Collectors’ Offices Besieged by Applicants fur Income Blanks, MUST BE IN BY EXT MONDAY, Officials Swamped with Questions Regarding the New Law TWO DISTRICTS IN THIS CITY. Sullivan Will Have Big Corporations and Grosse the Uptown Milltonaires. Now that it has been decided by the highest Court in the land that the in- come tax is constitutional and that all further chance of postponing its collec- tion has been practically shut off, there 1s every prospect of a tremendous hus- tling during the next few days on the Part of the taxpayers to get in their returns, Only five days more remain in which this can be done, for every return must be in the hands of the collectors in the various districts by April 15, or assess- ments will be made by the officials, and the penalties provided by the law will be imposed. In this city the rush promises to be an exceedingly lively one, for there are only two headquarters in town at which the returns can be flied. ‘The Second District, which includes all the lower part of the city below Twen- ty-sixth street on the west side and Houston street on the east, is the baill- wick of Collector John A, Sullivan, whose office ts 114 au street, and all income tax payers living within those Umits will have to deal with him, The remainder of the city composes the Second Internal Revenue District, the headquarters of which ts at 101 Fourth avenue, in the Germania Savings Bank building, and is under the super- vision of Collector Grosse. Ready for the Rush. At both offices preparations for re- Selving the returns have been going on actively for the last few weeks, ani they are now ready to receive the rush which 1s certain to follow, or at least they think they are. At the office of Collector Sullivan. in Passau street, this morning. taxpayers nto arrive ae early as §.30, and an hour later the little outer room crowded, The deputies and clerks were as busy as bees, and all they could possibly do to answer the flood of Questions which poured’ in upon them rough the grated windows and dis- tribute the biank returns, which are to be filled out and fled by Monday next. eputy Collector ‘Trainer was in eharge at that hour and he was almost hal wi in despal Plied with Questions. “I haven't time to explain everything now,” he would sa) to the anxious uestioners who pli: him for informa- tion, “Here are the returns, go and study them up and you wil. ‘know all out To an “Evening World” reporter he id that the rush for blanks had begun yesterday afternoon, soon after the news 9f the decision of the Supreme Court at ington hud reached the city. “All the big law firms downtown,” he gaid, “began sending in right and left for the blank returns, and we had all we gould de to keep the ‘procession moving verybody was busy, and to-day we expoct it will be more lively than ever, “There are elght deputy collectors in this district, besides a large ¥ of clerks and canvaesers, and it is probable hat this force will have to be Increased. In the uptown district, which covers a much larger territory, the number of men required for the work of collecting the, tax will necessarily be larger.’ “Is there any probabllity that the time for making the returns may be extend- cd?" he Was asked. jo far us I know there is none. The time is absolutely fixed by law for filing returns on April 15, and I do not see how it can be extended except by act of Congress." ‘Accordingly every person or corpor: tion which is lable for the tax will t gpileed to hava hie returns ready, by Monday nex ement will be inade by th the District, and tho penalty prescribed by law ot per cent. additional tax will be im- posed.
