hits.
Going into the eighth inning OF
the same game, Bentley hit safely

second time and once again he got
the ball safe.
Getting two hits in two different

careful perusal OF the records in my
possession fail to reveal a similar
performance IN the leagues OF a

National Association of Real

Depreciation Data.

Determination OF the average useful
life practically to be expected for
buildings of every principal type is
the purpose Of an investigation now
being made by the National Associ-
alton of Real Estate Boards.
The work is being carried on at the
request of the United States Bureau
of Internal Revenue. The bureau is
seeking thus to obtain data which
may be used in determining the rules
to he followed in computing the de-
probation and obsolesCenCe of real es-
tate improvements as allowed under
the income tax law.
+ While the inquiry was initiated at
the request of the Revenue Bureau
and will have its first application TO
the practical problem of establishing
estimated rates of depreciation and
obsolescence for buildings for use in
making income tax computations and
returns. it is expected to furnish in
cidentally the first authoritative table
as to the average eXpeCtant length of
service which the ordinary building.

or an office building, has before it.

The study is the first attempt to
make possible for buildings the forma-
ton of tables of life expectancy COM
parable to those established by the eX-
perience of insurance companies in
estimating human life expectancy.
The president of each of the 654
member boards Of the association
within the territorial limits of the
United States has been asked to ap-
point a special committee to work
with the National Association of
Real Estate Boards in compiling data
for the revenue bureaus use. The
committees will bring to the inquiry
the experience of the men in each
city who are informed as to the actual
Iength of useful life which buildings
Of each type have in that community.
Covers 13 CIassifications.
. The inquiry will cover 13 classified
tions as to types of buildings, and
will deal with the eXpectant length of
life of each type in each of six types
of construction. Types of buildings
to be covered are office buildings,
stores, warehouses, loft buildings, fac
tories, public garages, theaters, hotels
and elevator apartments, apartments
and flats without elevators, stores
