NEVADA GAZETTE MAY 11 & 12, 1865 241 LARGE DONATIONS TO THE SANITARY COMMITTEE.—Rev. Mr. Chapin informs us that since the Sanitary meeting at Grass Valley on Sunday night the sum of $2,000 has been collected at that place and Allison Ranch, and forwarded to the Treasurer of the Sanitary Commission at San Francisco. The owners of the Allison Ranch mine, anxious to make a patriotic record and divert the odium which has attached to them, came down with $600 in gold coin. Prominent Copperheads of Grass Valley contributed liberally. COUNTY COURT—MAY TERM 1865—HON. A. C. NILES PRESIDING.—This Court met yesterday morning, when the following business was transacted: The People vs. Joseph Jatun [sic]—Indicted for assault with intent to murder (committed upon Josiah Dodge, at Grass Valley). Arraigned, pleaded not guilty, trial set for Thursday, May 18th. William Beale vs. His Creditors.—Sheriff appointed assignee. People vs. Charles Irwin.—Indicted for grand larceny. Tried and submitted to jury. NEW MEAT MARKET.—Charley Grove, an old resident of this city, who has returned to remain permanently after a year’s absence in vain search for a better place, is fitting up a meat market in the room beneath the Gazette office, and will commence business about the first of next week. FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1865 The Income Tax for 1864—New Form of Returns. A New York journal received by the last Panama steamer, remarks that a few copies of the amended form of returns for the Income Tax had been received by the assessors of internal revenue in that city, but no sufficient supply for general distribution among taxpayers. It therefore gives the material points of the blank forms, which set forth a long array of questions requiring answers, and which we reprint here as follows: The detailed statements of the form are comprised under sixteen heads, covering all sources of income or profit for the year ending December 21, 1864. The following questions are to be asked by the assessor: Had your wife any income last year? Did any minor child of yours receive any salary last year? Have you included in this return the income of your wife, and salary received by minor children? Have you any stocks, and what are they? Is your report made on the basis of gold? Have you bought or sold stocks or other property? Have you any United States securities? Do you return the premium on gold paid you as interest on United States securities? Have you kept any book account? Is your income estimated or taken from your book? Have not the expenses, etc., claimed as deductions, already been taken out of the amount reported as profits? Did you estimate any portion of your profits in making your returns for 1983? Was any portion treated as worthless, and if since paid, have you included it in this return? All incomes of 1861 [sic] less than $5,000 are subject to five per cent. tax; over $5,000 ten per cent. The blanks must be filled and returned to the assessor by the Ist of May. Personal service of the blanks is not necessary; the assessor’s duty requiring him only to make public announcement in a newspaper of his county. Deductions are permitted as follows: 1. Exempt by law, $600. All National, State and local taxes paid within the year, (which includes the deduction of the income taxes actually paid in 1864.)
