Failure to Receive Form Does Not Relieve One of Liability to Make Return. WASHINGTON, Feb, 21.—Tax return forms for incomes of less than $5,000 are being mailed by revenue collectors | to all who filed returns within this| amount last year. This plan was adopted ag a convenience to taxpayers who will be relieved of the necessity of | applying to the district collector or a bank for a copy of the return fotm. Failure to receive a blank does not relieve a person of lability to make a return, however, and collectors are in structed to furnish blanks on appli- cation, regardless of the fact that they will be mailed. ersons who will file a return for the first time must apply to collectors or a bank for the blank. Similar procedure will be followed in Gistribution of forms for incomes of more than $5,000, and for corporation income reports. ‘These forma are not yet availa! —_— —- REV. OTIS T. BARNES DEAD.

There is a bill now before tho Legislature to remove any bar- rier the City Charter may contain against building a Staten Island sub- way. ‘The meeting was attended by more than a hundred of the leading citl- zens of the island. Several of the committee advanced arguments in favor of a subway under the Narrows to Brooklyn, there hooking up with the Fourth Avenue Subway. This was part of the original rapid transit plan and has been agitated for years. But when it came to a vote the com- mittee unanimously ratified the fol- lowing resolution submitted by its Executive Committe “Resolved, that this committee rec- ommends to the Staten Island Sub- way Committee that urgent request be made to the Board of Estimate} and Apportionment for a direct subs way from Manhattan to and through Staten Island.” Ringing speeches showing the in- | Justice of the present | tion difficulties of the island and the | | need for a tube both for the con- | | transporta- | venience of the residents there and | for the beneficial development of the whole city were made at the meet- ing. Louls L. Tribus, the committee, presided. One of the principal pleas for a direct-route subway was made by Charles Roome Parmele, Chairman of | the Co-operation Committee, and one chairman of of the leaders in the movement, “1 first in favor of the Bay Ridge route.” he declared, “but after | an investigation T am convinced that 4 subway to Manhattan is what we jneed. ‘The Brooklyn route would be r, and would involve the ins convenience of transferring.
