Included in the volume in the library
is a poem on the battle of Newburne
which has the following lines, fair sam
pies of Boyd verse:
The powder blast most icrcelr did
Their boards b"le,v. their pIustaches above:
The whsking balls made all their checks so

Yea, legs and arrnes which in the are did flee

was lazy.
The first of these was whether il was

deduct ground rent The second was to
this effect. Where property owned is
rented is il proper to deduct a rcason-
able allowance for depreciation
To these two questions the Treasury
Department replied;

Realize Law Is Indefinite.

Already the Treasury officials realize
that in many respects the income tax
Law is indefinite. and that they will have
their hands fun in deciding questions
that are bound to arise. There is no
doubt in their minds that many persons
will pay this tax when they rightfully
should not. and that they will have just
claims for refund. Such cases will come
before W f. Andrews, auditor for the
Treasury Department
Mr. Andrews has stated that one Of
the most important of this class of cases
would be involved in the collection OF in
come taxes at the source
"Tt is already apparent said Mr.. An
