John L.
