King selomon,s Reservoirs.

Two OF the reservoirs built by King
solomon have been cleaned out, and
are being used to supply Jerusalem
with fresh water by means of an aaue-
duct which passed through Bethlehem.
The masonry work done by the great
Hebrew kings men has proved to he
very leaky, which is little wonder,
considering the length Of time which
has elapsed since the original com
struction, and money has to be spent
right along to keep it In repair.

INCOME TAx-DEDUCTION ON
AUTOMOBILES


Deductions allowed taxpayers in
connection with the maintenance ana
operation of automobiles are. the
subject of frequent inquiries from
taxpayers in fling an income tax re-
turn. The following is for the guild
ance Of owners and prospective own
ers.
Such cost for garage bills, gaso-
line, repairs, etc4may be deducted
as business expense when an auto
mobile is used wholly for business
purposes. or in trade, profession, OIL
farming. When used partly for sucn
purposes and partly for the pleasure
or convenience of the taxpayer and
mis- family, the cost may be pro-rated
and that part attributable to bust
ness or the other pursuits mention,
ed deducted as a business expense.
The. lame rule applies with regard
to. the deduction for depreciation,
which is allowed when an automobile
is used wholly in business, trade,
profession or farming, and must be
apportioned accordingly when used
partly for such purposes and partly
for pleasure. If an automobile is US
ed almost exclusively for pleasure,
deduction for depreciation is not al
lowed.
The purchase price of an automo-
bile, even when used wholly in bust
ness. cannot be deducted from gross
income. 1t is a capital expenditure,
deduction of which is expressly dis
allowed by the revenue act. The s.
per cent tax which attaches to the
sale Of an automobile cannot be de-
Quoted by the purchaser because it
is tax levied on the sale by the
manufacturer, and must be returned
and paid by him.. The manufacture
er may reimburse himself in the
amount Of the tax by agreement with
the purchaser, in manner prescribed
BY Treasury regulations. So far as
the purchaser is concerned, the tax
is part Of the cost to him Of the
automobile. The manufacturer may
not deduct the tax in his return, un-
less the amount is included in his
gross income.
An automobile license fee is re-
garded as tax, and may be deduct
ed whether the automobile is used
for business or for pleasure or con-
venience.
In the event Ola collision between
"a truck and ah automobile used for
pleasure or convenience, the owner
of the truck may claim a deduction
for damages, provided the truck was
being used for business at the time
Of the collision. No deduction is al /
lowed the owner of the automobile,
because it was not being used for
business purposes. Amounts expend-
ed by owners Of automobiles used for
pleasure or convenience in repairing
damages thereto caused by negligent
operation do not constitute deduct
ible losses.
Taxpayers are advised not to de-
ay in the filing of their returns. To |
do so results in confusion and con-
gestion during the closing days OF
the fling period, which ends at mid
night, March 15.f
