taking away from Baltimore city of
the 20 per cent. of the proceeds OF
motor license charges, which it now
receives. Senator MetZerott said he
was not prepared to say that he ia
vored the latter, but he knew of no
other case in which city was given
part of State taxes.
Senator Williams asked Chairman
Zouck whether there should be all
appropriation for roads construction
at this time, taking into considera-
ton war conditions, and the nation
al needs for labor and materials.
Chairman Zouck said that was up to
the Legislature. Senator Williams
thought the Legislature would be in
fluenced by the Chairman's opinion,
and pressed for an answer. There
upon, the latter said he thought it
might be wise to make an appropria
ton for construction, subject to the
judgment of the Commission as to
the wisdom of using it. He explain
ed that if the appropriation is made
in this session, it will be three sum-
mers before any construction work
can be undertaken.

maintain them, if the counties put
the min order. But 1t seems that
after some of the counties put their
roads in order the Roads Commits
sion refused TO take charge OF them,
because it had no money with which
to maintain them. Seantor Williams,
of Montgomery, said his county had
spent 100000 putting its State-ald
roads in condition, but they had not
been taken over by the commission
for the reason mentioned. Other
county people said the same thing.
Naturally, the county people want an
end put to that condition.
Chairman Zouck, in his speech be-
fore the committees, said that the
business of the commission was not
to tell where the money should come
from, but to say how much was need
ed. The raising of the money and
the determination of the sources, he
said, was the business of the Legis-
lature and the Governor. But he
pointed out significantly that the
heavy motor trucks do great injury
to the roads, and suggested that they
should be put under license charges,
scientifically calculated, which would
make them pay in proportion to the
damage done.
He said that it never had been in
tended that the State roads system
should be used as passenger and
freight lines, and pointed out that
the owners of those trucks which do
hauling as a business, have CONNER
cialized the State system. He thou
ght they should be made to pay d
fair compensation for that, and he
figured that, according to the meth
DDS used by railroads in determin-
ing costs, the owners of trucks max
ing from $50 TO $35 a day would
have to pay between SO and $12
per day for the maintenance OF the
right of way used.
Among those who spoke at the
hearing, in addition to Chairman
Zouck and Mr.. Yellott, were Mayor
]. w. Ennis, of Pocomoke City; Ma
yor James H. Strange, of Annapolis;
Senators Williams, Metzerott and AL
len; Reno S. Harp, w. Thomas
Kemp, John 5. Kimble and George
w. Woolford.
Most of them devoted their re-
marks to the proposition that Mary
land cannot turn back, and that the
modern roads must be maintained.
Senator Metzerott interjected the re-
mark that everyone seemed to agree
to that, and that it seemed proper to
talk about ways and means. He sug-
gested four sources of revenue: Ad-
ditional license charges upon motor
lists; license charges upon horse
drawn vehicles; direct tax and the

The INCOME TAX
Property Purchased, Sold, Inherited.

How you determine what amount
of gain, or profit, derived from a
sale of property is returnable for
income tax purposes:
If you acquired the property sold
prior to March /, 1913. you should
take its fair market price or value
as of that date, add thereto all
amounts subsequently expended in
making permanent improvements.
then deduct the aggregate of all
claims for depreciation in value of
property claimed as deduction on
previous returns, and the difference
between the result thus obtained and
the selling price is the amount to be
reported under Gross income"
If you purchased the property on
or after March 1, 1913, the differ
ence between its cost, plus all
amounts subsequently expended for
permanent improvements, less de-
probation previously claimed, and
it's selling price, is to be returned.
If the property came to you on or
after March l, 1918, as an inheri-
lance, the difference between the ap-
praised value placed upon it at that
time, plus all amounts subsequently
expended for permanent improve
ments, less depreciation previously
claimed, and its selling price, is to
be returned
