Rewards Are Offered.

Eleven false alarms turned in with

moned. In two cases the same alarm
was sent in twice, and on four occa-
Sions the fire alarm operators failed
TO make their alarms effective. so that
the companies actually responded to
seven alarms.
The false alarm record is as follows:
1914, box 235, First and r streets;
1924, box 234, Third and @ streets;

Income Tax Problems
Simplified for ALI
No. Is.


To obtain deduction for travelling
expenses, which form an important
item in the returns Of many taxpayers,
certain regulations must be observed.
The taxpayer is required to attach to
his return a statement showing the
nature of business in which engaged,
number of days away from home dur.
ing the taxable year on account of
business. total amount of expenses an
cidental to meals and lodging while
absent from home on business, and
total amount of "other expenses in.
cidental to travel and claimed as a
deduction" Among the "other ex.
penses" are tips, which are held to be
a part of travelling expenses, provided
they are reasonable in amount.
Travelling expenses are deductible
only when the trip is on business.
They are limited to such expenses as
are reasonable and necessary in the
conduct of the business and directly
attributable to it. Examples are pay
ment for the use of a sample room or
the hire of vehicles in visiting Gus
toners.
If a person whose business requires
him to travel receives salary as full
compensation for his services. without
reimbursement for travelling expenses.
or is employed on a commission basis
with no expense allowance, his travel.
ing expenses, including the entire
amount expended for meals and lodg-
ing, are deductible from gross income.
If a person receives a salary and is
also repaid his actual travelling ex.
penses, he must include in his gross
income the amount so repaid, and may
deduct such expenses.
Travelling expenses incurred in con-
nection with journey to another city
to accept or seek employment are not
deductible. Suburbanites who COM
mute daily from their homes to their
places of business are not permitted to
deduct the cost of transportation, 1t
being a personal expense. Claims for
deductions for travelling expenses must
be substantiated, when required by the
commissioner of internal revenue, by
records showing in detail the amount
and nature Of the expenses incurred.
