000 Fewer Returns
On Taxes Than Last
Year, Says Huntley
With practically all the mail cleared
away today. Collector of Internal Reve
nue Clyde G. Huntley estimated a de
crease of 9000 in the- number of income
tax returns filed this year, compared
with the 1)21 filing. Altogether, some
65,000 people made returns, against 74.
800 last year.
Although Huntley said he is not in
position to revise the early estimate
that the tax paid on Oregon incomes
would not exceed $20,000,000, compared
with $28,000,000 last year, he said the
payment jor me iirsc montn naa oeen
$1,500,000 in excess of the 'same period
last year. This, he explained, was caused
by the collection of large sums In de
linquent taxes in addition to current collections.
