TEAMS
 TO CLEAN SNOW
Assembled Men and Equipment Start on Highways; Copper Basin, Cherry Creek and Sen ator Hills to Be Passable
CFrom Tuesdays Dailyl

The board of supervisors is not re- sponsible for the falling of the Snow, but it is holding itself responsible for the removal of such of it from the county roads as teams and trucks can handle.
 This was the statement of Chair man Midgley at yesterdays meeting of the board.
 Teams and trucks, scrapers and drags, in fact all the equipment need ed to clear snow off the highways, IS being assembled with all speed from the southern part of the county, and within a day or two the roads will be cleared. All roads are now pass able in a certain sense, but when the teams get through with them, they will be as of yorc.
 Copper Basin hill, Cherry Creek hill, Dewey, Jersey Lily, Senator and Williamson valley roads are the ones designated by the board of super visors for immediate action. Some work is already in progress.
 Most of the county's roads equip Iment in crews and materials have been engaged ill winter work in the southern end of the county. That is why it has taken a week to get things started in the snow line. One cf the important pieces of southern work is the construction of the con meeting link with the Mohave county highway department between Hill side and beyond the Santa Maria which is designed to bring the bulk of the northwestern traffic into Pres cott by an easy route. Another. piece of work just now is that between Congress Junction and the Bullard mine, which will divert great quanti tics of southern traffic into Yavapai county by eliminating 20-milc roundabout road as now provided by Naricopa county.
 A request that some work be done to clear snow off the Jersey Lily road yesterday was met with acquies- cence by the board. When the new Hassayampa route is constructed through that country, the sideways N;ll be cleared of trees, letting the sun and wind in to protect the road against drifts such as now impede traffic.

booklets to friend in the east, that friend would pass it on to another, and so OH. It would be an endless chain, wouldn't it?
 T have sent out several copies of the booklet, one to friend of mine who has retired from business. This friend has now written me, saying he IS convinced it would be a great thing to come out here and make his home.
 "Yet to build up the city, more must be done than to bring people here. When a stranger comes into Prescott, and finds people knocking their own town, he's not likely to stay there and go into business, is he? Of course not And I under stand that is why there is knocking in some quarters. When heard that a prominent citizen of Prescott publicly said We don't want any more people in Prescott I was astonished. Southern California didn't become one of thc thriving re- gic'ns of the west through that kind Of boosting.
 There IS going to De a. great deal of agricultural development in Yava- pal county" MT. O'Brien continued, and there will be a thriving town right here, if we all get together and boost with the right spirit, instead of knocking our own bread and butter"

INCOME TAX FACTS
No. 2.

No. z.
 . Forms for making returns of in- come for the year 1921 have been revised and simplified, and contain instructions which if carefully fol lowed will be of material aid to tax payers in the avoidance of errors.
 Many of these errors are due to misunderstanding of the exemption allowed a head of family, defined by treasury regulations. as person who actually supports and maintains in one household. one or more indi- viduals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, rela- tionship by marriage or by adoption or whose right to exercise family control and provide for these depend ents is based upon some moral or legal obligation"
 The exemptions allowed a head ol a family under the revenue act oi 1921 are the same as granted mar ried person-$2, 500 where the net in come for 1921 was $5,OOO or less and $2,000 where the net income exceed ed $5,000. Circumstances surround ing each individual case determine largely whether person is entitled to such exemption.
 A single person-the term includ- ing widowers, widows, and persons pot living with wife or husbands the head of family if he is the sole support of one or more relatives liv- ing in the same house with him, and if he exercises control of household affairs A married person living with husband or wife, in addition to the exemptions allowed such persons can not claim all exemption as the head of d family, irrespective of the support of others ill the household.
 Exemptions Not for All
 Whether a person who does not continuously live in the same house with dependent relatives is entitled to the exemptions depends upon the character of the separation. If a par cnt is away on business part of the year or child or other dependent is away on visit, the. common home being maintained, the exemptions may De fclannef If a. parent is compelled to maintain his dependent children with relatives, or in a boarding house, the exemption may still apply. If. however, the dependent continS- cusly and without necessity makes his home elsewhere than with his tenefactor, the latter is not the head of family, irrespective of the ques- ton of support.
 A taxpayer who is not the head of family may still be allowed the exemption of $+00 for each person dependent upon him for chief sup
