Den. Sir - on desire my opinion on tile !,
facts Indicated in the following extract from
your letter 10 me just received.
Take the case of y lawyer. Suppose hisr
gross annual receipts are $4,000, sandin
realizing this sum from his profession he
encounters the following items Of expense
l. For hire OF clerk. aa go (, $500, i
Q. Travelling expenses to, and hotel
bin at courts. q, faas = sasss 3 400. lv'
3. Material er: paper,s ink, postage, q

4. Support ol his family. a.aa 80 soc. Y.
l desire to know upon what sum as in-g
come he would be liable to be taxed under
the present Revenue law"
On the foregoing statement | think it,
clear. 1st That the lawyer can deduct from
his gross income the hire of his. clerk. 3D.
He can deduct travelling bills. and such ex-
penses at court us do not constitute a part of
his regular cost OF living that regular cost
of living which must be incurred by the
lawyer whether at home or off at court, is
estimated iu the, family expenses of not
more than$ ST 900, and should not be counted
twice. 3D. Material of paper ink, postage;
&C., hire of servant employed in waiting in
lawyers Office. 4th. The lawyer besides the
above is allowed 81 ,000'' family expenses"S
provided he expends that much. Some law
yers live entirely at Hotels. Of course such
must estimate their Hotel bills under this
81 900, not in addition, and in all cases only x
such Hotel expenses as are above the expen-.
ses of living at home should be estimated in
addition to the $1,000 ''famiIy expenses"
