HANFORD Dr. W. J. Hanford, who removed to California from this city a number of Yyears ago, has had an ofl well in the Santa Ana valley, California, named af- ter him and the promise of big results from the drilling of the well is made, The new well\is the first to be drilled by the Fazio Development Co., of which Dr. Hanford js called the geologist and COLLECTOR EATON INSTRUCTS ON NEW m\!lAL TAXE! Robert O. Eaton, internal revenue col- lector for Connecticut, has issued following statement on the tax laws: “Enactment. of new revenue legisla- tion *has hrought to the offices of col lectors of internal revenue a flood of in- quiries regarding various provisions. The revenue act of 1921 became effective No- vember 23, 1¢21, ‘unless otherwise pro- videg for.’ “To ayoid error in the preparation of their returns and later difficulties’ with the bureau of internal revenue, taxpay- ers are advisea to carefully note . the changes =nd when they become effec- tive. : . “The excsss profits tax is repealed as of January 1, 1922. The rates for 1921 are unchanged. 24 _“The surtax rates for the calendar year 1921 are unchanged, the range from year 1921 are unchanged, amd range from 1 per'cent. on the amount of net income between $5,000 and $6,000 to 65 per cent., on the amount of net. income in excess of $1,000,000. For the cal- endar year 1912 thé surtax rates range from 1 per cent. on the amount of net' income between $6,000 and $70,000 to 50 per cent. on the amount by.which the net income exceeds $200,000. “The exemytion allowed for a depend- ent is increased from $200 to $400. Mar- rled persons Jiving with husbands or wife and heads of families are allowed a per- sonal exemotion of $2,500 (instead of $2,000) uni2ss the net income is in ex- cess of $3,000, in which case the per- sonal exemption is only $2,000. The act provides-that in no case shall the reduc- tion of the personal exemption from $2,- 500 to $2,000 operate to increase the tax which would be payable if the exemp- tion were $2,500 by more than the amound of *he net income In excess of $5,000. This is to overcome the dispar- ity in the case of twe taxpavers, one of whom is just within the lower $2,000 ex- emption and the other just within the higher $2,500 exemption. “Single persons, and married persons not living with husband or wife, are al- lowed an oxemption of $1,000. Non-res- ident aliens 2re allowed a_single per- sonal exemotion of $1,000.

After that date such corporations are to be faxed in the same mammer as other corporations. “The inceme tax on corporations for the calendar year 1922 and thereafter is Increased rom 10 to 1214 per cent.

These taxes remain in force until the end of the calendar year 1921. 0 change is made in the tax on ad- misions, excent that after January 1, 1822, there will be no tax where admis- sion i 10 cents or less. Effective Jan- uary ‘1, 1922, the following taxes are also abolished: On musical Instruments, sporting zoods, chewing gum, portable electric fans, thermos bottles, fur ar- ticles, pleasure boats and pleasure ca- noes (unless sold for more than $100), toilet articles, medicines and numerous articles of apparel. “On and after January 1, 1922 the tax on various werks of art is reduced from 10 per cent. to 5 per cent., the tax on candy from 5 per cent. to 3 per cent. and the tax on carpets, rugs, trunks, valises, purses, fans, etc, fro 10 per cent. of sales price in excess of specified amounts 5 per cent. of sales price In excess to 5 of specified amounts. “Tge tax on parcel post packages is elwninated effective JanuarwWl, 1922. “The new act provides that ro taxpay- er shall be subjected to unnecessary ex- aminations or investigations, and only one inspection of his books of accounts shall be made for each taxable year un- less the *axpaver requests otherwise, or the commisstoner notifies the taxpayer in writing that an additional inspection is mecessary. . % “The period for filing returns on the calendar year basis {s from January 1 to March 15, 1922.
