We're issued under the regulation OF pub

Members Of the committee explained
that the New York traction men were
really complaining against the corpora
ton tax. which was merely rewritten into
the present bill and which was already
on the statute books. The representatives
OF the Interborough and the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit left brief suggesting sew
eral amendments. They explained that
the InterDorough is capitalized at S5Ooo.oc
and has issued Sl7O.000,O0O Of bonds for the
construction OF the subways.
Using the issue OF 100000 In bonds
Of the marlborough on capitalization
of S}j 10000. the traction representatives
argue that this does not represent water
and that the city OF New York will lose
money when II comes TO share the profits
II the Underwood bill is unchanged. The
brief continues:
II all the 100000 bonds were
issued and outstanding in any one year
the practical result would be that IN
calculating the income tax the following
year the company would be entitled 10
deduct from its gross income, as interest
on bonded debt only the sum OF $1,000.
that being per cent OF its bonded In
dehtedness 10 an amount not In excess Of
its issued capital stock.
During the same year it would have TO
pay as interest on the bonded debt the
sum Of $4,000 so that under this art-
fetal scheme the taxable net income OF
the company would be al least $500"
larger than II actually was. The present
bin would compel 1t 10 pay tax Of
So. 800 on an asset which does not exist
Practically the same situation exists with
respect to the 3. Il. T
The city officials are anxious TO deter
mine the exact extent OF the effect OF the
income tax upon the contracts for the
dual transit system Controller Prender-
CAST has members OF his staff looking
into the matter. and report on the sub
ject will be ready soon
The Interborough figures its net prohts
FOR the first year OF operation Of It's en-
larged subway system at 100000. One
per cent of that. if taken by the federal
government would mean $1,000
