(AP.) --An increase of more than 1100, 000.000 in Income tax collection for the third quarter over the same period last year, was re-4 ported today by the treasury which' said the collections amounted to $536,212,000. This was offset, however, by a drop of 190,000.000 in miscel laneous tax receipts which result ed from the repeal of the capital stock levy. These taxes netted i 2162,000,000 for the period. ' The prospective treasury sur plus continued to grow, however, with customs collections amount ing to $156,000,000 for the Quar ter, an increase of more than $11, 000.000 over last year.
