Authority Can Take Firm The act is so worded that the Public Authority can take over the local water company in accordance with its financial setup. This setup is a complicated one from a financial standpoint There is an issue of underlying bonds. There was established in 1928 a company called the Pennsylvania Water Service, which bought out the old Spring Brook Water Supply Company.

This com pany has an issue of bonds and like wise a note which it owes the Federal Water Service Company. "The Scranton Spring Brook Water Service Comnanv in addi tion owes the Federal Water Service Company certain obligations. There are issues of preferred stock of the Scranton Spring Brook Company, wmi-ii can oe UHiieu. uue to ine rate case, which began in 1928 and was finished in 1936. the real value of the Scranton Spring Brook Water service was appraised by the Public Service Commission in 193 1 at such low price that the market value of all the securities was.

greatly reduced the value was not in the property covered by the securities and because the water rates permitted by the Public Service Service Commission did not pro duce the revenue to make the se curities worth the par value at which they were issued. "The1 Public Authority Act permits the Public Authority when established to purchase the securities at par although they have never been worth par. The call values of the bonds and stocks which form the network of the seceurities is estimated in the petition to be Borrow At Lower Bate Since the floor of his skyscraper laboratory was planned to carry the weight of bank vaults, vibration is effectively eliminated. Special wall construction has been used to keep vagrant electrical currents from disrupting the delicate instruments. The muscles of the person being tested are connected with Dr.

Jacob-son's apparatus by tiny platinum electrodes which pick up the infinitesimal currents made by the muscles when they are slightly tensed. Persons who imagine themselves to be relaxed are amazed when these electrodes pick up muscle currents which are a sure sign that there is still some tension in the muscles. These residual muscular tensions, as Dr. Jacobson has termed them, are the natural enemies of complete relaxation. Most persons can relax many of their muscles easily enough, but some tenseness remains in others which offset many of the good results from the muscles which are relaxed.

The tensed forehead, tight muscles behind the ears, a tapning toe, these are the little muscle groups that remain tense, cause people to keep tense in general. Poor sleep, high blood pressure, excessive fatigue, and many of the vague ailments of civilized men are sometimes the result of tenseness lingering in small muscles after the big muscles have relaxed.

Aiken im-Vt.) declared today "we are about to engage in warfare that will untimately require the use of every American factory, of every American ship and the services of every American soldier a war that may result in American ships being sunk in foreign waters and American boys dying in foreign lands." In an address at a Washington birthday celebration by the Sons of the Revolution In Carnegie Hall, Aiken added: "We are divided now as to the wisdom of entering this war, but when we once go In we will fight as a united people. We will go in to win, and we will win.

We mayN De in wis conflict one year, two years, or -20 years, but we will emerge from it victorious in a military sense. Do we dare to contemplate the cost?" "Before a year from next July," he said, "America will have authorized expenditures for ourselves and our Allies, for defense purposes and materials of war over 35 billion dollars an amount squal to the entire debt of our nation less than four years ago. Within three years, out national debt will exceed 100 billion dollars 100 billion dollars spent, not to create wealth for the world, but to destroy it "Are we willing to pay this cost? Will American industry forego its profits; will American labor suspend its gains? Will the American public consent to doing with the barest necessities of life? "If we are to win In war or to win in peace, Americans must tighten their belts to the sacrifice tad do it now." INCOME TAX INFORMATION No. 24 Deduction For Depreciation The Internal Revenue Code provides for "a reasonable allowance for the exhaustion, wear and tear of property used in the trade or business, including a reasonable allowance for obsolescence." For convenience, such allowance usually is referred to as depreciation. In claiming a deduction for depreciation several fundamental principles must be observed.

The deduction must be confined to property actually used in a trade, business, or profession, and to improvements on real property, other than property used by the taxpayer as his personal residence. In general, it applies to the taxpayer's capital assets buildings, machinery, etc. the cost of which cannot be deducted as a buisness expense. A lawyer, doctor, or other pro fessional man may not charge off as a current expense the cost of a library used wholly in his profession, this being a capital expenditure and the library a capital asset: but he -may deduct an allowance for depreciation based uoon the useful life of the library. If part of a- pro fessional man residence is used by him for office purposes, a proportionate amount of the deprecia tion sustained may be deducted, based generally on the ratio of the number of rooms used for such purposes to the total number of rooms in the building.

