He read a record of one driver who had been hauled up about 50 miles on a number of charges, pa¥ing nearly $1,000 in fines and never having spent a single day in jail. Under the new where past records may be gone n this sort of offender. At the con- clusion of his remarks he asked all of the hundred and more present to in- dicate if they favored the revocation of permits after the commission of a serious offense and while awaiting jury trial. The response was unani- mous. G, P. Werner, chairman of the parks and playgrounds committee, presented ing the establishment of playgrounds in four sections of the association’s territory. He urged the association to make a plea for the location of a sta- dium in the Eastern Branch parkway.

A new opening for a thrust at the present tax law was discovered yes- terday on the Democratic side of the Senate. When the House sent over with its approval a bill to exempt American Legion members from taxes on their passage to Paris this Summer, Senator King, Democrat, Utah, offered a sub- stitute which would repeal outright all taxes on passage tickets, admission tickets and dues. The Senator hopes to get the proposal up for considera- tion later. Income Tax Problems Simplified for All No. 23. Business property kept in repair may be the subject of a depreciation allowance. The allowance for depre- ition s “intended to cover the estl- mated lessening in value of the orig- inal property, due to the wear and decay, étc., which, in time will require the abandonment or replace- ment of the property, in spite of ordi- nary current repairs. The cost of in- cidental repairs, which neither mate- rially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life, may be deducted as a business expense, provided the plant or property account is not increased by the amount of such expenditures. 1f, however, the repairs are of such kind as to make good the depreciation, for example, a new floor or a new roof, the cost is not deductible. The amount expended by a taxpayer dur- ing the taxable year for improve- ments, replacements, or renewals of a permanent nature is a capital expendi- ture, and may not be deducted from h income for such taxable year. se amount so expended should be charged directly to the property ac- count or to a depreciation reserve ac- count, according to how depreciation charges are treated in the taxpayer's hooks of account. A pro rata por- tion thereof may be deducted s de- preciation each year of the life eof such improvements. Deductions for depreciation must be made as a separate item of the re- turn, and must be explained by show- ing separately each class of property, its cost (fair market value as of March 1, 1913, if acquired prior to that date), depreciation charged off for the tax- able , and total depreciation charged off for all taxable years.
