CLEVELAND, June IS.-Millions
of dollars will be saved in Federal
taxes through the possibility of re
bates by the Government. as a result
of ruling of the Federal Board of
Tax Appeals recognizing obsolescence
in buildings, speakers at the closing
session of the National Building
Owners and Managers Association
convention declared yesterday.
Shifts in business districts and
changes of styles in building and
equipment tend to make commercial
buildings obsolete long before they
wear out" Col. Gordon Strong. Chi,
cago, declared. "Henceforth obsoles-
cence is to take its place alongside
depreciation in income tax reduc-
tionS."
The allowance for obsolescence
under the ruling may total as much
as per cent year, although there
may be no immediate intention to raze
the structure, it was pointed out
The reduction, under the ruling is
retroactive to 1919, provided property
