CHANGE IN TAX LAW' FILING DATE URGED Assessor Advises That Pay- ments and Returns Both Be Required in May. Calling \Quenuon to the fact that | many Washingfontans are ont df the eity during July, when personal -taxl. returns must be filed under existing law, District Assessor William P. Richards sterday afternoon recom mended to Commissioner- Rudoiph that the law be changed to parmit the sub- mission of these returns in May. This change has been proposed in previous years and a bill was prepared at the last session of Congress to bring it about, but did not get through the legislative mill before adjournment. In all probability Commissioner Rudolph will have it reintroduced at the com ing session. Mr. Richards points out in his an- nual report that taxes are payable in May. Hence, a citizen could make one trip to the District Building in that month to pay the tax for one vear and file his return for the next vear, instead of having to make a sec- ond visit in July merely to submit a statement of his personal property..
