Buckley, also of Providence, narrowly escaped serious injury about 9.45 o'clock Wednesday night, when the Peerless touring car in which they were riding left the road and crashed into the heavy iron fence at the former Libby property at the foot of Broadway hill. According to the story they told the police, Mr. Buckley, who was driving the car, was on his way down Brosdway. As the machine approached the intergection of Broadway and Willow street, another machine, coming up Willow street, ap- peared.

The brakes locked, he claims, the car skidded, left the road, piled up over the curbing across the side- walk and crashcd head-on into the iron fence, coming to a stop on the lawn. A heavy stone post was broken off at the base and a large section of the iron fence was smashed into a seore of picces.

Married persons required to make a return on Form 1040—ihoso whose net income was $5,000 or less— are allowed an exemption of $2,500. The exemption for married persons wncss net income was in excess of $5,000 is $2.¢00 The exemption for single persons is $1,000. Also, whether married or single, the taxpayer is allowed a credit of $400 for each person dependent upon him fer chiéf support if such perton is under 18 years of age or ineapable of self support because mentally 6r physically defective. ‘The requirement to file a return is plac- ed upon every married person whose net income for 1922 was $2,000 or more or whose gross income was $5,000 or more and upon every single person whose et income was $1,000 or more, or whose gross income was $5,000 or more. The fact that by reason of the exemptions and credits, a person’s income is not taxanh.e, does not nullify the requirement to file & returngif the income equals or excceds these tpecified amqunts, Net income, up- on which the tax is assessed is gross income less certain deductions for bus- Iness expenses, bad debts, losses, con- tributions, etc., provision for which is made on the forms.
