Internal Revenue Decision.


The Commissioner of Internal Revenue yes
terday rendered an important decision upon
deductions from income. He decides that
all expenses for insurance upon property and
all actual losses in business may be deducted
from the gross income of the year butloss
sustained after December 81, 1865, cannot
reduce the income for the year. Losses in
CURED in the prosecution of one kind ofbusi-
ness may be deducted from gains in another,
but not from those portions of income deriv-
ed from fixed investments, such as bonds,
mortgages, rents and the like. He instructs
assessors to be careful not to allow the deduc-
ton of amounts claimed to have been lost in
business, when in reality they should be
regarded as investments or expenditures, as
when merchants expend money in farming
or gardening for recreation or adornment
rather than pecuniary profit. Wash. iStqr.
