IGLEHART ANAL YES
MARYLAND UTILITY

A special analysis of Consolidated
Gas. Electric Light & Power Co. of
Baltimore was published today by the
statistical department of J. A. w. Igle-
hart & Co. Founded in 1916, the Con-
solidated now serves a territory of
nearly 400 square miles, and is the
largest public utility in this section.
The company ras recently extended its
gas service southwark as far as An
napolis and is now extending its pipes
Is miles north to Reisterstown,
According to the analysis, the Con-
solidated is constantly acquiring new
business and has signed valuable con-
tracts with the Western Electric Co,
the new aircraft plant Of the Glenn l.
Martin Co. and others. Besides eX-
panding its power output, the company
is rapidly developing both its steam
business and its gas business. At the
same time, the analysis points out, the
company during the period of 1928 to
1929 has called all of its high coupon
bonds and curtailed its cost for fixed
capital to marked degree.
In addition it has called all of its
go, 10 and 61S % preferred stock and
charged off the entire cost of this
financing to current earnings. VAL
uaDle IlgnCS nave Deen given 70 Vie
holders Of the company'S common stock
and, at the same time, several reduc-
tons have been made in rates to con-
sumerS.
The analysis states that interest on
all of the company's bonds is earned
more than three times and that GER
tain of the senior underlying obliga-
tions show interest earned more than
20 times. A comparison of price-earn-
ings ratios with 10 other major utili-
ties is made in the analysis.

Income TAX,

Taxpayers are advised by the Bureau
of Internal Revenue carefully to pre-
sent their claims with regard to deduc-
tons for losses. To be allowed. such
losses must conform closely to the
wording OF the statute. Losses are de-
ductible If incurred in the taxpayers
trade, business or profession, in any
transaction entered into for profit, or
from fires, storms. shipwrecks or other
casualties, or by theft, if not compen-
stated for by insurance or otherwise.
The term transaction entered into
for profit" means any kind of business
proposition. For example, a taxpayer
purchases an automobile to be used for
business purposes, which he sells at a
loss. AS this is business proposition
from start to finish. the loss sustained
is deductible But if he had purchased
the automobile to be used for pleasure
or convenience, the deduction would not
be allowable. 1t was not q transaction
entered into for profit.
Business losses result, usually, from
the purchase and sale of merchandise.
Such losses usually are ascertained by
means of inventories, which are re-
quired whenever in the opinion of the
commissioner of internal revenue their
u5e is necessary to determine the in
come of any taxpayer.
