Among the 1893 decisions handed
down in the last year was one con-
cerning a bayou in Louisiana.
The stream, located in Terre-
bonne Parish, should be called
Bayou Colyell," the board decided.

N~ON-DEDUCTIBLE LOSS ON
SECURITIES
BY CHARLES S.
C. p. A.

II an individual, other than a
dealer in stocks or securities sus.
talns a loss from the sale or ex-
change of stocks, bonds or other
securities, such loss will not be
allowed as a deduction if the trans
action comes within the provisions
defined as wash Sales" where it
appears that, within a period be.
ginning thirty days before the date
OF sale or disposition and ending
thirty days after such date, the
individual taxpayer has acquired
IN any manner or has entered into
a contract or agreement to &C.
qulre, substantially identical
stocks, bonds or other securities,
then no deduction for the loss sus-
tanned will be permitted. How
ever, if the amount of the stocks,
bonds or other securities acquired,
or are to be acquired under an
option, contract or agreement are
less than the. amount of stocks,
bonds or other securities sold or
otherwise disposed of, then the
particular shares of stock, bonds
or other securities the loss from
the sale or exchange of which is
not deductible shall be determined
under specific rules prescribed by
the commissioner of internal rev.
enue.
wv
When the individual is denied
the benefit of a loss because of
the wash sales rules, the amount
OF the loss so denied as a deduc.
ton should be added to the basis
OF the stocks, bonds or other Sc
curities last purchased, thereby in
creasing the basis of cost for any
future sale OF other disposition, for
example:
The Individual taxpayer pur-
chases in 1888 one share of stock
in the w corporation for 500. 90,
which he sold on December IS,
1889 for $500 with a net loss sus.
tanned of $500 and on January
10, 1910 he purchased one share of
stock in the w corporation for
$500. No deduction would be per-
mitted for the loss off $3.50 on
the share sold, however the cost of
the share purchased would be in.
creased to $1,000, which equals
the amount of the excess paid for
the new share over the amount
received for the share sold, or in
another way, the amount of the
loss on the sale for which the de-
duction was not allowed is added
to the cost of the new share pur-
chased. 1