The same principle applies if a taxpayer rents to others a portion of residence. Under such conditions, however, the tax-payer must inolude in his gross income the rentals received. U. S. citizens are spending more money for newspaper subscriptions now than even in the lush days of 1029.

Root, chief of motive power that 404 employes in the mechanical department are to be furloughed at the end of the working day Feb. 28. During the conference held in the office of Root, the System Federation Board was told that the company is putting an extensive retrenchment program into effect before March 1 and that all departments will be affected by the fur lough plan. It was explained, that the company suffered a severe loss in business last month as compared with January 1940, and that expenses must be pared as far as possible. No time limit is to be specified in the furloughs.

The question was: "Resolved, that the United Staites should enter- Immediately Into a union with the countries comprised in the British Commonwealth of Nations." The affirmative ws defended by three students from St Peters College, at Newark. N. I trio not to be disdained by any op. ponent. The negative was cham pioned by the Misericordia deba-t ers Miss Mary McGroarty, Miss Helen Mang, and Miss Eleanor Lyons.

The rirls won. The judges, At torneys Raymond T. Law and Don ald Ryan, of Scranton, and Attor ney John Gallagher, of Wllkee- Bareei-Ho4eeJded---Jer-ep-on- stderatlon. It was Just another in an almost uninterrupted succession of victories by Misericordia debat ing teams, which would appear to bs unbeatable. The reason is not far to seek.

They know the rationale of de bate, thoee girls from Misericordia. Their constructive arguments are Invariably masterful, and they cannot be lured into premature rebuttal. When the proper time for rebuttal comes, they tear the arguments of their opponents to pieces. overlooking never a point. On all the occasions when I have heard them, their rebuttal arguments have been nicely discriminating and convincingly, logical.

And their con structive reasoning has left but little that could be successfully rebutted. Mary McGroarty Is suavity itself. But don't pick an argument with her because her middle namt seems to be meekness. Helen Mang is self- possessed, confident, and so lucid that one cannot fail to impressed. Her concluding sentences are especially strong.

Eleanor Lyons marshals her facts superbly and puts into them all of her spirited personality. She can be counted on to pull the. audience up in its chairs and make the Judges take notice. Apothasis is not for her. She makes her arguments aennue and direct.

Misericordia debater sure all strong in natural qualities, of course. But hearing ttiem debate one cannot escape the conclusion that their natural qualities nave been reinforced by highly effective training. This shows not only In the force of their constructive ar guments, but in the skill and. effectiveness with which, in rebuttal. they; demolish the' arguments, or their opponents and give aaaea wpJirht to their own.

Even Jf lees effectively trained, the girl's would be formidable against almost any kind of opposition. Trained as they are, they are all but irresistible. In connection with the debate now under my own mind was open. For weuie i am strongly in sympathy- with Great Britain, and while I feel that defeat for her would involve distinctly unfortunate consequences for this country, I am not satisfied that we should rush into any union or alliance whatever. But even if on the merits of the question I might have been inclined to side with the affirmative debaters the other night on the merits of the arguments I should have had to decide for the uriholders of the negative.

"The Public Authority would probably, if the business was reasonably well managed, be able to realize enough to pay all expenses and retire the bonds without imposing an obligation in the way of taxes, and ultimately there might be a possibility of a reduction of rates. "The gist of the issue is that if the Public Authority could buy the old Scranton Spring Brook Water Service Company at the price fixed by the former Public Service Commission as its value, the period in which the present water rate would have to continue would be cut down rrk.t 1 uj juttujr jrcoxs.

iu wuui luwn price could be amortized and the revenue bonds retired in about half the time. Much less revenue would have to be raised from water after the retirement of the revenue bonds. "The estimated price of which the company is asking is entirely too high. If that amount is paid it would take nearly twice as many years to retire the revenue bonds issued to purchase the holdings, than if the proper price was established in the deal. "Also the tying up of Luzerne with Lackawanna county would be a great disadvantage to the consumers of Luzerne County.
