LIQUOR DEALERS CALLED Must Appear Before Tax Commission- er and Explain Why They Did Not Make Returns Required by Law.

While attually the corporations may have ceased to do business with the coming of prohibi- tion, the state has no record of the corporate demise and such being the case, these corporations have the same status in the tax commissioner's office as have the corporations whose business activity is readily apparent. Just how many former liquor sell- ing corporations are included in the list of 208 negligent ones, Mr. Blodgett did not sa today. He has ar- ranged a schedule of hearings for such corporations and he has noti- fied each one by letter of its neglect to comply with the law, and has stated that continued disregard of the state requirements would be followed by the tax commissioner’s appeal to the superior court for an order to per- mit the commissioner to examine the books of the delinquent corporation.
