Summer School Expenses
Denied as Tax Deduction
BY the Associated Press

DANvHLE, Va, Sept. o.
Summer school expense is not an
allowable deduction from Federal
income tax, the Tax Court Of the
United States has ruled in the
case of Mrs. Nora Payne Hill,
Danville school teacher.
She filed suit when the Rich
mond Bureau Of the Collector Of
Internal Revenue told her she
owed $57.52 more on her 1945
income tax.
The Tax Court holds that this
was . personal expense and not
an item which could be expected
as an ordinary and necessary ex-
pense, hence deductible.
Mrs. Hill, who took a six-week
course at Columbia University,
costing $23e .50,se contended she
was improving her cultural level
and efficiency by taking the
course.
