Phinney, District Director of Internal Revenue in Austin, re minded property owners today that they should record evidence of the losses immediately rather than .waiting for the next filing period. Refore and after pictures, be fore and after appraisals, cost of property records, depreciation re cords, and records of insurance and disaster relief recoveries are some of the important records that are necessary to establish the actual loss. The actual cost of restoring or Two A&M Profs Honored By USDA . Two members of the Texas Ag ricultural Experiment Station re cently received an outstanding hon or from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Dr. John H. Quisenberry, head of the Department of Poultry Sci ence, and Dr. John P. Delaplane, head of the Department of Vet erinary Medicine, have been named consultants in the USDA’s new re view service. As described by the USDA, this is . .a comprehensive review service. . .” available to state ex periment stations. Organized within the State Ex periment Stations Division of the USDA, the review service is avail able to any state experiment sta tion. Upon request from the station for review in a particular field, a team of consultants, chosen from national leaders in their respect ive fields, gives careful scrutiny to the past, present and future po tential of subject, and writes a summarized report of findings and recommendations. Delaplane was named a consult ant in veterinary science, and Quisenberry wi 11 sei*ve as consult ant in poultry science. replacing the damaged or lost pro perty is not deductible. Thefts, ex penses for personal injuries, tem porary lights, fuel, moving or rentals for temporary quarters are not deductible as a casualty loss. The loss may be computed by subtracting the value immediately after damage, prior to any repairs, from the value immediately before damage. This resulting figure may not exceed the adjusted cost of the property. The adjusted cost is the capital investment minus allowed or allowable depreciation. Any in surance or relief payments received must also be subtracted. In some cases where insured property is destroyed, it is possible to have a taxable gain. Property owners that have ex tensive losses or complicated tax problems should seek advice from competent tax practitioners for assistance in recording evidence of losses and in preparing their tax return. Mr. Phinney also stated that taxpayers may secure Internal Revenue Service Publication No. 155, “How the Federal Income Tax applies to Losses from Hurricanes, Floods, and Other Disasters”, by writing to Internal Revenue Ser vice, 314 West .11th Street, Austin, Tex.

CAMPUS CLEANERS ASCE Journal Publishes TTI Man’s Pap er Proceeding's of the Ameri can Society of Civil Engineers entitled “Journal of the Struc tural Division” and issued July 1957 contains a technical paper of Henson K. Stephenson, a research engineer of the Texas Transportation Institute. The paper—Highway Bridge Live Loads Based on Laws of Chance— was presented by Stephenson at the national meeting of the A.S.C.E. earlier this year at Jack- son, Miss. The paper describes a new method, based on elementary prob ability theory, that has been de veloped by estimating live load frequencies on highway bridges to be expected from various types and levels of heavy motor vehicle operation. The main objective of the meth od is to provide a relatively simple mathematical basis for estimating approximately how often any spec ified sequence or group of two or more vehicles might be expected to occur on any particular part or length of bridge as a result of given or anticipated compositions, volumes, and speeds of traffic.
