Syr Scuse-Wawasee Journal Syracuse, Indiana Friday, Feb. 22, 1946. “AROUND TOWN** with J. B. C. The property valuation of Syracuse and Turkey Creek township ’ is five to six times as great as that of most adjoining townships. This > added wealth,, is of course,> a result of lake property. Owners of ■ lake in t ils township pay four dollars in taxes to every one paid by farmers. And that is the reason we have me of the very lowest tax rates In the state. The Pickwick building fire will run about $300,000. Syracuse merchants will lose Ji the next two years another $3)0,000 as a result of this costly fire. Check up on your fire insurance right now. Values have doubled in last few years—-and don’t you forget it. A farmer can get added protection and lower nsurance rates if he has water available for a fire —an underground cistern or a water tank. It is going tc be at least two years before lumber and building material become available in any quantity. Home owners and factories and business places should check up on all fire hazards and prevent fires. If you are burnt out now, you are really out!' We had. we believe weU over one hundred citizens congratulate us our article in last week’s paper about the lack of proper fire fighting equipment and personnel, here. Thanks a lot—but also be sure to tell the trustee and the town board what youc think. They are the boys who can remedy the situation. Anyone can “sound off” about anything on the street corner, or in private gossip. Published statements must be true. An item of unusual interest to many people: Laucks Xanders, who was in Australlia many months in the early months of the war, was the first American soldier to be initiated into the O. E. S. in Brisbane. (Tip to Masons: He may tell something of his visits to various lodges in Australia, at next regular meeting.) The North Webster fire station was badly damaged by fire recently.

Indianapolis, Feb. 7.— There is no finer hospitality than that found in Indiana and the state is preparing to give its guests a fore-taste of It as they cross its borders this summer. A friendly greeting will be effected by attractive signs illustrated above. Approximately sixty of them will be placed at points where important highways Intersect the state line. The project Is being carried out jointly by the State Highway Commission, the Department of Commerce and Public Relations, the Conservation Department and the State Police, and the first ones will be erected April Ist. The boards are four feet high and seven feet wide. A huge “Wnmur, in white, is superimposed on a black background while the smaller “to Hoosierland” Is in gold. The coloring and lettering were so designed as to make the wording clearly readable and both the white and gold will be In Scotchllte —a luminour, reflecting substance which will show up as silver and gold at night. In the lower right hand corner, in comparatively small letters are the words “State Highway Commission of Indiana". Several additional ways of persuading travelers to linger a little longer in Hoosierland are being planned by state officials and these greetings should help them to feel “at home" from the very beginning.

A new and effective treatment for diarrhea in young calves, by Dr. Hess and Clark ! at Thornburg Drug Co. ALLOWABLE EXPENSES ARE / DEDUCTIBLE FROM YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN Deductions on income tax returns due March 15 may include a number of items particularly applicable to motorists. Allowable expense, it is pointed out, depends to a great extent upon use of the motor vehicle — business or pleasure. Automobile expenses deductible by all motorists of state license fee. city vehicle tax,, state gasoline tax, sales tax,\ personal property tax. driver’s license fees, casualty losses not reimbursed by insurance, and interest onXmitomible loans. \ For the operation of motor vehicles for business only, tax payers are entitled to include the follow* : ing additional items in figuring de- ' ductions: Gasoline, oil and grease, Federal use tax. depreciation, repairs, insurance, garage rent, washing, tolls. towing. parking charges, chauffeurs salary and accident claims, the latter being money paid as damages or in settlement of claims /arising from negligent operation of car for business’. L Nor/-deduct:ble car expense I items are: Federal gasoline tax. Federal tax on tires and tubes, finance charges on installment purchases of vehicle, loss resulting from accident due to taxpayer's willful negligence, expense of driving between home and office or place of work, and fines, costs or penalties for violation df motor laws. It is explained that instead of itemizing their allowable deductions on this year’s income tax returns. taxpayers whose income was less than $5,000 may receive an automatic deduction by figuring I their tax by means of the table on the fourth page of the Income tax [return (Form 1040). Taxpayers whose income was over $5,000 are given the option of claiming a “Standard” exemption of SSOO instead of the .specific exemptions to which they would otherwise be entitled. « Many motorists, the bulletin asserts, may use their automobile partly for business and partly for pleasure. In such cases, it is suggested that the motorist compile his various items of expense in running his car, then take as a deduction a part of the total which is proportionate to the business use of the car.
