| A misunderstanding which re- suited in failure to have his peti- ton placed on the chairmans table before the annual town meeting last night caused the defeat of Ralph L. Seymour's proposal to increase the salaries of the first selectman, board Of relief, and auditors. and the mat ter will be referred 10 the new town board of finance for consideration along with the salaries of other town officials.

There were about 50 persons present Chairman Prior opened the meeting by reading a resolution submitted by former Third Selectman Edward P. Prior and calling for acceptance of the town officers reports and of the budget for the coming year. The chairman objected 10 voting on them as a group and on motion of Stan- ley $, GWillim it was decided to take them up separately, The first one was that of the selectmen, and it took much turning of the pages in the printed pamphlets before it could be decided what this actually was. Then it was accepted, as were the reports of the town treasurer. library committee, Plainville Public Health Nursing association. school committee. The reports of the health officer and superintendent of schools which were not printed. were not brought before the meeting.
 When the budget was taken up 1t was explained that it would be necessary to add S2.500 to the S177.- 310.25 total in the booklets, as that amount had been voted for state aid road building since the selectmen prepared their estimates. A. A. Macleod asked if the Sl0.000 appro- priation for highways was sufficient 10 keep them in shape and First Selectman James Simpson said not, venturing. If anybody rides over the roads he'll be willing to pay money to have them put in shape" l.. r. Prior explained the new $500 appropriation. R. J.

Washington. d. c., March 8.--De-
auctions from the gross income tax
permitted under the regulations Of
the bureau Of Internal Revenue on
account Of automobile ownership ana

ment from the American Automobile
Association today.
First, the car owner may deduct

Depreciation should be figured on
the basis Of the life Of the motor
vehicle. On passenger cars this
would figure around 20 per cent, per
annum, and on trucks about 25 per
cent.
How can a motorist determine
whether or not he is entitled to the
advantages set forth in the last
clause, that is, the deduction of
maintenance costs? On this point
the Legal Department of the A. A. A.

Expenses Pr0rated
