Ross G. Rile has been declared elected to the post of supervisor in Whitpain Township for another term by the Montgomery County Board of Elections.
The decision by the election board gives Rile three votes over B. Frank Cassel who contended Rile's apparent election as super- j visor in the township. Rile is as-1 sorted to have 328 votes to Cassel's 325.
Howevex-, Wellington H. Rosen- j ben-y, Jr., counsel for Cassel, has ' announced that he will file excep- i tions with the Montgomery County j Courts to the finding of the elec-1 tion board. He said that the fight may eventually be carried to the appellate courts.
Rile, who was a township sup¬ ervisor for twenty-flve years, lost the primary election to Cassel in September. He conducted a stick¬ er campaign in November and it was this campaign that caused the confusion in the results of the election. Some of the votes for Rile were written in and many of the spellings were incorrect.
Cassel obtained a recount of the
votes turned in    by the precinct

TAX DEPUTIES HELP PUBLIC FILE RETURNS
All income tax returns for 1941 must be flled not later than midnight on March 16, 1942 and taxpayers who failed to file their returns early are now en¬ countering large crowds, being forced to stand in line at the various offices throughout the district.
Collector of Internal Revenue Walter J. Rothensies expres.sed the fear that congestion would bcome more acute as the dead line hour approached and strongly urged that all tax¬ payers file their returns as pX'omptly as possible and not wait until the last day.
The collector is of the opinion that the number of returns that will be filed this year will greatly exceed the returns of any previous year. This means that the congestion during the remaining filing days will be greater than any othex' year.
Strenuous work will be' re¬ quired of all internal revenue offices, but Collector Rothensies assigned the largest force ever brought together lo render' as¬ sistance to taxpayers and every available person in the ser¬ vice is now at the disposal of the public.
At all the regular dfliceslad- ditional oflicers have been sta¬ tioned and supplementing these, deputies will be placed at other points for the last six days of the filing period, March 10 to March   16,  1942.
At Ambler deputies will be at the Ambler Trust Company on March 12 and 13 and al the Ambler National Bank on March 14 and 16.
