A news clipping from the Utica, NY Observer-Dispatch, Telephones shrilled constantly, and mountains of mail piled up in State and Federal tax offices as the deadline for the filing 1966 returns approached today. Staff members at the State Tax Office opened mail this morning before the onslaught of phone calls began. Because all returns must be postmarked before midnight tonight, those who haven't completed their returns yet are hastily doing so. John R. Smallwood at the Federal office said that his office was "flooded with calls," and the switchboard was "lit up like a Christmas tree." Edwin T. Smith at the State Tax Office described activity as "pretty good for a last day," compared with other years.
