DEDUCTION FOR
DEPRECIATION,

The Revenue Act provides for "a
reasonable allowance for the eX-
haustion, wear and tear of property
used in the trade or business, in
cluding a reasonable allowance for
obsolescence" For convenience, such
allowance usually is referred to as
depreciation.
In claiming a deduction for depre-
citation several fundamental prin-
ciples must be observed. The de-
duction must be confined to prop
erty actually used in trade, busi-
ness. and/or profession, and to i'm
provements on real property, other
than property used by the taxpayer
as his personal residence. In gen.
eral. it applies to the taxpayers
capital assets-buildings machinery,
etc.-the cost of which cannot be
deducted as business expense.
A lawyer, doctor, or other profess
sional man may not charge off as a
current expense the cost of a library
used wholly in his profession. this
being a capital expenditure and the
library capital asset; but he may
deduct an allowance for deprecia-
ton based upon the useful life of the
library. If part of a professional
mans residence is used by him for
office purposes, proportionate
amount of the depreciation sus-
tanned may be deducted, based gen.
orally on the ratio of the number
of rooms used for such purposes to
the total number of rooms in the
building The same principal ap-
plies if a taxpayer rents to others
portion of his residence. Under such
conditions, however, the taxpayer
must include in his gross income the
rentals received.

BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 21.-Daniel
Willard, president Of the Baltimore

Immediately helpful by giving their
assent to the plan - = and secondly
they may perhaps have opportunity
to inform and advise others who
hold our securities, but who do not
understand the plan," Willard said.
I'm view of the fact that Balti-
more & Ohio gross earnings last
year were less than one-half the
amount earned in 1923, and only
$4,000, 900 more than half the amount
earned in 1929. I am unwilling to
believe that our business and earn
ings are going to. remain on the
present basis. Our traffic is al
ready somewhat larger than 1t was
a year ago, and believe it will
continue to increase, slowly, perhaps,
but more or less constantly = -"
The plan, Willard said, provides
that for a period OF years the
company may withhold some or all
of the interest on certain of its
bonds to an amount equal
to approximately $11,OOOO0O a year,
leaving about $40 100000 of interest
remaining to be paid regularly each
year as heretofore. The company
feels certain that even under exist
ing conditions it can earn and pay
that amount and at the same time
maintain the property"
Willard said more than II per cent
Of the holders of the roads securi-
ties had agreed to the plan, but that
the assent of 80 per cent was needed.
He appealed to employees not only
to explain the plan, but to help Sc
cure additional business and elimi-
nate waste. A saving of 10 per cent
