Columbia, March 13, 1915. Mi. J. W. Thompson, County Auditor, ILaurens, S. C. Dear Sir: TPho State Tax Commission of the State of South Carolina has sent me' the following communication relaotive to the enforcement of the Income Tax Laaw: "The time for making returns under the income tax law of this state ex pired on the 201h of February last, and a viery large number of persons liable to the payment of the tax omuittCd to make such returns within the tine limited. ".Tie neglect to make the returns inl time hay have beon cauLlsed in part by nil erroneou-- impression that the returns and payment of the income tax, to the Federal Government relieved these tax-payers from paying the in come tax imposed b-- t. laws of this State. "The fallur0 to make returens with in time have been so general and wide spread that we think further oppor tuulty should be allowed such per sons to iake thes0 returns before the penlalties provided by law.are imposed upol thei." In order, thierefore, to save such 'per sons who will now come forward and make the proper returns, I, Carlton W. Sawyer, under, and by virtue of power conferred 11on the Comptroller General, with the aipproval of the Gov ernor, in Section 767 of Volume 1, Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1912, (1o hereby etxend the time for the mak ing of' returns ; ad assessiment of in come taxes ' ithout penalty until the fist day of July, A. 1). 1915.
