Buying back ones own mortgage

purchase Of property at less than
its face value is held not to result
IN q realization Of taxable inconrf
but, rather. in reduction OF the
cost Of the property, in a ruling
recently made by the income tax
department, according to M. T..
Seidman, tax expert of Seidrnan
and Seidman, certified public &C
countants Of New York city.
This ruling is of extreme Inn
portance, Mr.. Seidmgn exp aimed.
''as heretofore it has been ger.
orally regarded that where one
purchases his own obligations at
less than their face value he realizes
"a taxable gain.
In the particular case that gave
rise to the ruling, the taxpayer
gave HIS note In payment for the
purchase price OF an interest In a
partnership. SeversI years later,
the payee of the note agreed to
and did cancel it for. payment OF
less than its face value The in.

taxpayer rel lized no taxable gain
from the transaction the only ef
feet beng to reduce the cost of the
partnership assets to him.

Is given by ten-year research just

Experiments prove that fine
grinding makes concrete stronger,
especially ii greater amounts Of
cement are used with the sand and

obtained as economically through
the use Of more cement.
The research Is part Of b larger

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
EQUIPMENT TRISTS.

In my last article I called attention
10 testimony of the strength of equip
ment trust notes shown by the ST.
Paul receivership. Interest on these
certificates is being paid by order of
the court Notwithstanding the bank
ruptcy of the road. AS a matter of
fact there have been but two defaults
among railroad equipments for many
years and these two defaults by roads
extremely weak, so much so that for
a long time neither earned taxes or
operating expenses. The chances are
that investors in these two cases will
not suffer a total loss.
When the great volume of this kind
of financing is considered these two
instances have no significance. Proba-
bly, nowhere in the entire investment
field outside of United States Govern
ment and of gilt-edge real estate mort
cages can be found so great security
as in railway equipments. AS might
he expected from their high quality
the return obtainable on these obliga-
tions is comparatively small, ranging
around per cent at present.
Equipment trusts are not listed on
any exchange. but they have a ready
market nevertheless and can be
bought and sold in any quantity at
only slight variations in price They
are not as we'll known as they ought
to be to the average investor, the pur-
chasers being mostly banks, financial
institutions and large capitalists. For
one who must have a high degree of
safety, ready marketability and is will
ing to take return only little high
er tI1an the savings bank pays, equip.
ment trust certificates are highly de-
sirable.
