Are repairs TO property used in
trade or business deduetibls?

'oSV w bVSutSSS 0e6SSttbtSk
Ordinary repairs to property
used in the trade or business are
deductible; however, betterments
which enhance the value of the
property are not.
The distinction between improve
ments Capital expenditures and
repairs (expense) is not always
clear. The Tax Court, however, has
stated that "a repair is an expen-
diture for the purpose of keeping
the property in an ordinarily eff
Gent operating condition" 1t does
not add to the value of property,
nor does it appreciably prolong its
life. 1t merely keeps the property
in an operating condition over its
probably useful life for the uses
for which it was acquired.
Expenditures for that purpose
are distinguishable from those for
replacement, alterations, improve
ments or additions which prolong
the life of the property, increase
its value, or make it adaptable to
a different use. The one is a main
tenance charge, while the others
are additions to capital investment
which should not be applied against
current earnings. If expenditures
constitute costs of conversions
which make the property adapt
able for different use, they are
not deductible.
How is depreciation figured on
Q dwelling which is rented?

New Buildings
Another eye-sore has been re.
moved from Duval St. at the loca.
ton where the Three Sisters store
plans to expand. The first thing
you know we're going to have a
modern looking business section.
If only the sidewalks could be
narrowed a couple of feet on each
side, we might eventually be able
to allow parking on both sides Of
DuyA and still have room for two
lanes of traffic!
Have you noticed how many new
businesses are moving out into the
area around Truman and White
Sts.? While this is probably due
to cheaper rent, think a major
factor in the new locations is also
due to wider streets and better
parking facilities for customers.
There Is even q neighborhood the.
alter out on Truman Ave. now.
Meaehsm Field
Meacham Field is to have 4 fire

missioners. This is fine-some.
thing that has been needed there
for a long time. However, who Is
going to operate it?
With all due respect for the PEG.
pie who work at various Jobs at
Meacham, it should be realized
that fighting a crash fire Is a
highly technical job. When an air
plane smacks into the ground, put.
ting out the fire is of secondary
interest. Rescue Of personnel must
be accomplished in a matter of
seconds or by-standers might rs
well hang up their hats and con.
tinue reading the latest comic
books. Moreover unless the res
cuers know what they are doing.
they are likely to end up as dead
heroes.
Perhaps George Faraldo will be
able to organize some firefighting
and crash rescue classes at Mea-
cham. We've been blessed by not
having any major catastrophe out
that way. Accidents will happen,
however, and it would be nice to
know that we're prepared for
them.

HOW MUCH WILL WE PAY FOR COFFEE BEFORE
1T HITS THE SKIDS?

Frederick H. Green had letter in The Citizen last
Friday about the price of coffee His illustration was
apt-he horse trader waited to learn just how much
the prospective buyer wanted the horse before the trad
er decided on the amount he would ask for it.
So there you have it-how much do you want cof-
fee? The want it the higher the price will 60.
But that's only side of the picture of supply
and demand. Here in Key West time and again, have
the other side of the picture We recall instance
few years ago when the market was glutted with
mackerel and the price dropped and dropped, that
mackerel meters had hard time making both ends
meet. But the price for crawfsh high, many
mackerel fishermen went crawfshing and it was not
long before that market glutted, and the price
dropped and dropped whereas the price for mackerel
increased.
In every Latin American country with the price
for coffee at peak it has reached before,
farmers and grovemen have reduced their activity in
growing other products and concentrating plant
ing millions of additional coffee trees Coffee growers
furiously active to take advantage of the high price,
will glut the market much in the way that mackerel
fishermen, who turned to crawfishng, glutted the
crawfsh market.
That "gold rush" has been the way of the world
since civilization began not only applies to growers,
from cotton to coffee-remember the frequent price
fixing by the to cotton growers from
bankruptcy? - but also to manufacturers in all fields
The automobile market is now gutted and also the
market for many home appliances Manufacturers work.
ed in three shifts to try to reach the demand that began
to fall off year ago. They not only reached it,
but went far beyond the demand and piled up surplus
goods that they now sweating in trying to sell.
So will be with coffee when the countless millions
OF additional coffee trees into productivity Coffee
growers doing what cotton growers did during
the First World War; when cotton shot to its highest
price In the countrys history But much additional cot
ton produced the price topped and toppled, the
price of coffee will toppe and topple
Demand is the dominant factor in the law of sup
ply and demand Let demand exist for anything and you
be will not be long before will be supplied
and then oversupplied.
The Citizen does not know how high the price of
coffee will go-some dealers predict as high $3.50
pound = but The Citizen does know that just as soon
as oversuppy begins and it will begin, as always has
begun with all products the price of coffee will drop and
drop till its adjusts itself with demand
