Hurricane Damage
Deductible Item
• Hurricanes in the Gulf Coast
area have caused extensive damage
to property recently. These
casualty losses are -'ordinarily de
ductible on income tax returns. R.
L. 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.

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

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

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.

applies to Losses from Hurricanes,
Floods, and Other Disasters”, by

ASCE Journal

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.
