terminate the contract and made q pro-
posal by which the company will in
crease It's return from the Staten Island
transfer privilege. Under the present
contract, which was executed in Septem-
Der. 1914, the traction company gets
three cents Of the Ave cent fare for the
ferry-surface car ride. In the petition
of the receiver It was asserted that the
average cost of carrying a passenger OH
the lines of the system is So.0s6+4. Nh.
Burr said that he would recomnssmd to
the Board Of Estimate that 1t approve
of new contract under which the COM
pany would be allotted so.os75i out Of
the ave cent fare.
Modification IL Possible
In instructing the receiver TO give
notice Of a determination to revoke the
contract, Judge Mayer let open a chance
for a new arrangement that Will con-
tinue the FIVE cent fare. Calvin. d. Van
Name, President of the Borough Of
Richmond, and representatives OF civic
bodies of that borough had said that
their interest was in the regular week
day traveller and not in the Sunday and
holiday pleasure seeker. The court APP
pointed a committee composed of L. L.
Tribus, president of the Staten Island
Chamber Of Commerce: c. g. Kolff.
secretary of the Chamber Of Commerce.
and William Writ Mills of the Staten
Island Civic League, to CONFER with the
receiver as to a modification of the con-
tract to permit Of the continuation Of the
transfer on week days only.
The hearing was marked by a spirit
of compromise and of recognition of the
unfortunate position in which the trac-
ton company finds itself because OF in
creased costs. The general drift of the
discussion, including the remarks In
which the court announced itself, was
such as to indicate that the transfer
privilege will be continued under the s
cent fare, with the city accepting
smaller percentage and with the Sunday
and holiday travellers excluded from its
privilege.

EMPLOYERS TOPAY
TAX FOR EMPLOYEES
State Comptroller Will Look
Only to Source for Income
Collections.

ALsANr, June Estate Comptroller
Travis made public to-day q statement
In which he makes additional rulings on
the new State income tax According to
the Comptroller one Of the most COM
pick features Of the law has to do with
withholding at the source" by every en-
ployer. Under the rules only incomes
earned for personal services are az
fected. This means salaries, wages,
commissions. sratuities, emoluments and
peruuisites, although other kinds of per-
sonh service incomes may be added II
nxed, determinable. annual or periodi-
CAL" The statement says:
Income Is fxed when Il Is to be
paid In amounts definitely predetermined,
that is, whenever there Is a basis Of
calculations by which the amount to be
paid may be ascertained. This may not
necessarily be paid annually. but rather
periodically, that is. from time to time, ;
whether or not at regular intervals
Should the length Of time be increased
or diminished the payments are none the
less determinable or periodical.
To ascertain. however, whether a
salary. wage. commission or gratuity Is
fixed or determinabie, annual or peri
odicar "a It must be determined prior
10 or concurrent with, or subsequent to.
the rendering Of the service; ca based
on personal service rendered by, the hour,
week, month, year or other period; ca
on the performance Of certain specified
or unspecined duties; (4) on work done
on or in connection with one or more or
certain articles or parts, regardless of
whether the payments are made in cash,
board or lodging. property. service or
otherwise.
The occasional entry into the State
OF Nonresident employee, working
entirely without the State, but returning
TO report, receive instruction, &C. in
cidental to his work. does not disturb his
classification. Where the non-resident's
income Is for services partly performed
within and without. the Withholding
agent deducts on the entire compensa-
ton unless he files with the Comptroller
an AFFIDAVIT that 1) employee IN a nom
resident: (2) that part only Of the pay
ments were made for services performed
within the State; (3) with the amount
In dollars and cents Of such part
'In appordoning the income Of nom
resident statesmen and other employees
through whose services receipts or re-
muneration inure directly to the en-
ployer. only that portion of the entire
salary which the volume Of business he
transacts within bears to the total car
ried on within and without is attach
