Revenue Office Swamped by Rush in Hartford
Hartford December 15 AP) Colonel Redbert GO. Exton collector of internal revenue for this district said it was impossible to give accurate figures for income tax receipts coming on today the final quarter day for the year. The office is swamped with letters and all that is possible is to open these and care for the contents. The office will extend hours. A year ago the figures were about 37 000 000. Exton believes that corporate income tax receipts will be as large as then and that individual receipts will shrink somewhat. The number of taxpayers year ago was slightly over 140.
