IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT BY COLLECTOR J. T. ROSE Attention is invited to the fact j that under the provisions of Section, 227, of the Revenue Act of 1924, the Commissioner of Internal Reve nue only is authorized to grant ex* tension of time for filing all classes of income tax returns. This authori¬ ty was formerly vested in the Col¬ lector of Internal Revenue for each of the Districts. Any request for an extension of time for filing a re¬ turn should he addressed to the Com¬ missioner of Internal Revenue, Wash¬ ington, D. C., and should embody specifically' the reason for the re¬ quest being made such reason ordi¬ narily being on account of unavoid¬ able absence or illness. Such applica¬ tion should be made before the final filing date, March 15th, otherwise there is no authority of law for granting the extension. A man of weak will i.r.d feeble de¬ sire is foredoomed to failure.
