Nl da; Moon Sets, 25.000 Machine Guns. By order ot Judge Edwin S. Thomas of the United States district court, the plant of the Hopkins & Allen Arms ‘company was sold at public auction at 'the company’s office on Franklin street at 2.30 o'clock Wed- nesday afternoon by Edwin W. Hig- gins, one of the three receivers of the fongern. T plant was sold to James A. Wright of New York for $65,000, the purchase being made for the Mar- lin-Rockwell Arms company ef New Haven, which concern assumes all in- cumbrances on the property amount- ing_to about $4,000,000. The sale of the H. & A. plant to the’ Marlin-Rockwell 'Arms company means greatly increased prosperity for Norwich. It is said cn good author- ity that the New Havens arms concern will, in_ the near future, erect new buildings a3 an addition to the pre: ent plant, the new construction to cost from’ $800,000 to $1,000,000. ~The Marlin people have a .. S. govern- ment contract for 25,000 Browntng machine guns and it is said that these 25,000 machine guns will be built in this city at the former H. & A. plant. The new owners of the plant will complete the rifle contract made with the. Belgian government. The Hop- kins_& Allen people contracted with the Belglan government to build 150,- 000 rifies at $27 a rifie and it was this low price that got the H. & A. concern into financial difficulties. The price set by the Marlin people and accepted by the Belgian government s $42.50 a rifle for the remainder of the contract. The H. & A. concern deliv ered, but 11,000 rifles on the contract of $50,000. A total of 1,200 employes, men and women, are now at work in the plant and this number is to be greatly in- ion Dollar ‘Addition—Have Government Contract for CHANGES H —_— creased within a short time.

In New Haven Tuesday a hearing on the pe- tition of the minority stockholders -for a further postponement of the sale of the plant was held before Judge Thomas and was continued until Wed- nesday morning. A settlement of the mijtter was reached, however, between the minority stockhclders and the H. & A. interests and the sale took place at the appointed time.

The suit is one of two brought by the Maine company against the New London concern, one being brought in the district court for Maine and the other in the district court for this section.

Attorney General George E. Hin- an gave an opinion recently to State hway ~ Commissioner Charles J. Eennett with regard to the duty of the highway department in the kind cf “ditches and culverts that shall be provided by the department. His opinion is that the state is required to maintain _only such ditches and culverts as will adequately care for the surface and percolating _waters upon or under the highways, without reference to the drainage of adjoining lands. Mr. Bennett's request was for an opinion as to whether these ditches and culverts must be of sufficient ca- pacity to carry, not only the road drainage, but drainage from land on =ither side. Mr. Hinman’s unter- standing of the section of the high- way which was under discussion was that it is situated on low land, cov- c¢red as to both the highway and ad- Joining premises by overflow from a stream in time of freshet, that the adjoining land is wet and swampy, that the existing ditches and culverts sufficlently drain the highway, but that the properiy owners here want 0 have their property relieved from surface and percolating water. The attorney general’s opinion follows: “You ask my opinion as to the duty of your department to provide ditches and culverts, upon state highways, of sufficient capacity to carry not only e road drainage, but drainage from nd on either side. 5 _“F_understand that the section of highway to which vour inquiry spe- cially relates is situated on low land, covered as to both the highway and edjoining premises by overflow from a stream In time of freshet, that said adjoining land is wet and swampy, that the existing highway ditches and culverts sufficiently drain the high- way, but that owners of adfoining property desire that said ditches and culverts be enlarged so as fo relleve their property, in some degree, from surface and percolating waters. “It may he remarked, in passing, sustained severe injuries to her fete|liat under our decisions the tempor- and mouth.

' A list of taxes showing just what every corporation and individual will be re- quired to pay 's in process of prepara- tion, and explanations will be made of certain phases of the new law that are difficult of understanding. Collector Wiilliam H. Ed: ‘Wall street district is' preparing in- formation of genmeral value relating to the tax and says that the law requires all persons making payments to others of $800 or over shall report the same to the collector of the district where they are located. This will enable the government to check up all those who do not pay their debts to the govern- fment. It will be impossible, it is ex- plained, for the différent collectors to forward blanks te taxpayers at lars who are to filg returns, as the lic today in the various offices contain only names of the persons who re- ceived $3,000 a year or more during 1916. It will therefore be the duty ‘of the fexpayer to obtain blanks at the of- iices of the internal revenue where he resides or his principal place of busi- ness ‘at least by the latter part of De- cember. Collectors are already antici- pating a tremendous number of forms required by the thousands of new tax- rayers. _The collector makes the fol- lowing explanations to those who have not hitherto been required to make re- turns: A-single person earning $1,000 a year will not be required to pay a tax, but will be required to file a return; that is, you must obtain a form and Al it out and file it with the collector.

Married persons who are separated are. only_entitled to, under the new law, the $1,000 exemption. the same as 2 single person, and $3,000 exemption under the old law. In addition to the above, the war income tax, the income tax under the act of Sept. 8; 1916, will be levied. The new war income tax and the income tax under the act of Sept. 8, 1916, should be figured separately. For the benefit of taxpayers I have taken into consideration the follow- ing questions ssked of this office, and the answers may be helpful: —What tax would a single person be required to pay receiving an income of $1.730 a year? A.—The exemption would be allowed $1,000, and there would be a 2 per cent. tax on $750, namély $15. However, it the income exceeded $3,000 there would be an ad- ditional Imcome tax of 2 per cent. on an_amount in escess of $3,000. Q. —What tax would a married per- son be required to pay receiving an income of $3,000 a year? A.—There would be an exemption allowed of $2, 000 anda tax of 2 per cent. levied on the additional $1,000, or $20. However, i the income exceeded $4,000 there would be an additional income tax of 2 per cent. on an amount in extess of $1,000. —When does the income tax law 50 into effect? When fs the tax pay- able? A—The law is in effect as of Jan. 1. 1917, and returns should be filed for income received during _the calendar year of 1917, the returns be- ine required to be filed on_or before March 1, 1818. and the tax paid on or before June 15, 1918, for the year 117. Q—Are losses In securities deduct- ible under the law? A.—Losses in- curred in trade are proper deductions. However, any transactions entered into for profit but not connected with trade or business, the losses actually sus- tained may only be charged off to an amount not exceeding the profits de- rived Huring the vear. Q—What are the penalties imposed Dby the law for failure to file return within_the required time? A —Fifty per cent. additional tax and a speci- fic_penalty of from $20 to $1,000. Collector Edwards pointed out that rio return can be made to the govern- ment except the one furnished by the internal revenue department. . This form should be filled out at the tax- paver's leisure. sworn to by a nofficer with a seal. The return should show the_ income received during -the year 1917, following instructions printed on the form. Playing Card Tax. The internal revenue bureau has promulgated regulations in regard to the tax imposed by the new revenue law on playing cards. Every pack must pay a tax of 5 cents, in addition to the tax of 2 cents imposed by the revenue law of 1916. The new réguvi- tions follow: Taxation of Di lends. Dividends paid from amounts set aside by corporations to cover depre- ciation and depletion are held by the internal revenue bureau to be taxable for the purposes of the income tax. The decision eays: Referring to the practice of certain corporations of declaring dividends out of reserve set aside to meet deprecia- tion and depletion of property, and of advising stockholders that such divi- dends represent a distribution of cap- ital .assets. your attention is directed te the ruling made herein as follows: All such dividends received by stock. holders declared out of such reserves, accumulated subsequent to March 1, 1913, constitute income to the stock- Polder. under the act of Sept. 3, 1916, and must be accounted for n returns of net income.
