$10,000,000 BOND ISSUEIS OPPOSED Piney Branch szens Asso- ciation Warns of Danger of Heavy Taxation. Opposition to the proposed $10,000.- 000 bond issue of the District for the purchase of available park, school and playground sites was voiced in reso- lutions adopted by the Piney Branch Citizens’ Association, meeting in Ham line M.

He deplored his action, declaring the Government is continually making the District's burden greater through acquisition of new property which is automatically withdrawn from taxation, but which entails additional support from the city through increased fire and police protection. Action of the Parent-Teacher As- &ociation in contributing to the de- feat of a provision for 74 additional teachers for the 1928 estimates was Jauded by Mr. Cameron, who said that he was opposed to the wasteful and extravagant use of the funds provided for the schools. He said it is folly tc provide funds for a school board that stamp for the head The work of Mrs. Banner- man in helping to defeat this measure was commended, and it was voted to invite her to address the a: ation. Score Tree Mutilation. Indignation was expressed over the action of employes of the Washington Rapid Transit Co. in cutting off branches of trees along the bus routes and the corporation counsel will be urged to prosecute the case to the Jimit. The Commissioners will be urged to include in the next estimates an item for the opening of the Seven teenth street entrance to Rock Creek Park. It was also voted to request the owners of a new church to be erected at Sixteenth and Varnum streets to maintain the existing build- ing line of the street. The executive committee was instructed to arrange for a community reception to thr District Commissioners in the near future. Ross Farrar sang tenor solos. .“Pfissdent Edgar B. Henderson pre- ded.

Modern developments in tran tation facilities are changing the customs of King Neptune’ When sailing ships and cross the Equator, there is plenty of time for passengers and crews to ““pay their respects” to the old monarch of the sea. But airplanes move faster, | much faster, and ancient courtesies | naturally are slighted as they whiz long but narrow That's what happened when Maj. Herbert A. Dargue led his fleet of ¢ planes across the Equator r thelr pan-American good- will flight. Obviously something should | be done about it, although the flvers aren’t due back at Bolling Field until May, plans already are being made to do something appropriate to relieve them of the stigma of having passed through an_ alien realm without ob- serving its immigration laws. Since Neptune himself cannot come to Bolling Field for the ceremony, a high ambassador will be appointed to represent him. He will be designated Prince Mercury, mythology’s most fa- mous aviator, who operated a regu- lar service between Parnassus and Olympus, and will be authorized to pass upon the modern flyers' creden- tials. 1f these are satisfactory, he| will be able to declare them in good | standing as proper equatorial travelers. Income Tax Problems Simplified for All No. 29. Several salient facts are to be re- membered by taxpayers in cRiming deductions for taxes. Taxes on per- sonal property and real estate, whether business or residential, are deductible. So-called taxes assessed against local benefits, such as street paving or drainage, which tend to in- crease the value of the property as- sessed, are not deductible, since they are considered as constituting the cost of a permanent improvement. The Federal income tax may not be deducted. However, income taxes im posed upon the income of individua! by States may be deducted by an ind vidual on his Federal income tax re turn. The Federal estate tax is deductibic from the gross income of the estate of a decedent in process of administra- tion in ascertaining net income of the estate subject to the tax. Taxes are deductible as such only by the persons upon whom they are imposed. Thus, the excise taxes im- posed upon the sales by manufacturers of automobile chassis and bodles and motor cycles are not deductible by the purchaser, even though such taxes are billed to him as separate items. Customs duties paid by a person on articles imported for his own use are deductible. Import or tariff duties paid in the operation of a business are deductible as taxes, provided they are not added to or made a part of the ex- the merchandise with respect to which they are paid. Admission taxes are deductible, but the taxpayer must show that account has been kept of the amount paid dur- ing the year. Guesswork will not be accepted. Under the revenue act of 1926, the admission tax applies only to admissions in excess of 75 cents, while under the 1924 act it applied to admin- Istrations in excess o{ 50 cents.
