WILL NOT EXTEND TIME. t Governor Ansel Thinks the People 1 -do not Need Postponement of Time to Pay Taxes. Gov. Ansel -will not extend the time i for the payment of taxes, says a e Columbia dispatch to the Greenville a News. The governor after consulta tion today with Comptroller General' Jones came to the conclusion that t there is no necessity for the exten sion, since the penalty for the first month is very light, only one per I cent, and since also the state needs n money badly at this time to meet its li own obligations. If the general as- 2 sembly considers that any assistance to the taxpayers is needed, it can be t: rendered by the remission of the o:re J per cent penalty for the month of N, January. which will amount to the f extension of the time for that period. e Comptroller General Jones stated on s Monday that he saw no necessity for h any extension and that the penalty a had been made light by the general C assembly in order that there might be f no demand for such action. I The tax money was coming in more freely to the offices of thestate 0 treasurer on Monday. The morning c mail brought remittances to the a amount of $40,000. Saturday about $80,000 was sent in. making $120,000 within the last two business days. But this is not enough, and the state is still hard up. The state is obliged T to pay- out $240.000 tomorrow and next day and it was seen last week that there would not be funds on hand to meet these obligations. Ae- A cordingly State Treasurer Jennings X was called back from his Christmas trip to his old home in Fairfield and o the governor decided that it would be g well to renew a note for $50,000, s which was done. The note was ex- c: tended for 20 days, with the pri- t) vi}ege of furthter extension if need- t] ed. The state will within a few n days after the first day of the year s have sufficient money to meet all its tl obligations, but as the tax remit- t1 tances have been slow it was impos- b sible to get the money to New York B in time to meet the notes due on the n 31st of this month. On the first of January there is ti about $140,000 interest due and there a were notes for $100,00 due on the g 31st of December, making obligations ti to the amount of $240,000 due the ix next two days, in addition to cur- n Tent expenses of the government.
