has
countries to ease the problem
of double taxation. A U. S. cit-
izen may also, in many cases,

To accomodate more pro-
ducts, all of the new stores
will be larger in size, averag-
ing 20 000 to 23,000 square fleet
of space.
Another step in the modern-
ization program U individual
designing of the stores to adapt
te the neighborhoods in which
they are being built, a distinct
change from the universal
style or “trademark" store ex-
terior which has been used in
the past.
In addition to the stores un-
der construction, 12 major re-
modeling * projects, totaling
more than $3,500,000 .dollars are
being started. Other plans in-
clude: expansion of Dallas Di-
vision Headquarters, $500,000;
expansion of warehouse facili-
ties, $2,785,000; and ultra-
modern new Milk and leg
Cream Plant, $4,500,000; and
expansion of plant operations
in Denison, Texas $304,000. AU
of the additional expansions arg
being made to offer better ger-
vice and keep pace with needs
created by the'new facilities.
The $30,900,000 dollar ex-
penditure is the first phase of
a major growth program sched-
uled by Safeway over a 3-yepr
period. “The store customer
of today,” Justice said, 'Ha
better informed, more quality- ..
conscious and more sophisti-
cated in Jier tastes than ever i
before, and wants full value in ;
both product and in service. '
Safeway, as always, will do ,
everything possible to antici-
pate these requirements and
meet them fully.”
Vie*, te taxpayers' Th*
column answers question*
most frequently asked by tax-
payer*.
IRS generally has
from the due date
to make whatever
checks might be necessary to
assure that income and ex
pense it|ns are accurately re-
ported and .to-assess additional
taxes For this reason it is ad-
visable to keep tax records
al least three years.
It usually takes about
weeks to process a return call-
ing for a refund In that time
it is gnly possible to make sure
the return is complete, the
arithmetic is accurate and that
the taxpayer is not filing a du-
plicate refund claim or has an
outstanding tax liability.
